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...
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.
Ice or SALT! I try to avoid salting the bike at all cost...
Well, if we all lived in a tropical, southerly location like Greensburg Indiana it would be different.
Come north about 300 miles and you might change your tune.
I remember those times growing up in the Chicago area. Didn't see grass until March or April.Well, if we all lived in a tropical, southerly location like Greensburg Indiana it would be different.
I've got my fingers crossed that we'll have a light winter and can ride thru most of it. The worst years are when it snows at Thanksgiving and doesn't melt until March, or when then temps are below zero for months at a time. Those conditions just take some of the joy out of riding.
Not that I'm complaining or anything
. I quit riding when I can no longer safely negotiate my driveway due to ice (usually after the second or third snowfall when it sticks, then melts and turns to ice at the foot of my driveway). It results in my bike being parked for 2-3 months depending on the thaw date.
) to end the season. Now its getting cold and wet and I'm traveling most of the time between now and New Years. If I get lucky the bike will come out 2 or 3 times between now and March.
Steve...have a good time. That is one event that I will avoid with all my being. I've only ridden in one motorcycle parade and it was a horrible experience. I'll never ride in another one. Too many pirates drinking and getting high before they all ride side-by-side at 10 mph all day long. No thanks!
Happily I've never experienced that, and I've ridden in several TFT parades. Worst thing I saw was a cager who illegally tried to pull through the parade and got T-boned by a biker. Otherwise I've only ever seen a well behaved lot. Maybe the extreme cold weeds out the troublemakers...
I know your sunrise activity has dwindled with sunrise getting later and you being at work. Hope you join in the other one!
