    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.

Most of my weekly rides (like today) are 50 mile round-trip commutes. I installed a full exhaust last week to replace the slip-ons, and the ecu map still needs refining, but it's getting there, and I still absolutely love the Sportster.

And I absolutely love this FZ1!

Hind sight is always 20/20 but after coming to the realization the best motorcycle (for me) I've ever owned was a FZ1 and getting back on one has been a coming home feeling. It really brings the joy of riding back! Find what works best for you and roll with it. Life is too short to not be 100% optimized for maximum enjoyment!
Be on a bike that fits you like a glove and yields the most smiles per gallon! Regardless of power and speed. It's about you and your ride. Go Ride it!!!
Best,
 
Got away from the house for a few hours today on a sightseeing tour to find a couple of places. First on the stop was Clifton Mill, one of the largest water-powered mills around though nothing was flowing today. It is a favorite during the Christmas season primarily because the entire property is shown in a spectacular light show. I couldn't take the bike back here and parking is all street side which makes me wonder how they handle the large crowds. They have a restaurant on the property but I didn't stop in to eat as the line for seating was quite long.

Then I went to find Hoover Dam. Do you realize how long of a ride that is in a short amount of time? Oh wait, I'm talking about Westerville Ohio NOT Arizona. The reservoir on the other side is quite high and was very busy with all kinds of boats.

Managed to avoid the major rain today (sky was looking very angry south of Columbus) but still had to wear the rain gear for the light rain I received for about 10 miles. All in all a very nice 260-mile day back in the saddle
 
Got my usual 60 mile loop in, counter clockwise this time.
Only had to pass 7 cars & 2 scooters.
It was a pleasant jaunt.
 
Good to see you are getting back into the fine art of riding again Scott. Any soreness?

I got a 167 mile ride in today trying to get the last few miles out of my rear tire on the Honda so I can mount a new rear tire before the trip to Arizona at the end of October. Yea, the Honda is getting ready to winter in Az. with all the snowbirds.
