    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.

Take a bow, the S looks great.
You may have already explained but what happened in the crash? That looks nasty.
 
Bunch of us West Coast members were on a rally in central California (Paso Robles area) in the summer of 2012. Doing a morning ride up in the hills, I was in the lead, a bit ahead of everyone else when I went up and around the backside of a steep hill. When I rounded the back I apparently decided to stop following the road and take a detour into the bottom of the ravine through a barbed wire fence and then did a flip for good measure. Luckily I was wearing a bright yellow green safety colored helmet which my companions spotted as they rounded the hill so they were able to came to my rescue. I actually have lost time in my memory; the 3 minutes or so prior to the crash and the 45 minutes after. I only remember starting up the hill then waking up in a hospital for a nice 2 week stay. All I know about the crash is what the CHP report said. CHP explanation for the crash? The rider did not stay on the road. To this day I have no idea what happened. The other GS members at the rally (some who are still on this forum) forever have my gratitude for not only saving me but more importantly rescuing my bike and getting it back to my garage in San Jose.
 
The bike came out beautifully. It's a classic too. I'm happy to hear you are doing well. You've closed the circle too. Resolution is a great thing. ;)
