    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.

Hey guys, Sleepy here, I've been a moto head since 1987 and a Suzuki GS fan for several years.
I love the lines of the GS bikes and I LOVE the Shaft drive and smoothness of the GS850G especially.

I look forward to learning and figuring out tips and tricks from this site!

I have two bikes currently,

A 1980 GS850G that is a work in progress (Maroon)
80 gs850G.jpg
and a 1982 GS850G that is about as mint as a person can make one. (blue)

I love these bikes!

You can also listen in to some nice garage talk with me as I am part of the ClevelandMoto Vintage Motorcycle podcast. We have been going since 2011, have around 150,000 listeners and just recently started uploading the podcast to youtube. Check it out!

The blue bike (this one picture per post is kind of lame if I have to be honest!)

You need to host your photos somewhere like Flickr or Smugmug. Then you can post up to 10.
Someone will be along with the photo posting instructional link in a few.

Welcome. will check out the video.

The one pic per post is lame. There is a way around it. You can actually post up to 10 images per post by pasting the BBCode of the image(s) that is hosted on an image hosting site like Imgur or Flickr. I've written instructions for using Imgur and linked it in my signature if you're interested.

Welcome to the site !! As you have discovered, this IS the site for everything Suzuki GS.
 
Are you sure the blue one is an '82? :-k

The black engine hints that it might be an '83, but some of us have been known to paint non-'83 engines, black, too.
Examples are in my sig for my '80, my wife's '82 and my son's '82.
