    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.

    I knew I was violating the rules as I often do with the bike, but geez, I didn't expect to get called out on it.

    Brakes not building pressure

    I totally agree with this statement, but when I had to replace some caliper parts from a Brembo supplier, he stated I should use the "Brembo" paste that goes with the rubber seals. I told him I would stick with the proven brake fluid.

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    I took a ride of sorts, ok it technically doesn't count as my bike was actually strapped into the truck bed. I just wanted to show you all where I originated. This is warren county Indiana state hwy 63. Sort of a tunnel of trees like Dave (Redman) has in Michigan. ​​​IMG_20221020_142713060_HDR...

    Matching tubes to tires ... or not

    Totally agree with Grimly. 32/36. Use this setup before going out on a ride long enough to heat the tires up. Then check them and you should be at 35/39 or maybe 35/40. That's the 10 percent rule. Should have you real close.

    Yes, that was the ST1100, the 2nd one listed in my signature.

    How does that thing not sink into the sand? Surely must be some kind of hard surface under the sand, right? Or did you just photo shop that pic?

    Getting more interested in 2-up riding

    This Larry agrees with ^^^^that Larry. The older Goldwings come up for sale quite often and are very affordable. I only owned 1 honda in my life and I had a real love/hate relationship with it. I loved the fact it never needed anything more than routine oil and filter changes. But, the hate...

    Yeah, that's what BMW stands for. Bring More Wallet. They are extremely proud of their parts and don't even get me started on the helpful guys of the BMW forum. Not going to say which forum as there are many. Maybe even some of them are like real humans. Good choice Dave and way to do your...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    I just got back from a small ride on the famous hwy 7 from Harrison to Jasper prior to sunset (this is Arkansas) and learned a good lesson about riding with proper gear. My jacket got some blood splatter on the white, of course, but the face shield took a big hit right between my eyes. It was...

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    There!!! Finally. That water was just begging for me take a big drink of it. Probably would have been ok but was just told about the town of Piedmont having tested positive for ecoli the previous day. I would think the creek water was probably good.

    1985 GS550ESF Speedometer Inaccurate

    My 1000E is off by 8 mph only the opposite of yours. Indicated 80 is actually 72. So to see triple digits, which I like doing , I need to see 108+ on my speedo. Maybe we should park our bikes in a locked garage for a few days and see if they can arrive at a happy medium. I am not suggesting...
