    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.

Made a run to get a bag of dog food this afternoon. On the way back, I stopped at a little country store I frequent and parked the bike at the end of the parking line next to the building. On coming out and being in the process of putting on my helmet, a older woman driving a PT cruiser parked in the spot next to my bike. She was getting close to too close and I was keeping a eye on her. When she got out of her car to walk past me, she said don't worry, I wouldn't hit your bike. I smiled at her and said, "good thing, because I would have to beat your ass" To which she replied, You better watch it, I'm 80 years old and I have a cane". :D I said I can see it now, the cops arrive and you're beating me with a cane and I'm pounding you with a bag of dog food. hehehe Then she says, "I rode a Harley for a lot of years, but I just can't manage one anymore". She had a few good bike stories to tell. I think we both had a good time swapping experiences. When I see a 80 year old woman with a cane, too often, I probably forget that she wasn't always so.

hi a few years ago in orbost i met a old guy that was 70 when he started the OLD BASTARDS MOTORCYCLE club ,,,,you had to be 70 when you got your licence..... had rode a 1981 shaft drive gs1000 with a side car and also a trailer... he used to go camping for 3-4 weeks with his 2 dogs, they both sat in the dusting sidecar,,, god it was a loverly bike/setup regards oldgrumpy
 
Good stuff Earl. She sounds sharper than most 20 years olds nowadays. I guess when I ride up your way I'll have to be on my best behavior. I don't want to get beaten by a cane......or dog food.
 
I'm picturing Earl hopping around the broken bag of dog food trying to duck, but the old lady and her cane are much too quick for him.

Keep your helmet on tight Earl, I bet it's loud in there!

One of the few perks of having white hair is that I can get away with things that otherwise would be taken seriously. :D
 
Since you mention she was a "Harley" rider I'll bet she only looked like she was 80.

I really try to be conscious of the same, and I know I fail in that endeavor far too often.

I like it! Bag of dog food, good for defense but a little cumbersome on the attack.

Not too bad if you open the bag and pummel the little old ladies one pellet at a time. heh
