    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.

...After he took off, I laughed. It's great how these guys think they can beat you in a race even though they don't even know what kind of engine they have.

You should have passed him in the grass for the fun of it.

Good stories yall. No one has made fun of my bike yet. My uncle who rides an 08 road king chuckled when i got into a rev contest with him. But then I laughed hard at him when he said he paid about 16 grand for his. I replied that I only paid 200 for mine and she's got less miles than yours!

Oh and my buddy Miah said my rims were pentagrams. I stared a bit then replied, " It's the devil's bike"
 
The big crack over here is that you pay a few hundred ?s for your insurance on a modern 600 and I pay ?98 for both my CB1100F and the GS1000S together, though that doesn't mean I can ride them both at the same time!

My annual service costs are next to nothing whereas a lad at work's arse-in-the-air CBR600 cost him ?800 for minor work recently (more than both my bikes cost to buy).

And when I run down the cafe meets it's my bike that everyone wants to take home (excepting the straight-pans on the beemers).
 
LMAO ain't it the truth. :-) Lean 10 deg and stick a knee as far out as possible, even hang off and hunker down, it looks sooooo cool. I love cruising by them on the outside, sitting up while eating gummy bears with my left hand. LOL

The little fellers on their plastic fantastics ride and ride like the wind and stick their knees out when they lean 10 degrees, and hunker down all purposeful-like... and yet they can't seem to gain any distance on the fat guy on the old "slow" motorcycle that caught up to them a while back.

:twisted::twisted:
Learn to ride, ya whippersnappers...

Its even more fun when you flip the throttle lock on, pass them sitting up eating gummy bears with your RIGHT hand.... Some of those youngsters wonder how in the world youre going faster than they are and you're not even using the throttle...hehehe
 
When I had my shop in Hawaii one of the Harley shops was selling bumper stickers that all the Harley guys had on the back windows of their cars & trucks. They said "I'd rather PUSH my Harley than ride a Jap bike!" After seeing too many of them I had some made for my shop that said "I'd rather RIDE my Jap bike than push a Harley!" I gave them to every owner whose bike I serviced! I wish I still had some! Ray.
 
last weekend the local drag strip had all bike races. the winner of the pro class was a '78 GS1000. built to the hilt of course but essentially the same motor as my old bikes. this guy beat all the turbo busa's, kawasaki z-whatevers and vmax's in the place.

now if i could just get a halfway decent reaction time....
 
Heh heh he LMAO. At least following a pack of them through some curves is usually an amusing experience. I have difficulty keeping up with them because I cant see well due to the tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. :-)

That story is hilarious no matter how many times I read it. It's great to see some random drunk arguing your bike is better.
