    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.

lancaster counrty PA. has lots of hills turn and stops. you are getting superior gas mileage . Of course the fact that you are only 4'3" tall and weigh 80 pounds helps a bit.

Good points Dom, thx :)
 
I did a lot of riding this weekend and most of it with my 10 year old son on the back. So a 550 pulling a lard butt like me with a 10 year old on the back equaled about 330 pounds of human cargo. We rode around a lot of country roads and had a great time stopping at parks and winding down through the twisties (paved cow paths they look like) that we are blessed with in this area. As best as I could figure with what we filled it back up with and the miles covered I averaged about 46 mpg with him on it. I am very pleased, it seems to do very well but may be running a bit lean yet.
