    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.

  • 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 at all,
my name is tammo. home?s location is northern germany near bremen.
I'am the owner of a gsx750ex with a katana 750s engine (R701...), three
cx500 from honda and a motoguzzi sp1000 from also the 80's. Last one is
waiting for an update after sleeping for more than a decade of years in an
old garage. Sometime before I had a 1990 suzi gs500 . I sold when i got the wreck
of the gsx to have some place more to rebuild.
Ok, that's today.

I'am "heavy" retired by recalling my old 40 year old english memories.:o
Sorry for the rusty english of mine
:cool:

Welcome Tammo to GS Resource. Beautiful looking motorcycle, I love the European colors and body styles. Be sure to take pictures of your motorcycle and countryside while out riding. 👍
 
Welcome tammo! What a sweet looking bike! Lurking is like standing in the doorway so it's great you decided to walk through, so to speak.
Is that pic of the bike that slept for ten years? It looks fantastic, like it was in a vacuum sealed chamber.

Yes, please do take photos of the area and bike to share. I personally have fond memories of Southern Germany. As a young child, in the late 70's we lived near Frankfurt and visited places like Munich and Heidelberg.

There is a google earth map that many other GSR members are on if you'd like to see how many are near you.

Hey,
Thank you for friendly welcome to . I will try to shoot some photo's while riding to show you the
Country i am living in.of course only when having stop-times. :D
Yes the gsx also stood some years inside an old barn. Rust and broken and electrical damages all about.
I had built about more than a year .dislayed (?)to each screw. And then restored piece by piece.
When i will have found pics -i knew i have- i insert right here.

Welcome!
Agreed on the gorgeous machine. Like Storm said, I dig the euro paint schemes, and the big gas tank.
Looking forward to more pics.
 
GERMANY....Ah, what a great place!

GERMANY....Ah, what a great place!

Welcome Tammo,

Already I like your intro/pic/background so a Big Welcome to you!

It's almost like deja vu...I've seen a bike similar to yours posted here before. Maybe it's the brick driveway and the bushes in the background that stimulate my mind. Your English is fine and I like deciphering your explanations...I couldn't write in German let alone speak it so my hats off to you for learning to write in English.

Moar pics please! (I spelled "more" incorrectly but it's pronounced the same way) You know how the English language is with several words sounding the same but spelled differently. Enjoy your way around the GSR and if you wanna join the "Looney Farm", ask for permission to enter the Off Topic area known as the "Vortex". It could corrupt your mind but don't say I didn't warn you! :rolleyes:;):D

Hey again,
thank you all for responding to my first post on this website. next time i load up some
pics from my machines. in german we used to say in "beloved slang" : mopped.
Ok i will following the wishes for more pics.
And btw : ed you`re rightly in "It's almost like deja vu...I've seen a bike similar to yours posted here before".
i think so two years ago (?) an englishman :rolleyes: nigel l. built up a gsx1100et but 17 inches wheels and other
changed components. indeed he had the same colour - combination and pics were shown here in this forum (?)
I found the story of work in a german gazette .there i saw this lovely orange - black pairing.
i was damned to get this paintwork.;)
Ok ,trying now some pics and i have to work again.
greets
Tammo

Or is it just the garage lighting?

Edit: was referring to picture before disassembly, cross posts happened.

Also welcome and sweet looking bike.

Try using imgur instead of uploading directly to this forum, it works quite well for me. Others use photobucket, but in my opinion it's not as good outside NA.

Both will automatically generate the correct BBCode to embed the pictures in your posts.

Paint looks very nice, did you re-paint it?
 
Oh, and did you peen the engine by yourself? I'm at the research stage to do it by myself at some point.

Hey,tnx trevor.i think i shall look for a pic-uploader.
Also i hold in memory the tip from roeme . Both like swinging doors towards a better forum's world :cool:
 
And yes to roeme :i ordered an original Made paintwork in great brit. Had been obvisiually a little Bit older. So i Had to restore some points of the onlayed Gold colour.
I tried to peen the Engine by myself. But the air compressor Made thick eyes.so i went to a professional "glass blower "
For the first i get off now.
