    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.

    Battery time, again

    The motivation is to stop the inevitable thread stripping that occurs with bolts into the aluminum head.

    Need new tires, where to go...

    Since my priority is fresh tires, I found a place called 8 Ball tires locally, that was founded by Bike Bandit's creator. They matched the lowest price I could find and I was able to pick up some Avon AM26 tires. The date codes were both mid 2018. Thanks to all that responded.

    Need new tires, where to go...

    Hardly. I have not taken any action other than to gather information and follow up. Maybe I haven't behaved according to your rulebook?

    Need new tires, where to go...

    Bike Bandit is here in San Diego and there is a Competition Accessories here, too. Freshness is top priority for me, so I am gonna pop by these places and see what's in stock. Thinking of going with the Avon VM26.

    Need new tires, where to go...

    Ok, been checking your suggestions. What about BikeBandit? Shipping is free, I never dealt with them, but the prices seem in line. I have been shipped old tires before from someone else, don't want that to happen again.

    Need new tires, where to go...

    I would like to try Avons, as they worked well on my CB1100F. I have Dunlop D404s now, but want something else. Any recommendations are appreciated as well as deals.

    Balancing beads

    At least as much as the rim lock weighs, but a dirt bike normally doesn't travel at highway speeds much, anyway.
