    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.

anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

Bill, thanks for looking out... yes, the shock / springs are on the longer term list of things to do.
That being said, neither 1150 I've owned never leaned as much as my old 1100e. It looks more pronounced in that pic- Pb's 750 was sitting on a slight incline, mine was not.
I NEVER let the kids sit on the bike unless it's on its centers and due to its lack of lean.... fear of a tip over scares me.

Went for a ride tonight wearing exactly none of the gear. Sneakers, shorts, t shirt, and no helmet.. and under the influence. Rode around town as the lifeblood of a wretched summer slips away. I'm happy to see it go, sad at small amount of riding done on my real bike.

Just about to put some miles on my bike (bicycle) ...
 
So I took the Non-runner out for a 20 mile run.... It runs but it's definitely burning oil. Oh well. I think I'll part this one out or sell complete. I'll post an add.

Anyway its still fun!

Rode the 850 up to Anacortes for the annual oyster run. ~10,000 Harleys and a couple dozen other bikes. My first time, a must-do if you are in the PNW. Stopped my my new bike buddy Jack's house to look at his collection.

The choice of color doesn't help... Well personally that's on the bottom of my list... At least you'll be seen when you break down on the side of the road!!!
 
Rode to my moms tonight to prep a 454 Chevy that is hopefully to be sold tomorrow - guy doesnt want the transmission so I had to pull off the bellhousing and flywheel. Moms is not too far, but far enought to get a little peace inside the helmet - good thing because family drams BS has made the place I grew up and loved one that I now dont particularly like going to. And true to form, my brothers junk was front and center and in the way.

Took a chilly meandering ride home in the chilly night air, and this sissy boy had to turn on the grip heaters.

Quick stop in front of the recently shut down Chevy dealer.

Glad your still getting out Glen! I went for my ride in today and it was cold...

Had to de-thaw the bike... Love frost. NOT!

Enjoy your night rides as long as you can Glen!!!
 
A few comments for the last half dozen posts;
The Harley riders; WTF will leather chaps do for you in a crash? Don't worry, cause your as has plenty of fat to grind off? Your head is made of bone, so no problem there.
Dorkburger, another 3-4 paragraphs about your fam and I'd think you were burntkittyforge, PS I like his ramblings.

I took me bicycle for a ride too, Saturday and Sunday. We had a huge bicycle event here Sunday, the Apple Cider Century with 5000 bikes registered. You have your choice of riding a rout from 15 to 100 miles long. A very mixed bag of riders, some serious athletes with primo gear riding the long routs, 100 miles in 6 hours for some of them, WOW! Many miserable chubbies with primo gear. Many one time only riders on bikes adjusted all wrong for their legs. I saw one 60yr old lady killing herself riding 25 miles on a 1950s girls bike, many kids too.
Me I rode my own rout just 10 miles each way, and was huffing like a whale the 1st 10 miles @ 14 MPH, rode the return leg easy at 12mph. I read that 16mph is considered ok for a novice, HA!
I'm riding a steel frame 1977 Fuji Sports 10, I just upgraded with all aluminum parts, still weighs in at 29lb, however 19lb is considered average for a decent road bike these days.

You frickin' guys... I had a dream about bicycles last night; I did a tour on a pedal bike of the Adirondacks... Weird...
Damn you guys, damn you for being a good influence.
