    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.

Working on a deadline here at the office so I can't take time to share the whole story, but had to let someone know. I just got an email from the Iron Butt Association and my ride has been confirmed. I am now official.

I rode my '83 GS1100E from Seattle to Boise on a Monday after work (500 miles) and the next day I rode from Boise to Westcliff CO (via Salt Lake City, Moab, 4 corners, Durango, & Telluride) for an 1,163 mile day.

It ended up taking a couple hours longer than planned due to a chain that was stretching and some construction related gravel roads. I found out later that the sproket nut had worked it's way loose and was just kept from getting worse by the folded tab on the washer.
 
Lawd have mercy! How long did the 1100+ stretch take?

It's getting so my wife can't even take 8 hours in the car. With stops.
