    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

I All, Old/new member from Spain. :D

I am Spanish, I live in Madrid, and I have a beautiful GS1000S of 1.979, which gives me some problems. This is my first big bike and it has been with me for almost 40 years.

This is how she was:

After some restoration time, I managed to give it back its original appearance:

That bike looks great!

Good work on your part.

Welcome back.
 
Oh. My. God. That is gorgeous! I've always thought that is probably the best paint scheme on any bike ever. Love it. Thanks for sharing!!!
 
Manu,

Wow, Oh, Wow!

Tell us how you managed such a good paint recreation.

Welcome Back.

PS: On original photo, those look like GK mirrors.
(Check out the GSR GK project posting.)

Nice Job and there are several here that share your fondness towards the S. Hey, would you mind riding that bike down to Rota and take a picture of it in front of my old house?!!
 
Welcome Manu! I mean... welcome back!

What a transformation...really obscure original color but definitely a head Turner if that bike was over here in the states.

Those chrome mirrors really make that retro look compared to the other ones.

I never made it to Madrid...but was close when I spent 3 weeks in Zaragoza on a work assignment. I took my family to Rota and ventured to Sevilla and the Rock of Gibraltar. I love Spain!
