    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.

Just joined up yesterday. I own an 83 GS1100E and a 86 GS1150EF. Also into CBX's and old 1970's Goldwings.
I have an eclectic taste in motorcycles and got back into Suzuki's as I owned the exact same GS110E back
in the 80's.

The EF is somewhat torn down with an output shaft problem that I now have the parts for and I hope to see it
run this season. I recognize some of the members here from the CBX forums and other forums where I hang out
occasionally

Hey welcome to the forum! I grew up in Innerkip...lived in Woodstock too...went to Huron Park....maybe we know each other?
Cheers

Bought my, first brand new Susuki, an 83 GS750e from Mike Davis... :)
 
Welcome TW,

The bikes you intro'd are great! And your personality has already been vetted elsewhere. Sorry, lots of political stuff here and to read others chime in with good reviews of you speaks volumes.

Post pics please!!!

I remember Mike Davos quite well. Too bad he closed his shop and disappeared. Did lots of heavy duty partying with that crowd back
in the late 70's and 80's. I live outside of Woodstock now and have the MBS bug bad. Last count was over 40 bikes.

Not much to see yet with the 1150EF but I will get a shot of the 1100E and post it. It's been altered a bit but I have been accumulating stock parts for it. 18000 original kilometers on it, 11000 miles for the non metric crowd. I find the political stuff interesting as I have traveled heavily in the US mid west agricultural belt for my employer and find their viewpoints match mine. Us (former) farm boys think alike I guess.

Welcome twowings. You have two of my favorite Suzukis.

Yes indeed, there is something about the overall look of the 83 1100E that's just right. One of my all time favorite bikes and I was lucky to find it for only $900 Canadian. That's like $100 US funds isn't it? That black engine with the red paint just looks right. The lines flow!

Hi Steve, not surprised to see you here as we have very similar tastes in motorcycles. Retired again or still doing the work thing?

Henry, as you well know it is income tax time, so my answer to you MIGHT be different than reported to Revenue Canada. haha.

A small hi-jack.....any of you guys with local ties know anything about the cycle salvage yard "near" Innerkip?

NCK has been around this area for a while. They have moved at least three times that I know of and are now located in Woodstock at 125 Main St. I've dealt with them a few times and haven't been there in the last few years. I haven't heard about a salvage yard in Innerkip though.
 
Welcome. This is a pretty decent board, I've picked up a lot from reading it. As to the farm boy politics, in a small town cafe in Saskatchewan back in the 80's I once heard a crusty old timer say: "They should have drawn the border in a north-south line instead of an east-west one"
 
Welcome to GSR!

You will find a pretty good group of folks on this forum, with plenty of information and experience on GS series bikes.

It appears you have experience in wrenching, but almost anything you don't know can be found here:

Woodstock is where I found my GS1100GK. Carmen and I left home with a shopping list of bikes to see and Woodstock was the last stop.

The owner said he was moving to Thunder Bay in the next week and this was his last weekend before the bike had to be shipped there.

The bike was beautiful and I bought it immediately. I had a plate from my GS1100G which was bolted onto the new bike and I rode it home, with Carmen following i the car.

No regrets about that decision at all. Loved the bike. I have had lots of long rides, and just two weeks after buying it the GK delivered my first iron butt experience: over 1100 miles in one day
 
Welcome! Had to respond as I too am a southern Ontario type growing up in Galt just down the road now living in the lower mainland of bsy and expensive BC. Great bunch here on the GS website who are very knowledgeable and helpful!
