    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.

Negative. Even if I did, I wouldn't want to put someone else in the line of fire in case anything was questioned. It's easier (and more honarable???) to just drive illegaly. ;)

Allright, I guess I can understand your honerableness....maybe this is why I can't hang on to friends. :oops: I would've let you borrow mine though if we lived in the same state. Glad to hear she's running though.
 
Passed Inspection Today!!!

Passed Inspection Today!!!

MD State Inspection is in hand! Woooohoooo!!!! \\:D/

Final step will be to get permanent tags at the MVA. With any luck I won't need it, but it is the state government, so I'll be packing an extra change of patience for the task. ;)
 
Registration Complete!

Haven't really posted any complete pics, so here's one of a few that I took on Memorial Day. Enjoy!

 
Just wanted to say great pics, mine is a 1983 GS550E, looks exactly the same , i rebuilt my carbs everything is brand new all jets etc, however i have the same problem with the idle, my plugs look clean they are the hotter ones D8EA, i posted a thread with the details in the hopes we can both solve this problem.
 
Damn I wanted The ES and not my L but had to settle for the bike that was 500 dollars cheaper when new.

While it's true that I was lucky to get a pretty well kept bike, it's not without it's blemishes and it could use a bit more TLC here and there. However, it ain't half bad. :-D
 
Gses + gsxr

Gses + gsxr

So i recently got one of these GS550es bikes, I love it the riding position is fun but not so aggressive you don't want to stay on it all day. I have a chance to pick up a 88 GSXR 750 that has frame damage. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck or even tried putting the older GIXXER 750 engines in one of these. I have seen the suspension swap over for the 17" wheels and that's in my plans as well. But if any one has done deeper GIXXER upraded ES mods i would love to hear about them.
