    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.

I can tell you that there really isn't any place in the Dallas area, that I know of, that has a mechanic that wants to touch these old machines. Every one I've ever heard about always had really bad feedback based on the time they'd take to perform a repair and the amount of money charged 8) (I should start a business) 8) . The more you can do yourself - the better off you'll be. Find yourself an original Suzuki service manual and dig in! Now tires and other misc. aftermarket purchases can be made at several different places - my preferrence is Bates discount cycles, their located at I35 and Valwood parkway (just north of 635).

Not familiar with Dallas, but on the "better" side of the Metroplex(Ft. Worth) there is one shop that I trust and they are very familiar with older bikes especially GS's and that is Mid-Cities Cycle located on East Belknap, Ft. Worth.

The "better" side of the Metroplex ... I guess it's a good thing that I live north of both!! 8)
