    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.

The motorcycle cops here ride BMW's. I haven't seen one up close but they look pretty nice and BMW's are pretty cool. I was zipping down the main drag--too fast--when I saw two of them pull out behind me and accelerate hard with lights on. I got that nasty feeling in my chest for a moment but they raced by and entered the intersection in front of me. They were going against the lights and had to brake to make sure the car coming in the far lane of cross-traffic had seen them and stopped. By that time they were barely moving and once they were sure it was safe they took off like a shot--with one of them doing a beautiful wheelie! Hadn't seen that from a cop before. I suppose he'd get some criticism if it got caught on video but I liked it. Makes me want to ride one of their bikes.
 
Highway Patrol here (OK) has BMWs. With a nice little spot for an AR-style rifle on the back. I was wondering how fast they were. I think they've got a couple of Hayabusas too. Don't have to wonder about those.
 
The Town of Warwick, NY cops had 2 BMWs too....they put em up for auction after the switched to Harleys a few yrs back....I couldda gotten one of them Beemers fer like 1500 I bet (they were 1200's)....theyre good guys too...they wave to me all the time when Im ridin....even though they know my bike aint 100%, lol....once per year, all the Orange County NY biker cops get together in my lil town, and go for a ride together....met a bunch of em....even though I dont go by the book, they RESPECT (statement from another thread) me because they know Im one of the "good guys"....

Damn....I wouldda loved to have gotten one of the Beemers....but it was at a time when Federal Soc Sec Disability fooked me (thanks Bush !!!!), because of my skin color and income, and 4 trillion being spent to "fight daddy's war"....and i wasnt old enough yet to collect my small pension....now I am....and started my own custom biz.....with the meager profits from that, I bought the GS700....to hopefully mod and flip....sadly, since almost winter, I wont see the profit until spring.....

I DO however make custom parts and accessories....if anyone needs....I also do custom paint.....(blatant self promotion)....but hay...Im desperate.....
 
Pretty cool. I hate that feeling when the lights come on behind you, but it is nice when they zoom past you...

The Highway Patrol and SLC proper police here have switched from Harleys to the new BMW's too. They look really nice, hard to imagine one a cop getting his front wheel off the ground, at least intentionally!
