    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.

Sorry guys its been fun but I sold the GS in favor of a VTX1300.

whoa it took some practice getting used to that beast . ( all 670 lbs of it)

Anyway the gs was a great learning experience but finances dictate that i couldn't keep both. I sold it localy on craigslist to a kid who was a little shakey but should pick it up in no time. He also appreciated the advanced mods done to the GS and for that i was happy to give him a deal. I also gave him this web site. No doubt you'll be hearing from him.

As an added bonus, he's a tattooist ( artist)so he threw in a couple of tats with the deal. This will be my and the wifes first tattoos and at our advanced ages, we had nothing to lose. Bungy jumping is next.

Actually the wife had started to express more and more of an interest in riding hence the decision to go with the honda. With the tat , she'll be a full blown biker broad.

Keep the road in the middle.
 
here's a pic for anyone who hasn't seen it

well Ron the decision was made more by price than by any particular model. I had been looking for some time , mostly at 800"s. although a friend suggested that a bigger bike might be better for additional riders.

The VTX came up in a local newspaper after I had done a 5 state lookup on craigslist and e-bay over several months. Sometimes things just fall into place. The guy was in a bind and sold it for KBB trade-in value. Its an 03.

I found out later about the massive torque, single pin crank etc...(assorted rattles) etc...

The gs was quicker and more nimble around town but boy can that VTX cruise. Maybe i'll pick up another one (GS ) in the future. Untill then i'll wish the new kid all the luck he can muster.

One things for sure, i won't be stripping this one down for awhile.
 
you can still come by and keep in touch, that's a nice GS you made. have fun with the VTX, and it probably won't be too long till you try another project bike!!
