    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.

Picked up a 1979 GS425E today. This bike is something of a joint venture fix and flip with a friend of mine. We did a fairly thorough inspection before buying and i think we made out alright. It even starts without much effort! (This is a first for me as I've never bought a bike that runs.) the goal here is to spend as little as we can bit atill make the bike somewhat more presentable and sellable.
Pics to come. It's a little difficult from my phone.
 







of course tonight would be the night my camera flash craps out
 
Thanks! Yeah it looks good from 5 feet lol but it's got tsome blemishing like the exhaust headers are pretty rusty, missing left side cover (which if anyone has an extra in the right color i'd be more than happy to buy it) and something is bent in the front end. We realized some things were scratched and bent indicating a crash but didn't think to look down the forks for straightness relative to handlebars and sure enough, the wheel is cocked a couple degrees to the left. Luckily there's a front end minus wheel and brake on ebay so i think that's as good as fixed.
Progress will be slow at first, if any for a little while due to personal issues and also i need to finish getting my 1000G back together to make room in the shop.
