    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 strange road to the gs

Thought I would relate this to you, probably someone would think it funny.

I started looking for a new machine early this year, looking in the 1k price range (don't have to much money to spend on it). I then happened upon a goldwing that was in kinda shaby condition, ready to have some TLC or some parting happen. I put a bid on it (ebay) and in the last five mintutes it got stolen out from under me. So saddened by the loss of such a nice looking bike, i searched again. Ebay had just put up a gs1100 in Idaho, so i decided to look at it. it fell into the categories that i was looking at, price, size, and every thing. I decided to put a bid on the old boy, a top bid of 700, but my hands were faster than my brain, and the mouse did not find the bid, but the "buy it now" button.

I wish that i could have seen the look on my face, white with panic and shock. In the end i decided to follow through on my mistake :D . It was about a month later that i first started to ride him. The thing that i think i will always remember about this bike is giving it full throttle in first gear, and getting the raw feeling of "what the hell have i gotten my self into." :twisted:

The only thing i would change about my experiance is the price i paid, but not the buying of the bike.
 
Wecome aboard.

Looks like you got it just in time for the riding season to start up.

actualy i got the bike back in feb. just haven't gotten anything posted here about it, and thought someone would laught at that.

but oh am i hooked.
 
Good story no matter how you look at it :)
Congrats man. If you realy enjoy the bike, then you didn't pay too much.

Now where in this planet are you located? Want to know if I have another riding buddy :)
 
There is a lot of good riding in that part of the country. I was stationed in Idaho Falls for Nuclear Power Training when I was in the Navy. I loved riding along the Salmon and going over to the Tetons.
