    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.

  • 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.

not in my neighborhood - but he took it home last night.

Friday-24th is the night we have planned for the maiden voyage at GLD!!

I'm predicting a high 9 sec just sub 10 number - the gearing is not where I'd like it to be. no locking device in the clutch chest. - yet
 
I'll be watching for the results. Curt we should meet and have a race before the snow hits.
 
Amx,
I had a bunch of little things to attend to, but am hoping to rip up the back lot tomorrow. The bars are set at 5 inches so, I need to remedy that.
Sprout,
I will be going to the track on Thursday for a couple shakedown runs. Then pack your stuff and meet me in Union Grove. And away we go...
Ray,
I know I will need one soon. Its awful nice of you to donate one!! I think Trip has one extra also... I will get some video hopefully by the weekend...
Trip did an outstanding job of wiring and fabricating and all the other things that had to be done. I think I am going to send them to the islands for a vacation.
Curt
 
Set the bars, check for cohones, and we go...

Very nice bike you guys put together there! I finally have an 81 GS 1100 that will be my bracket bike. It's mostly stock except for V&H pipe, K&N's and a re jet. I have a friend that's a pro mechanic giving it a going over to make sure it's track worthy. If I did it I'd get too anxious and skip important stuff to get it out on the strip! In the next week or so I'll be at the Grove for some T&T and plan to enter the ET class at Byron for the last 2WheelSpeed event in September. I certainly hope I finally get a chance to meet a few of you...Like you, I hope the Fall lasts 'til after Christmas!
It looks to me like you're using stock GS wheels... What kind of tires are you using? I need to use the stock wheels at least for the time being and I need skins and any suggestions on what works would be appreciated.
Good luck with that beast!
 
The back is a gsxr 5.5 inch wide wheel with a 7 inch slick. I was using a 5.5 inch on a widened stock rim. The front is I think a GS550 wheel with a Goodyear slick. Trip has a wheel that will work and if you need the slick, we can work something out. I will be sticking with the 7 inch so the slick is available... The front is not so important. Skinny works the best. I might have a setup for you in that area also... What area do you live in? If you need to talk, 847-334-1688... Hope to see you at the Grove. We will be going Thursday coming up...
Curt
 
I live on the NW side of the city between Elmwood park and Harwood Heights. I won't be able to be at the Grove this Thursday because I'm out of town for the Antique Motorcycle club doings in Davenport and then down to Springfield for the Saturday and Sunday flat track...You may recall we had a chat in posts last Fall...I've been watching the GS forum to see how you've been doing... I like your new bike and wish you the best.
I'd like to get the chance to meet you and the others from the area. I've had brief conversations with a few others who come on here as well on this and other forums. This is getting too long...I'll give you a call after the holiday and we'll get a chance to meet in the real world soon, I'm sure.
Ride & race safe!
 
Tim will have his schnitz box for testing tomorrow, I'll be there rooting for 200 MPH for him and for 140 for you .

Chief Blackhawk weekend is such a hoot! the redline boys need a guide for Davenport west end - So I'm going too

My stock 1150 did a 12:51 @ 105 haha going thru the traps in 3rd gear


Have you inspected your clutch yet Bellucci? :hand: do it any way
 
How was your evening at the 'Grove on Thursday? Will you be out there again soon?
 
Going tomorrow since its supposed to snow next week... That should wake everyone up... We will be going Thursday eve. Trip is helping a buddy with a 200 mph bike and I will be aiming at 140. More important is consistency in the 9.30 range... Come on up if you can...
Curt
 
Interesting night... track got oiled by a trans leak. 90 min cleanup. I launch and bend both struts. Wheelie bar wheels end up 8 inches off the track...
