    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.

Who have YOU refered GSResourse forums to?

(Not sure if I'm in the right area for this. Move it if it needs to be.)

I met a guy pulling into a Burger King while I was on my bike today. He was driving an `82 GS650. We got to talking and he said this was his first bike in many years.
I told him he should check this site out for awesome technical info as well as $ saving tips on stuff you can do yourself instead of taking it to a bike shop.
I know I'm guaranteed a spot in heaven now. :)

Just tell him to avoid the OT section, otherwise you may lose your spot in heaven....:rolleyes:
 
sold my 80/81 1000L, can't remember which, and sent an email with 'all' the internet links (cliffs, GS, Z1, ect...) I've met a couple GS people here and there and always share the GSresource love.
 
Guy was selling parts for my year/model bike but he didn't have what I needed. Told him about this place though but haven't seen if he's joined up yet or not.
 
i mentioned it to a couple guys i talk to riding gs's and a couple looking for parts (never met them ones tho)
 
Referred a mechanical shop or two here since they had customers who rode GS's and I wanted to make sure that they were getting the right kind of GS lovin'.

Also referred(by leaving a card) a gent who had his '80? GS 850 up for sale on a sidestreet here in town. He was trying to sell it for waaay too much moola.
 
I've made three referrals, two have showed up.
One to the guy I sold my 550 to (jonshrader)
One to a guy I randomly met while he was working on his GS (chuck c)
One to a guy in town when I saw his 650 sitting in his driveway in need of attention. I don't think he's shown up.
 
To a cute woman riding a GS550 I met at the Brooklyn Holeshot bike show. She has a boyfriend though :rolleyes:
 
In last 2 -3 years I have left GSR cards on 4 or 5 GSes that I have found parked here and there. One bike I saw again a year later and talked to the rider on that occassion, who said he still had the card, and has looked at the site once.

And in addition to those 4 or 5, I have talked directly to 3 or 4 others that were at the bike and I gave them cards also (one just last weekend).

As far as I know, have not noticed that any of them has shown up here.
I know, ...I know, ...you might say that I should take a hint.

But then again, I would not recognize them unless they posted and specifically said something lIke:
Some goofy guy was following me down the street and pulled into same parking lot and gave me a card that said he was "Redman", and he wanted to talk to me about the bike, and, Man, did his wife look annoyed.

I have left a few cards on bikes, too, including one nice-looking 850 that is on the way to my sister-in-law's place.
Mrs. Steve was wondering why I pulled off into a parking lot, but understood as soon as I pointed out the bike.

Haven't heard anything from the owner of the bike, though. :-k
