But not to the old board. Good to see some familiar names.

GRADONA! [space] I haven't heard your Name in QUITE a while.

Most excellent to see........well........I mean..... to hear from...you again. [emoji106]

As I recall...your Board Name was a composite of yours and your wife's names...is it not?

Welcome aboard!

Yes, Designer, Gra for Grant and Dona for Donna. Sadly Donna has been gone 10 years now but she is still a big part of me.

Welcome back. I do remember that handle. I was Paul on the old board but have been old a long time. See you are a wealthy man with a beamer!

Most Beemer riders have spent their wealth on their beemers.

Oh my! I didn't know she had passed! [space] I am sorry if my mentioning this brought up any sad things.

I meant no harm....I was just recalling past conversations on the Purple Board with you and how you included her in your Board Name.

I thought it was neat! [emoji106]

Welcome aboard

Welcome Gradona.... I remember you from the IA board.......
I was Suzuki 1400 02 on the purple board

.almost the same set up here except we have more choices and much better admin's.. [emoji106]

New Here, I had a really nice 1993 Suzuki Intruder 800 for about 8 yrs, Just sold it this
summer, . And finally got a 1400 what a difference like going from a Cavaliar to a
Cadilac,. My name is Keith,. I live outside of Pittsburgh Pa,.I purchased the 1400
earlier this summer. And just got it finished last wk,.

Welcome keges335 A lot of us here had 1400s .Only put 45,000 on mine before trading it for a 36Ford pu. It was a real good bike but for the so bad cold weather starting or lack of. Post often and have fun.

Welcome aboard Keges335!

Seems like the 1400 starts hard, And you need a lot of cranking amps on a battery,.Also
how do you post pics on here,.?

Below 30 starts were main reason I traded my 1400. Many times took my Harley with 20-50 oil because the 1400 with 10-40 would not start.Lots will give you ways to help but the Suzuki rep gave up on mine under warranty after they never got it to start 20 or below if out all night. Lots will tell you they have one that starts any time? Got more calls from people with a 1400 telling me they need help getting it to start in the 30s. Rolling it back in gear till won't move then in netural seemed to help a little. Unlike my old Virago they do not roll start good at all.

SADI don't remember my username on the old board. too many bikes and usernames!

Great to see you.

Glad you made it.
