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...
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.
Earlier this week I took some vacation days and spent them with Joe Nardy in the Smoky Mountains. alke46 even joined us for a day. What a great place to ride. So many curvy mountain roads. As usual, I didn't take many pictures. But, here are the ones I did take:
At one point we stopped for lunch at Deal's Gap Resort. The restaurant ceiling is covered in t-shirts from all over the place. Joe mentioned that there is a GSR shirt up there somewhere. He found it and pointed it out to me. Looks like it's been up there since 2005. Don't know if you can see it, but it's covered in signatures. Is your signature up there?
Here's a picture of my bike parked alongside Joe's in his garage, and my 2 favorite Killboy pictures on 129 over the mountain.
And, for something unusually different, we did a touristy thing and visited Clingman's Dome. It's the highest point in Tennessee. To get there we suffered through heavy, slow traffic, and hiked half a mile to the observation deck. The hike clearly demonstrated how out of shape I am. But we were rewarded with amazing views at the top. You can see 100 miles in any direction. Absolutely lovely.
Visting with Joe is always a good time and the roads around his home are a real motorcycle playground. Can't wait to go back.
