    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • 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.

Permatex work gloves

For about 5 bucks you can get a pair of rubberized blue work gloves by Permatex. These are a cheap variant of Mechanix Gloves and are pretty handy.

What are they good for? Keeping your hands clean and cut free. I am in the middle of pulling a gearbox out of a VW Golf and I did not have to remove these gloves once to undo anything. It is definately worth keeping these things in the back of your bike for any maintenance issues you may run into out on the road. They'll keep your hands clean so that you don't soil the insides of your riding gloves before you get a chance to wash your hands.

What are they not good for? Changing engine oil and filters. They soak up oil through the open backs and the heat of the oil filter is still uncofmortable through the gloves. Once the rubber gets covered in oil or fresh grease the "stickiness" of the material is gone and you have less grip than a dog running on a skating rink.
