    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.

My name is Yuriy and I am from Canada. Always liked old bikes and recently bought my first bike Suzuki 1979 GS1000E.

Used to drive bike many years ago when I was 12 year old - my granddads soviet Ural.

Bought it as project as it was not running, it starts now and upon further inspection looks like it needs more than I expected from beginning.
Have a lot of questions and parts requests in future.
 
Welcome...bike looks great!

Looks really clean & original for a 40+ yr. old bike. Congrats, welcome, & good luck.
 
Thanks. It looks way better on pictures than actually is. Too many hands were in it. Exhaust rotted, so looks like I am not keeping it. Like to work on it with my hands and have some money to invest in it to make it drive and look how I like.

No plans to drive it this year, so I hope it will fine
 
Congrats, Yuriy, good looking bike! I am finishing getting my GS1100GK ready for the road.

Learned a lot by going through every system of the bike, replacing every piece of rubber from tires, brake lines to O-rings, checking every electrical connection etc.
