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.

Thanks...I saw an ad for an '82 GK 125 miles from me. Pictures not great, so I sent an email to the owner for more information and better pics. Just wondering what I need to know if I get serious enough to make the trip.
What's his asking price? And as the others have said, check the road ready bikes for sale forum here.

Just like any other bike, look at tire age (by looking at the DOT date code on the sidewall), ask about brake maintenance, oil change, valve adjustment, carb rebuild.
On the GK, make sure that ALL of the locks take the same key. Note that there are 12 or 13 locks.
Because it's an '82, ask if the splines in the rear wheel have been changed.
Take a voltmeter, check the charging voltage.
Look at the electrical connectors around the fusebox for discoloration and general condition.
Check battery age.
All of those issues have already been addressed on the bike I gave you a link to in post #2.

Thank you gentlemen! He's asking $1300, but as it's October in Montana and I think it could be had quite a bit cheaper.
