    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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...

  • 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.

Went on the first group ride of the season with a bunch of buddies from work.

Leader was riding double on a BMW K1300 ?
Yamaha R6, then me on my 83GS1100e, Silverwing, M109, VTX, and a Harley Nightester.

We did the WNC ride minus the Deals gap. Maggie Valley, Cherrokee, Sylva, 28 to Franklin :D, Highlands, Cashiers, Toxaway, Saphire valley, Brevard, Ceasar's Head SC, DuPont forest, then back across 276 to parkway and then to Haywood County.

RAR stand for Red A$$ Ride... I did get a little sore even with the corbin seat!

The GS held it's own against the R6 and BMW throught the twisties on 28 throough the Cullasaja Gorge! I had a blast after I got some confidence up in the curves. I did scrape twice :eek: .

I forgot my camera but did have my video camera running on a mount I made that attatches to the headlight bracket. Will post up some vids of the twisties.

Cullasaja Gorge and highway 28 are AWESOME. Very well banked curves and clean, unbroken pavement. I logged a little over 250 miles.

Not a hitch with the GS!
