    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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, my name is Alan and I'm from South Yorkshire in the UK.
My bikes are predominately 2 stroke triples (Suzukis) both air & water cooled and usually restored by me.
I've been a biker since 1967 (yup, really!) with a gap in the middle when life and work got in the way, then started again with a Honda 6 - as you do after a 25 year hiatus! - and several GT550s (still have 2 plus a GT750 that we tour on, and other Suzy 2 strokes.)
I recently bought a restored GS750 in Maui blue and managed a shake down run without issue - just need some better weather now. Sold a GSX1400 a couple of years ago, so I'm used to 4 stroke multis - we'll have to see how good this particular GS is but so far, signs are good.

Welcome to the site, Alan.
Nice looking bikes.
Just curious as to the brand of chambers on the GT550?

Made by Mick Abbey of Abbeyspeed and he reckons they should get 20hp per cylinder.
I realise that's not a lot compared to modern bikes, but it is for a 70s GT model!

Here's a better pic taken partway down the Sulby straight at the IOM Classic TT 4 years ago with a couple of 'friends'.
