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.

You are right that you should ride first and get the basics down before worrying about the much more advanced and abstract techniques. My favorite is Lee Park's book Total Control, but they all have merit.
Do you need to have a motorcycle licence before buying a motorcycle in the Netherlands? Wow. I find it interesting how different the American approach to motorcycles is from the European standards.

. Did you notice the length of my posts? 
While you are probably allowed to buy a bike here without a license, you would not be allowed to ride it
. And because I really want to see and feel how well a bike runs and how well it suits me ergonomically before I buy it, I want to ride it first. Owning a bike before you are allowed to ride it is way too frustrating and tempting anyway .Later this week I can pick up the little plastic card called a license. And next weekend I am going to a concert up north, probably on a Honda CX500 a flatmate is letting me borrow! (Very nice of him!)

I bought my GS without a licence. Hell I didn't even have the permit when I got it, I just saw it sitting in used section at the bike dealer, and knew I wanted it!
It was only later that I figured out what the hell I actually bought and how good of a bike it turned out to be.
