    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.

I too was gonna harrass, er, um, ah, state, state my concern about road salt on that new bike.

Let me also share an observation I made about myslef. I found that the two occassions that I rode off with the sidestand down was after having it up on centerstand.

HEHE Well Dave I bought the bike to ride... Not to look at. Truth being I will likely trade in after warranty expires in 3 years for something newer, at that point I'm sure I'll have close to 80K miles on it anyway!

Yeah she won't let me go with the side stand down. Put it in gear and it dies even with the clutch suppressed.

Triumph should pay you for testing the new tranny gear.


My ?09 Bonneville SE does the same with the side stand down ? a safety feature.

Yah, Same as my '02 R1150RT. I should have thought that such interlock might be fairly standard these days.

(but on my RT it cutts out the ignition, but not the starter. So Doesn't occur to this old dog why its cranking but not starting.)

That uber weird... Frickn' Germans.

I'm pretty sure there is some sorcery going on in my bike, for a "standard" motorcycle the thing is loaded to the gills in tech. I often think/hope, Sure hope nothing electric goes.
 
AZR and I got out for a spin today....first ride for Rob on his new to him GS1100ES....the po is a member here....Kevin you kept good care of the bike and you know Rob will too. :)

Nice. We had about 2" of new snow on the ground here in Ann Arbor. It ain't summer no more I guess. :(

We had a dusting of snow on Monday. Cold (just barely freezing for the high), wind, no riding for me. Today it was clear and in the 40's, climbing temps for the rest of the week into the mid 50's. Cold snaps come and go pretty quickly. I'm hoping to get out tomorrow for a ride.
 
12' F and a boat load of black ice all over the roads took the truck and my running equipment. If I cant run a bike I'll run my legs! Tis the season to loose 20lbs HAHAHA.

I did ride yesterday for a couple of hours after work yielding 100 miles on the TUX which will soon be receiving studs! It was miserable yesterday, 33' Soaking rains and snow... My days are numbered for this season.
 
Gonna be 10F tonight a bunch of snow coming tomorrow night. Looking like motorcycle season is winding down for the Northeast.
