    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.

We love you too Ron. You are one of the GS siblings and I am so glad to hear about your bike going. I agree about the wife part. I do a lot of stuff with my girl and those moments become long term happy memories. Enjoy the ride (with and without her) and be safe.
 
Glad you got it running and didn't give up!:)
I too know the feeling of going from total frustration to sheer ecstacy.

If you would have sold it and someone posted here how it was fixed you would have cried. I felt like parting mine out one time because of a silly problem but two days later I just went about fixing it and overall it was not bad. These are tough bikes and there are good reasons why so many are still around and looking good. I don't see that many old hondas or kawasakis that are as durable as the venerable GS

you said a mouthful there.I agree with you 100%.My brother inlaw who fancies himself as a mechanical whiz said 'it was just a head gasket' grrrrrrr.
 
Ron, people will snipe at you. Ignore them!!! You know what was wrong and if they don't like that the tough!!!

Well done for keep on going and getting her running. Glad we could have been of some help even if we couldn't all be there.

Now get out there and enjoy.....

Slow, but good. New rubber pieces for the cam idler have taken a while to get here. Then I got sidetracked prepping the head and block for new paint. I just can't leave well enough alone. LMAO.
