    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.

OK, so imagine its a sunny Saturday morning, not a cloud in the sky, and not a chore to be done....which one do you pick? The GS or the FZ1? Such a horrible choice to have to make. :D

The bike looks great!
 
That's one sweet looking bike. If mine looks even as half as good as that once I'm done, I'll be well chuffed.
 
Scored some really nice stock signals from Dan the "Salty Monk" man !

Congrats Joe! First rides are sweet aren't they?:)

How does the engine sound? I think those third generation 700/750 engines are very sweet, and they shift like butter. Geared nicely for the freeway too. Just plain a nice package.:)

Sounds fantastic with the V&H 4/1, has a growl similar to the Yoshi on my FZ1!

it is really nice bike, where did you get the pipe?? i want to get one for mine, do you have a part number??
 
I actually got the pipe on Ebay on a lead by Ed (Nessism) here on the board, I believe it was leftover stock, it was still in its original package.
 
Local dealer asked me to drop it off to display for the month of December...jeez and there still some rusty bolts that are showing..:o
