    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the good news. Now I suggest you check the date code on the tires. I'll bet it's time for new ones, no matter how much tread is on them. See the Tire Info page on my little website. Ride safely! :)


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

GOOD looking L ! ! ! ! :D


Now, replace the petcock with another NEW vacuum unit, throw a load of elbow grease on the old girl, and ride her... :p

The elbow grease will come when riding weather is over.. She's getting a whole new paint job this winter and the motor possibly torn down (This will depend on if the rings are bad which we will know in just a short matter of time) None the less she's gonna be a brand new bike come spring and while DH's is painting the bike Momma is gonna be getting mighty dirty trying to "Shine" the motor up :) As for the petcock it's already on order just waiting for it to arrive which should be by late this week or early next week :o
 
A dremel with a little wire brush works a treat on all those little rusty fasteners.
I buy the wire brushes by the sackful on ebay.
Wear saftey glasses.
