    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.

In '65 after reassembling an old lambretta scooter I'd gotten for $10, less a clutch cable and mighty anxious to go for a ride...in my infinite wisdom, I decided I would start by just shifting into first. It died...So, i revved it up...a lot... and shifted into first...and did a back flip. a coupla' times I got down into a street corner and lost it on the bump in the intersection...once wearing only shorts. If you can feature someone falling down on a m/c and desparately climbing on the high side to minimize the rash...Larry
 
The "desparation to ride" can make one do some crazy things. I remember when I was about 12, a buddy of mine had a "Bronco TX2" minibike powered by a Tecumseh 3 hp engine driven with a centifugal clutch. Well after much abuse, the clutch blew up. Had to ride, so he got the two pieces of the clutch welded together. He now had a direct drive minibike! Had to bump start it from the top of a dirt hill. The darn thing idled at about 30 mph! (seemed like it at the time) That didn't last long as he knew that it was a "little" hard on the engine. 8)
