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...
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.
Nice looking group of bikes there! I was honored to have gotten to own both of those bikes for a time. So glad they went to homes where they are appreciated (and still get to spend time together!
). . I found the Cooley smoother in the corners than my ES as well.Hey Russ,
Your old Cooley has some oomph to it that's for sure! I took it for a ride recently and was quite impressed. We haven't had a drag off yet. Frank is crazier than me but I think the ES will hold its own
BTW, I just got back from the NHRA races out at Infineon (Sear's Point). Talk about fast motorcycles. Did you know Hector Arana, Sr. recently set a world speed record in Pro Stock of 6.77s on a new Kosman frame and chassis with our latest generation of bodywork? Very exciting!
I hear a bunch of us going to descend on Luckenbach for the Harvest Classic! Be quite cool to see a big representation of GSers there! And be even nicer if it was actually cool (temperature that is!).
Cheers,
Mike
Don't know if it would bring that now but it is one rare piece.
sniff...sniff...brings a tear to my eyes.
Mike I see you took the lockharts off the ES. You like it better? You could definitely feel it I thought on windy days.
You and Frank need to find a nice secluded road and both let those big boys fly. Always wondered how the 1085 S would stack up against the 1100ES.
I'll be up in you guys' neck of the woods quite often this fall for hunting season (we have a lease in johnson city) so I'll bring the '78 up and we can have some fun.
