    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.

    zrx12 vs gs1150

    he did have at least 50 lbs on me but he also had a motor that was in the 150hp range vs my 130 hp . the 20 extra hp should offset the 50 lbs rider diffence no? That GS in the video is the same GS I owned for 18 years. I built the motor the first time and star racing freshened it up before...

We were up in Maine at an 1/8th mile track. I show up with my touring set up and set the bike up for the race. Listen...

    zrx12 vs gs1150

    Do not under estimate the ZRX and its drag strip potential. I ran my ZRX against another GSR members GS1150E in 2004 . His 1150E was far from stock. It was 1229CC had cams, 38 mikuni flat slides, cam motion g-2 cams , mild head porting, and over sized valves. Dyna coils and ignition and a Vance...

    Maine to Florida and back, end of April, beginning of May

    8 to 10 day trip? Most likely you wont make two 800 mile days with four people, and that will put you at the three day each way mark . Now you only have 2 to four days down there, and chances are you will be exhausted your first day. I say trailer down take turns driving,and get there in one...

    Oregon Coast to Maine in June of '09

    If you want to make good time and get to Maine early, adjust your riding schedule so you are on the road way before 5AM. The lack of traffic in the early am hours helps you get ahead of schedule, When the sun rises and you are already on the road you get a boost of adrenaline that will carry you...

    Tell us about your illegal street race

    Here is another story from my past with my GS1150E When I bought the 1150 I started going back to the dealer to buy my " hop up" stuff. I knew the owner of the dealership and they gave me fair prices. I was looking into the Dyna coils, and he told me about one of his customers that just bought...
