    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.

    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.

    New Forum Member and Questions Regarding My "New" 83 GS850L

    Having been on larger machines, I've shied away from Shinko, Kenda, Chen Shing, etc. I've come to trust Metzler and Avon. My one V-Twin, an 03 Sportster, had Dunlops and they steered like a turd. Switching to Metzler 880's on that machine nearly doubled the lean and maneuverability. I've never...

    Hello. I am Jay, in Knoxville. I've been riding just over 20 years and have had over a dozen different machines during that time. My 2nd bike was a dogged out 79 GS550 that I continued to dog for about 2 years until it died. Many years and bikes later, I now have a bit more knowledge...
