    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.

FastGTO

Guest
Hello everyone! Recently picked up a 1980 gs850, and currently wrenching this beast back to life!
Im a college student studying Mechanical Engineering. I'm located in SoCal. I want to thank EVERYBODY who has contributed to this website it's helping me through all my current dilemmas!
 
You have come to the right place FastGTO. I have an 81 850 that I was restoring about 5 years ago and someone turned me on to this site. I did not join til I had it all together and running but there is enough info on this site and Basscliff's to wrench yours back to life. Fantastic members, many in your area, and we are always willing to help out. Best of luck with the restore and it will be a bonus to your studies in mechanical engineering. As I was working on mine I was constantly marveling at the engineering that went into these old bikes. Post some pics.
 
Yeah, 850's are great and all that. But I want to hear about this FastGTO as in your name...

It's winter and riding season is done for many snow belt riders -- so share the love ...:tranquillity:
 
THanks for introducing yourself some.
