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.

    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?

Nice morning for a ride. Hooked up with a local friend on his Suzuki C50 and my old faithful 1000G....a quick stop by one of the local ponds. 6k on my set of Bridgestone Spitfires...they still stick good as I wear them to the edge with no chicken strip, but the rear may only have 1k left on it.

Got a ride in today, but not my bike. A friend got hit by a car the other night and ended up with a dislocated shoulder. Bike was damaged but still rideable and he needed someone to ride it a local dealer.

First time riding a cruiser. Could easily be the last. My hips still hurt from sitting astride that wide tank. Don't like the way the bike fell into corners. Kind of nice to have the power band down low, but just not my style of riding.

Much prefer the narrow parallel twin with narrow frame on my GR
 
Here are a few pics from my ride with my buddy Glenn today...

This was taken at one of my favorite local stops in Hays City. I was on my way to The Salt Lick for some awesome BBQ.
 
Finally got the bike up again, the last few weeks were killing me. Broke in the new tires in the nearby college parking lot and then headed south for some sight seeing. It was nice to get back on the road.

The weather was actually pretty nice, it wont get real hot for another couple weeks.
 
Are there demerits handed out if you did get a ride in, but have no pictures? :)

Got about 2 hours on the road today. First day after the semester ended and my family was at school or working. Left me to my own devices, so I went riding. Took as many backroads as possible. Have been fighting a charging issue, so I kept stopping to check the battery charge.

May have an issue, but came home with 12.7 volts in the battery, less gas in the tank and huge grin on my face. Longest ride on this old GR since I got it and I think I am close to getting it sorted out. Once I get the charging issue figured out...time to ride more often.

May have to think about some kind of windscreen/flyscreen to take a bit of wind off, but she ran just fine.
 
No pictures but took a 35 mile ride home the long way. Felt good to be out but had some slight issues with how I felt in the seat (already posted a thread about it). It's nice to be able to take that long of a ride and actually have twisties during it unlike my straight shot home while in Eastern Colorado.
 
Though everybody would get a kick out of this. Its in Geneva Fl. at the end of a community runway. It would be a cool prank on an unsupecting guest that had a few.:eek:

A good Memorial Day to you all.

A good Memorial Day to you all.

We came upon this little town that was five minutes BEFORE the start of it's memorial day parade. The street wasn't blocked off yet so we just rode through like the celebs we are. Unfortunately this pic was taken five minutes AFTER the parade, I swear the women and children went home and the bars absorbed the rest.:-s
