    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Hello members of the forum. I recently purchased my first bike, a 1988 Suzuki GS450l with 7,000 miles on it from the original owner. Just starting out riding, taking riding lessons, and practicing on my bike. Will post pics soon.
 
Welcome aboard. Please create a signature with bike info. It’s much appreciated. You’ll find it under Settings at the top of the page.

Hopefully your riding “lessons” include a Motorcycle Safety Course.

Yes we want to see pics.

Most of GS’s you’ll read about on this forum are ‘85 and older but you’ll find good info here that pertains to your bike too. Don’t be afraid to ask questions in the appropriate sub forum. Good place to start reading is the Top 10 Newbie Mistakes Thread linked in my signature.
 
Three years ago I bought a 450t with about the same milage, hadn't been tagged in 22yrs. This forum was indispensible in helping me get it up and running! Put 26k miles on it before trading it for a Goldwing in need of maintenance. It'll be worth the effort, they are bulletproof little machines once the bugs are sorted out.

Welcome to TheGSR.
Thanks for something of introduction and for picture.

Good to hear about "taking riding lessons", assuming you mean some sort of class.

PS: My name is Dave also.
And... 1970 was a significant year for me (includes senior year of highschool).
