    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.

Had my bike, Muriel, from almost new. Kept it for many years but family and increased rego costs got in the way. Sold her very cheaply to a friend who was going to look after her. Break of ownership for about five years until late last year when I bought it back from a subsequent owner a little worse for wear and minus the Windjammer fairing I had on. :-) Great source of info here - many thanks. As you'll see I also ride a Cruiser and once Muriel is back up and running properly I plan to spend time on both. After 36 years in a Navy uniform I'm now out and am one of the Road Captains for the Patriots Defence Force MC Club (New Zealand) so get some miles in (well, as many as we can in little ole New Zealand...... Cheers all. Griff
 
Personally, I find that a 1000G suits me very well. The 1981 has running lights, so is a bit safer maybe, than the 1980. Congrats on getting yours back. I'm curious though, does yours have a chrome front fender and horizontal stripes on the tank? In the US we got a painted fender, and thin pin stripes on the tank, side covers, and front fender.

This is Muriel as I picked her up. You can see chrome front fender and thin pin-stripping as you've suggested above Combat. No running lights on this though. Cheers!
