    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.

    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.

Teknic Stinger jacket from newenough

Okay, I had four motorcycle jackets (Vanson all-perf leather, Hein Gericke non-vented leather, Teknic Hurricane and a Joe Rocket Phoenix). I wore the Phoenix a little one summer before I got the Vanson, then stopped wearing it (redundant). The Teknic I only wore when it was really cold. Mostly, I just wore the Vanson in summer and Hein Gericke when it got cool. But I wanted a ? length jacket???.

So, a couple weeks ago, I ordered a Teknic Stinger from newenough.com. In usual fashion, they had it at my door in two or three days. Regular price was $239, but they had a few sizes ? including 46, mine ? on closeout at $79.

This thing is great. It?s snug ? really a perfect fit, but I suspect you can?t have much of a belly for it. It?s advertised as a 2/3 length jacket and feels perfect on the bike. Construction is very solid, armor doesn?t shift, it has lots of pockets???..very warm too. There is a removable liner and some decent-looking vents, so I think it?d be okay in warmer weather, but I wasn?t looking for that.

Looks like they only have red/black in 44 and red/black, blue/black and silver/black in 46, but if that?s your size, this is a great deal.
