    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Got out for a bit today...
Chilly, and got chased home by some rain, but only 70 miles to the end of break in.

I don't understand all this break in talk. Whatever happened to "ride it like you stole it"?
 
Well, it is a brand new bike, and I would imagine, with all the electronics, it could be limiting the engine not to rev above a certain RPM or until the dealer sets to computer at the first service interval.

Click to expand...

We got older and smarter? ;):p:cool:

Heck, I might even let the dealer do the first service...(depending on cost, I am cheap)
 
Got out on my Cooley yesterday...and insured 4 bikes for 6 months....so now all 8 are insured for the season. But I have to do some carb cleaning on my 82 1100 and my 83 750....
 
And so it begins....my son got his learners and we got him started out on my dr650....perfect bike to learn on. He has some dirt bike experience and he knows how to drive a manual car....didn't take long and he was starting and shifting well...
Monday I'm signing him up for the Vancouver Island Safety Council motorcycle course...I'm glad he waited until he was 21 to start riding....he has had his own vehicle since he was 16 so he has some good experience on the roads.
Really looking forward to one day being able to take him on multi day trips. :)

 
That’s awesome. I had waited a long time for at least one of my kids to get his MC license. I really treasure the times that we get to ride together. He’s now talking about enlisting in the Air Force so we’ll have to make the best of our time this summer.

You're both lucky as heck. And I am jealous.
None of our three children have owned, or piloted a motorbike. No interest.
The older daughter was on the back of mine, once or twice, and she a short term boyfriend that had a bike.
But nope. Maybe the grandkids?
Addy is a teenager now....
 
Nice ride up island for some seafood jambalaya :)
8 of us got out....took the k1300r today





Great place for lunch in Genoa Bay



 
Got 93 miles in this morning and ended the break-in period. Time for the first service.
