    A note to new registrants...
    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.

The link Wes posted to reddit has some great conversation already. Funny, some thought he was an impostor.

Wes, does this happen often, people saying they're you? Apparently, some around here wanted to be you. :-\\\

Edit: I was just thinking I actually wanted to be Jim Morrison at one time, LoL

hello. thank you all for the warm reception.
I'm doing the AMA thing at 10:00 in the morning on thursday, jan 4.
Here's a link to a conversation I had over there: https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/7l527g/wes_cooley_here/

I'm learning all this social media with the help of another rider so be patient please.
I don't ride on the street any more but I do get to events like Barber, MidOhio, Timaru and in March, I'm headed out with Freddie to another one.
thanks again.

That was pretty good (Reddit), there were only a couple of fruit-loops!
 
Dear Wes Cooley

Do note that I personally don't come from a time where I remember you racing... Probably because when you won your first championship my father was just finishing up middle school.
Anyway, I want to welcome you aboard to this forum. As you may get that some of us (myself in this group) grew up naive to how imperative your victories were to the development and evolution of the motorcycles we love today. I know how your works and victories with Yoshimura influenced the evolution of the "GS" sport bike to the eventual refinement of the GSX-R line that it is today. Those first steps you took while racing those UJMs were the very first down a path of what eventually would become the modern Japanese super sport bikes of today.
So in that regard I'm honored and thankful to have you on board with us.
My 2 cents about GSR; while navigating this mess of convoluted ideas and personal opinions (in some extreme cases are more important than yours), be sure to grab the table salt before sitting down on your computer, you'll need a pinch or two to make it through, at times. So FYI... (liquor helps too:rolleyes:)
We do have some phenomenal folks on here and I strongly urge you to try to make it to your local (or any) GSR meet. GSR is great because it's active members are great. Many of whom i would consider family... There is a great network of folks here and I encourage you to reach out to as many folks as you can!
So Welcome!!!!
Thanks so much for joining
THE GS RESOURCES
We look forward to your contribution!



FYI this was my computer background at my office for the longest time until i got a picture of my self looking better ;)

Welcome aboard Wes!

Now,can you get Don Sakakura to come on board to give some tech advice?
 
Don't they look alot alike ;) maybe you should have a talk with you mom Trevor..........just sayin'
 
I used to be an active member here, when I had two GS's and lived in the States, but I still check in every now and then. And sometimes when I do I never know what to expect, so today when I saw Wes Cooley is now a member, wow! What a pleasant surprise, I remember reading bike racing articles in the late 70's and not all that long ago searching out some of Wes's bike racing on You Tube. And every now and then Wes could post something here about "pulling" the trigger on a new bike. Well, I think this site and Wes Cooley are a good match, and to the GS1000, which Wes brought to fame in Daytona. The '78 GS1000E I bought in early '79 in Alaska was my first superbike and will probably always be my favorite. It had good bones! Wes proved it!

But then to see Trevor back, I thought I was seeing things, I mean his little green light is usually on when I visit but no new posts, but today was different. Welcome back Trevor!

Thanks Steve, good to hear from you as well my friend. :)
I'm just staying out of the vortex...it really seems to have taken over the forum...pretty bad when two moderators do most of their own posting in the vortex. Oh well...my life is better without it.
Cheers
 
Thanks to Steve for replying to this thread. It is amazing how things work out. We do appreciate Trevor here...at least I can say, I do as well as several other Canadian members and a few Americans here.

You can always get another GS Steve...but where you are living gives you other options. Good to read you posting periodically.


Ed
