    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.

    Making a good one out of two good ones.

    Before I built my own trailer, I first saw London-based couriers dragging trailers behind Kwak GT550s for one of the larger courier companies. Their bikes didn't seem too fazed by it at all. What I found silly was the width of the trailers they were pulling, as they weren't custom made bike...

    Making seat foams

    Interesting. However, dirt bikes aren't known for their seat comfort on long distances.

    E10, Phase Separation, and Water in the Fuel Tank

    Have you already taken the tank off and cleared it out? I had bad gas a couple of times and was glad of the drains in the fuel bowls. Long before ethanol times, contaminated fuel was a thing, especially in smaller less-used fuel stations.

    Bikes You've Always Wanted But Never Owned

    Boils down to two, really. They're cheap enough I could easily get either or both. The BMW K100 (or a K75) I have a full fairing for one or other of them, just sitting there doing nothing. The GSX1100G, to me, is the most heavyweight bike I'd be comfortable with these days.

    gs650e Stator + R/R issue

    Yep, I had one like that. It passed all the tests but was hopeless under load.

    Replacing a camshaft sprocket?

    Use a pair of mole grips on the cam shanks. Any decent auto store should be able to provide an equivalent for the specified thread locker.

    I'm going with Dorkbuger as a drive-in circus is something else. Get enough speed up and go clown bowling.

    Wheel Runout

    Hah, tell me about it. I stupidly rear-ended a Rover SD1 at a moderate heavy traffic speed when he braked suddenly. Not deliberate, it was stop-go traffic and he wasn't trying to brake check me. The rear bumper of the car fell off, supported only by a couple of licence plate light wires. I drew...

    Hydraulic lift or hoist, what do you use?

    Also, should I ever buy a snowmobile or lawn tractor it will fit.

    Hydraulic lift or hoist, what do you use?

    About nearly ten years ago I bought a decent bike lift. Best thing I ever purchased, however I found it a bit narrow to comfortably ride the bikes up and off again, so I made a set of side extenders and a proper on-ramp which aid in getting on and off with plenty of room to put a foot down and...

    Cylinder base gasket replacement

    Going straight from leak-free to a puddle is unusual for a base gasket leak. However, in the 850 a base gasket leak will surely happen, sooner or later, but it usually starts with a slight oil misting or weep that gets dirt sticking to it, long before it gets to actually leaking. Iow, you get...

    I've always got back on the hoss. Once or twice it's been quite a while later.

    Richard Hammond’s Motorcycle collection

    I'd have another one tomorrow. I knocked up a boatload of miles on my R80RT, and it had done a boatload before, in polis service. That's the one I put the R100 barrels, pistons and carbs on. Combined with the OE gearing, it turned it into a stump-puller.
