A note to new registrants...
All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

A Special Note about Email accounts!
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.

At least you got good service and the tech admitted to the mistake. It takes a lot of man to admit he screwed up especially when he knows the guy on the phone wants to tear his head off. That's unfortunate they didn't do the job right at first, but at least he's trying to make up for it.

That would be my reaction as well. People do make mistakes. The shop and tech are 'fessing up" and trying to make it right. Good learning experience all around. There's nothing wrong with taking your bike to a shop to be worked on. But the final QA inspection is up to the rider. Think for a moment about why pilots do a good preflight inspection every time before heading off to that "wild blue yonder" no matter how many signatures are in the forms certifying the aircraft as ready for flight. It's the same situation for motorcycle riders. Because it's your ass on the line, not the mechanics.
