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.

    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.

Last evening I went for my first group ride! It was with the Christian Motorcyclist Association. There were about 35 bikes, Mostly HD's, Goldwings, a BMW, one new GSXR and one '78 GS1000! ME! I had the oldest bike there. It was so cool. I saw an old friend I bump into once in a while was checking out my bike. I hollered, "What's that you're eyeballing?" He says with a big smile, "That your's?" I guess my sh1t-eating grin gave it away. It got a lot of nods.

The ol' girl ran awesome and had lots of snort to pass a pokey dude on a sportster HD.

Man, it's fun being different! one of two dudes there with a full face, and the oldest bike there.

Kick ass!
 
Well, a 78 1000 is as legendary as it gets for Suzuki. That bike made the entire company and Wes Cooley famous!
 
Rock on buddy. Still holds it's own even with all that modern metal doesn't it?

:D
 
You bet, Hoomie!

I'm not a at all embarressed to say that I was disapointed with the speed of the ride. I wanted to open 'er up and see what the old girl would do! :-D

I LOVE group rides. Thats why I belong to the SCRC!!! You should check them out, maybe start a chapter in your area! When I started the local chapter it ws the only one in BC. There are now 4 on the island and 3-5 more on the mainland. My '78 GS 1000 has been the oldest bike in the chapter ever since I started it!!!! I LOVE it!

However the pace of a group ride is SLOWER compared to riding alone. It just simply HAS to be. Our chapter has the speed limit +10 kph rule that we follow pretty close.
 
Good deal.

Last Saturday I went on the Run for the Son with 3 CMA chapters and about 80 bikes and the week before I went on the Ride for Kids ride with 450 bikes.

Good stuff guys! I'm making friends with the CMA guys and plan to ride with them a lot. I just wish they kept the posted +10 rule instead of the posted -10 rule.

It's cool riding with my brothers and sisters that aren't ashamed to ride with a "Jesus First" button on their vests.

Our church has a bike club. COLF

We need to get together again soon too.
 
Ours, too. We ride every Thursday night at 6:00, usually go out for 2 hours or so. Most nights there are just 5 or 6 of us, but it's really fun group riding. Even though you can't really visit, the fellowship is good and real!

We are planning a run from here (Fergus Falls, MN) to Duluth in June for a weekend, running up the North Shore of Lake Superior. That should be a beautiful run.

I dream of riding my bike downtown Stillwater on some warm summer Friday night, as well!

thats really cool that your church does rides...I think that once I get a bike, I will be the only one to show up to the service on two wheels:-D .

I dont know many other people that ride, so those in my area, we gotta organize something (once I can ride, of course!)
