    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and can tell there's wealth of knowledge around here!
Question: I've decided to buy an older GS between the years 1978 and 1982.I'm looking at 750-1000cc. Can anyone advise on this decision? I love the looks of this era GS but am also interested in the most reliable bike I can purchase. My mechanical knowledge can be considered 'light', but I do plan to learn as required.

Thankyou!

Hi Mr. ddeboer,

For the most part these bikes are reliable and bullet proof. Depending on initial condition they may require a lot of TLC in order to return them to this condition. You'll find a couple of lists in your "mega-welcome". These tasks are mandatory and need to be done properly. Then you will have a bike that will outlast any crotch rocket.

Anyway, I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
