    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.

Clubmans...Your kidding right?

My daughter's babydaddy rides an old Triumph 650 Bonneville. He told me to take it one day, so I did. I rode it about a mile and a half and turned it around and brought it back. I was actually straining my neck trying to see the road in front of me. And they ain't clubman bars, they're clip-ons about 2" below the top clamp. I bought an '82 Katana off the showroom floor and rode it for twenty-six years, and that bike was like a Honda Gold Wing next to this thing.

Must be why so many 30 year old Jap bikes dont have any miles on em. I've wondered about this since I got into these things. IE, 78 GS1000 rusted to bits, sitting out under a tree with a rotted tarp for 10 years with 7k miles on it. Kinda makes one wonder why the bike was parked to begin with.

maybe in your country fella..... but in the uk these things rack up high mileages. 60-70-80 000 miles no problem. suspect it was a previous pussy of an owner who would only do 7000 miles in it's lifetime. ;)

.... and the constatant need to repair? nah, again, do it right the first time and it's done for the rest of it's lifespan imho. only realy issue is the wiring, sort that out and the rest is bulletproof :D
