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 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.

    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.

I have to agree with that. I still have the 03 B12s I bought in 04 with a thousand miles on it. It only has two glaring faults. 1, it's 100 lbs too heavy and, 2. it's top heavy as Hell.

I agree Trevor. I had a 2002 model for 8 years and it was bulletproof and a blast to ride...
 
Had a special Thursday afternoon safety meeting last week because we rv'd it on the weekend.

Good meeting last Friday....started out sunny then we had to move everything inside because of some rain...cozy :)

Oreo on guard







 
Re last week's meeting:

That H2 Mach IV (Kaw 750) is a MAN'S bike. It could use a few 'safety' meetings!

I like those three teen boys hovering in the distance. Remember when we were them?

I remember looking at a new 750 Kaw that colour at the dealers when I was young. I just couldn't afford to buy it then, probably a good thing.

My buddy paid close to $20,000 for this one a couple of months age. He just retired as a chief engineer at BC Ferries and I guess he decided to give himself a retirement gift. :)

Yes. You could've been walking 'the streets of glory' right now if you had. :eek:

It's near impossible to impress on today's youngsters what an over powered beastie that Mach IV was in 1972. And Kawasaki was just getting started...

Brother in law in Nelson bought one new back then. Rode it a bit, sold it and has never been on a motorcycle since. That did it for him. I think he bought a 340 Dart after that.

I can't remember the price back then, Under $2k CDN I think. I was leaving smoke trails with my little GT250 at the time, I can't remember if I paid $650 or $850 for it brandy new, I think it was $850.

A 1972 Mach 4 was either $1200 or $1299 Canucklehead bucks . I can't remember exactly ..... My friend bought a water buffalo the same year and it was $1595 ......
