    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.

Should I buy this?

DSP,

Again, the bike looks to be in great all stock condition, which is rare. Is worth the asking price. Lesser bikes have sold for more.

Dont want to start an "L" verse a "G" argument. Sit on it, see how you fit. If you like the bike, get it. Can change the bars later if your arms are too bent and it is too tireing for you on longer distance. Ah, heck, you are young, you can deal with it. Get that bike.

What part of the country, in general, are you located? Folks here can tell you where there might be a GS get-together in your part of the country.

Correction - you gotta make you one of those things. And please, make it out of a new rug. Not a used one you might find at a yard sale.

Laugh all you want. When we go riding one hot summer day and the bikes have been in the sun, you'll have the burning @ss.

I used to make these out of sheepskin, but this is much better (and cheaper). Incredibly more comfortable than your pants on hot vinyl.

Plus, the stock original seat lasts pretty much forever due to the protection from the sun's rays.

Look at the guys who do Iron Butt Rallies and such - they all sit on a towel, a sheepskin, etc. Sheepskin eventually gets hard like cardboard and towels move around. My invention is washable and fits the bike like OJ's glove should've fit his hand.

It breathes and so my butt never sweats from sitting on non-breathing vinyl on long drives.

Mock my handiwork all you like. You shall be forever doomed to suffer from an incurable and terminal case of monkey butt.

I wasn't laughing - I think it's a very novel & practical idea...
 
I am the person who asked for your stats

I am the person who asked for your stats

I am not going to bash any GS ever but in my young opinion you should be looking for a 1980 to 1983 gs 1100e better riding stance for your size more sporty better handling and still in that same price range a gs 1150 is also a great bike you can buy all kind of parts for them still that is just my opinion thanks anthony
