    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.

As some of you might have known that I bought my first bike in the spring of 08 (82 650G). I was out so much with my best friend and his uncle riding the rest of the year, my dad went out and bought his first bike in 20+ years (74 Honda CB 350) the next year. It was nice to ride with my dad, even if his bike wouldn't keep up with me. I kept tellin my dad that he should have bought a bigger bike, but he didn't listen to me. So in this past fall, he told me he wanted a bigger bike. I've been hunting around for a while and didn't find one he liked. I had to head out of town for while for work (still not home) and had to stop looking. I checked my email a lil while ago and he sent me a message that he just won a 78 GS550 located in TN. :D I'm real happy that my dad is gettin a bigger bike and I'm gonna welcome him to the wonderful world of the GSR forum. Hope to have a pic of the bike soon.
 
now you gotta keep up with him :D... awesome story, thanks for sharin'
 
So I got an email today from my dad. Here's what he wrote:

"So I took my 550 out for a few rides this past week. What a difference! My old CB 350 was like driving grandma's Escort. My 550 is like driving mom's Sebring. I'm glad you talked me into upgrading to a bigger bike."

Now I just need to get home and ride with my dad and borther in law (00 honda shadow). Only 54 more days.
 
It's great that you and your Dad have a chance to connect with each other like that.

So, will he be pulling wheelies up and down the road now? :D

Hey! I love analogy questions...Let's see:

If a CB350 is to an Escort as a GS550 is to a Sebring, then the ________ is like a Corvette.

OK guys...fill in the blank...


BTW: very cool story about Dad. Have a great time riding together when you get home.
