    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

    18 motorcycle crashes in one day at Sturgis Rally in South Dakota

    As much chance of absolution as: "But don't you see? I had to kill him." Maybe louder pipes would have prevented these accidents?

    Old Age, Memory, Surgical Trauma, And Music

    Joints need to move to be lubed. Apparently tendons can partially ossify if not moved. can you play "mood for a day" in 95 somewhere in the Montreal metro. This guy was playing and when he stopped my buddy showing off for his short term Kampuchean girlfriend dropped a twenty and asked. "Mood...

    Old Age, Memory, Surgical Trauma, And Music

    Odd thing to lose. Since I got my skull opened 1.5 yes ago I see and recall people but can't remember names. I also begin tasks and if I need a tool or ingredient forget the task and stand spellbound. Joy of fentanyl. music and old movies are potent memory triggers. I try to listen and watch...

    1983 GS550E: The Scenic Route

    Those clamps? Iirc the oil pressure maxes at 65 psi. you would be wise to get new hoses made up by an hydraulics shop. while you have the carbs out remove the boots and replace the o rings. at this age they'll have shrunken and lost elasticity.

    Why redline? Why try to destroy the engine when most usable power is lower. it could easily be coils or other ignition bits. A wonky cap. Etc. are valves in spec, carbs cleaned, airbox and filter properly mounted.?? or is the tach off slightly and you're feeling the onset of valve float...
