    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi. I'm Alex, live on the Sussex Coast, been building, modifying, riding for over 20 years.
I'm currently running a 1978 GS1000 Cafe-Fighter. It's had all non-essentials stripped off, satin black paint with chequered stripe down the tank and tailpiece. Box section alloy swingarm, GSXR wheels and brakes. 4-1 exhaust with carbon fibre Micron can. Koso digital mini-speedo and fuel gauge. Black anodised renthall style bars with polished switchgear. Polished engine casings, rocker cover and carb tops.

I've only just finished it, off for MOT soon but need to sort a temperamental starter motor issue first!

I'll take some photos once it's out of my garage. Look forward to chatting soon!

:)
 
Hi Alex and welcome from another UK member. looking forward to seeing some pics, the bike sounds great!
 
Thanks for the welcome guys. Here's a little taster pic for now until I get some decent ones....
 
Welcome to the asylum Alex from a transplanted Brighton boy! Where exactly are you in Sussex?
 
Welcome! That checkered flag on the tank reminds me of Speed Racer. Also, Take On Me by Aha.

Post more pics of your bike...especially with your historic country in the background.

Welcome to the forum. I'm kind of partial to your model bike.:D Need more pics.
 
Thanks guys. Sorry for the delay, have been away from my computer for a few days...

I promise I'll get some decent pics up soon... Having got it ready for MOT I discovered oil weeping from the rocker gasket onto the downpipes, so spent Saturday rectifying that rather than getting it MOTd!
 
OK guys, here's a quick one I snapped last night when I had to get it out the garage to get a mate's bike in...
 
Welcome

Welcome

Were you anywhere in the middle of this lot on May Day in Hastings?

Sadly not, as I spent the Saturday rectifying a leaking rocker cover rather than getting an MOT...

Hi,

If you are here you probably have a 30 year old motorcycle that needs about 20 years worth of maintenance. In the links below you'll find maintenance lists, documentation, wiring diagrams, "how to" guides, vendor links, tips, tricks, and a whole lot of GS goodness. This is your "mega-welcome". Let's get started. :)

Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome".

All of these tasks must be addressed in order to have a safe, reliable machine. This is what NOT to do: Top 10 Newbie Mistakes. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...
