Updates on my site
March 2004

Here follows the list of the new or updated stuff on my site. I try to keep this page up to date and write here every update on My Suzuki Pages that might interest you.

March 3:I have had much less spare time lately than I used to have during 2002 and 2003, that's why I haven't updated my site as frequent as in the past. Please keep on sending me material so I can fill out the gaps (but don't be upset if it takes a month or two before it actually ends up on the site, I have been busy with earning my living. This is just a hobby that cost me money, not the opposite). New page: RM100 sales brochures ('78 brochure from USA, single page). Updated pages: RM100 model history ('78 picture and some specs.

March 26:There will be no updates on my site for a few days. Unfortunately I have to move my site to another host. The traffic to my site has grown so enormously that the host I use for the moment wants to charge me big money for the heavy traffic. I found another web hotel that allows heavier traffic for lower cost. So I decided to move. Unfortunately I’m still stuck with a slow dial modem connection to the Internet so moving all the files to another server will take me several days. During that time I won’t be updating this site. Note that the move won’t affect you, the domain name remains the same and you will probably (hopefully) notice any difference. See you!

March 30:I have done moving now. By the time you found to this page the domain name must be pointing to the new server and everything should work ok. As I had to upload all the files to the new server anyway, I went through all the links sitewide and found a few photo links that were not working before.

I also removed my e-mail address from the pages and put it on a single page. It is there in a picture form only no spammer's robots should find it. I also changed the e-mail address. This I made because of the massive attacks from spammers, I could not live anymore with the enormous amount of junk mail. Please change the e-mail address to your address books if you have kept contact with me earlier.

You can find the page with the e-mail address here. I also wrote something about the most frequently asked questions I receive and some guidelines for people sending me scans and bike pictures.

New visitors' Suzuki pictures ('80 GS850GL, '84 GS750ES, '78 GT125).

March 31: New visitors' Suzuki pictures ('78 GS750E, '74 RL250, '72 AC50). The name server is changed now and the URL www.suzukicycles.org is pointing to this server now (it was changed just a few minutes ago, about quarter to four in the morning, Swedish time). Welcome!

I do not longer brag here about the amount of visitors I get to my site. Instead there's a counter at the bottom of every page with text contest (at least it should be there, for some reason it wasn't there the last time I looked) telling the actual page views. I stopped following it myself after the counter was close to three million page views.

Sometimes I get mail from people who complain that their favorite model is not on my site. In many cases they haven't even bothered to look properly or used the search engine. But there are still some models missing. I'm doing my best and will fill in the gaps as fast as I can. This is not my profession; I'm doing this in my spare time. I could use some help to be able to get more things done. Please send me pictures, brochures and specs – or complete model histories... Anything at all that can make the site more complete. Here's more info of how you can contact me.

One more thing: PLEASE visit the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) pages before sending me questions about your bikes, manuals etc. I would love to help you all but I haven't got enough time or knowledge to do that — perhaps you can find an answer to your question on the FAQ pages? Here's the link: Frequently Asked Questions
