Post by: Wanderer on Friday, 08 June 2018, 10:08 PM
Hi Guys returning member here.  I was one of the very 1st owners of a GSX 1400 back in 2002 and still have the bike tho a lot's changed on it. I was at the very 1st owners meeting at the brum bike museum with Gnome and others I cant put a name on now.  I go by the handle of Wanderer -1st name Paul i'm on the south coast but soon to relocate to Wales -for personal reasons :/ So anyone who wants to get in touch from here or south wales feel free :)

At least you've joined and said hello as it's quite uncommon thesedays . :frustrated:
There are a few members not to far from you so I'm sure they'll say hello and might even meet up for runs or a beer .
:cheers:

Thx for the welcomes guys this is about the 5th reincarnation of the site ive joined. When i finally land in Wales the local boys will have to show me around cos im gonna be sat-nav charly for a while till I get my bearings.
Have found a good bike repairers just up the road from where im intending to be "Garn Motorcycles" good bunch there had a coffee chat an a look round last week after checking the house out again.
Things could also go tits up very easily so nothings set in stone yet but ill try to keep the faith an things might work out........

Hi Trevor, you best bet would be to send a PM to Stan (Globalrider) he's in Vancouver BC & would know everything that's involved.

You should just be able to go to his profile and see a button to send a pm
Its below his picture and the add as a buddy.

Then same as posting in this box
And send .
I've never seen security questions sending pm's.

That's how I did it...but there are security questions....I just kept answering incorrectly until questions came up that I knew the answers to....lol Thanks

Hmmm, I wonder if instead of sending a message you were actually ammending Stans profile?  That would involve security questions.   Dave will know.

@trevorf

Hmm there should be no security questions for sending PMs, once at least one post has been made in the forum.  Nobody else has ever mentioned it so perhaps it's something to do with your profile or computer or something. 

If you are still having the problem, please PM me with as much relevant information as you can, and I'll happily look into it further.  Cheers

ha ha I just realised that I said if you are having problems with PM's just PM me. D'oh !

If you are still having dramas - start a thread in the "Test Zone and Problem Reporting" section, using the prefix 'Report' from the drop down menu when you are posting, and we'll help you sort it out.

Cheers

Welcome Wanderer. I can't recall you name but I was also one of the initial members of the 1st org. I've had 1400's for going on 17 years now with continued membership of the various orgs but I don't think there's too many on here from that time.
