    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.

I have become the owner of a 1980 GS850G. This is the 3rd 850 I have owned in all my years of riding. There is something about the styling of these bikes that just seem to strike that right cord with my sensibilities. I have not taken possession of it yet but hope to have it under my roof by the middle of March. I look forward to being a part of this group.

Gotta love the 850... I see your not to far from me, maybe we can meet up this summer. Welcome to GSR it's a great website.

VERY well stated. Simple, to the point and absolutely true. A feeling, I think, shared by the majority of us.
Welcome aboard and good luck with your new mount!

Well, the first was back in the mid-80's, a GS850G ... which got totaled within 6 months of ownership. The 2nd was back in the late-90's, a GS850GL ... had that one for a few years and sold it to a friend who was looking to get back into riding. And now I have this one ... almost identical to the 1st ... and I do not plan on letting this one go from my possession.
 
ok, apparently I made a mistake on the year of my GS850G. When I bought it on eBay, it was listed as a 1980 but the title I (now have in hand) reads the bike is a 1981 GS850G. hmmm, for me it is just good to actually know the real year of Ol' Blue ... that's the name I gave it.

Great to see more 850g's! I just picked my first gs850g up and I love it! Im only 20 and Im already in love! Thanks for sharing!! Cheers!
