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.

No doubt. There's going to be a period of slowly advancing my learning curve on this beast. No doubt it's going to scare the bejeesus out of me several times before I get a handle on it. The upside will be the sound of that engine at about 10K RPM. I get chills just thinking about it.
My sanity has certainly been questioned by friends, folks on here, and myself as I prepare to throw several thousand bucks down this rat hole. The fact is I've just always wanted one, a street rod. I graduated high school in 1983, when these bikes were king. I remember driving by a little fairgrounds in my home town about that time. There was a black motorcycle club having a drag meet so we pulled in to check it out. My main memory is a tiny black dude, I mean like 5'5" on a big ole KZ1000 with a wheelie bar. His feel couldn't touch the ground without leaning the bike over. He wound up winning, and man the sound of that motor wide open, him standing up on the bike trying to brake as about 100' past the end of their strip it turned to gravel. I was hooked. From that moment on I knew one day I wanted to own a big beastly overbuilt monster. It's like owning a Ferrari. I mean how many times are you REALLY gonna get to open it up and go 180, not very many, but there is a ton of fun in just knowing you can anytime you want.
I also believe we are living in the last days my friend, not of the world, but in the world of the fuel usage be damned, almost totally mechaincally based internal combustion engine. The not that distant future (and to some degree already here) is computers, and ever more complex engine designs, and alternative fuel vehicles. The big pistons slamming up and down brute force of these bikes will be something you read about in books for my grandkids, or great grandkids.
