    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.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Finally legal and on the road!

Well I got my tires yesterday and my safety certificate today at 1pm. A quick trip to Service Ontario and $10 more and I'm legal. She's not 100% finished but no more wrenching this year. Anything else will have to wait for winter. I got me a whole passle of riding to get done.

Here she is:

I don't think Deez is interested anymore:(

Well I better get those tires scrubbed in.

Thanks to all for the interest, enthusiasm and support especially my good pal and partner in crime Gatekeeper. I couldn't have done it with out you bud.

Cheers,
Spyug
 
Sweet looking bike! You wont be able to get a stoopid grin off your face for weeks. (I hope!) Congratulations.
 
Thanks BigD. I didn't do the paint on the tins but I painted my spare set of wheels to match while I was waiting for the skins to turn up. I had done my XS Tracker and the 82 Kat that way and they looked good to me.

Its actually a bit odd as when I was a kid my dad always got white cars and I thought they were the most boring looking things. I swore I would never paint anything white. I guess its grown on me.

Well I just got back in from another short ride and have to tighten up a few things as I found I had lost a bolt holding the screen and a second one was almost gone too. At certain revs she seems to rattle a bit.

The rains have calmed down a lot but we're expecting some more next week. As long as they hold off over the weekend.

Cheers.
 
Well she's not up to Mr. Gatekeepers extremely high standard but she's nice from about 10 feet :). Lots of little things to do and I am contemplating a frame off clean and repaint of engine and frame over the winter. For now I have to ride.

Riding could be hampered a wee bit as I have to make the mirrors useable since now I can only see my arms. I find it scary not to be able to see behind me. I'll have to work on something pronto.

Thanks for the compliment TT
 
I am sure you will have here spick and span and in all her glory by next season, we have a whole winter ahead, and what else can you be doing......but make her all pretty

Actually she don't look all that bad as she sits, so don't sweat the little things,,,,get out and ride.....

hey are we playing hookey on Friday, afternoon......
