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...
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 perfectly fine to ride it. Sleep easy. I know how these things can get at you but your cool.
Do me a favor .. dont put no damn duct tape on your bike
Jb weld should do you and I took a quick look and there were plenty used on ebay. If you get a new used one you can sand it out and polish it or paint it .. unless you plan on dropping your bike again!!
I am pretty sure its safe to say that everyone here has dropped their bike at least once.
From personal past experience, C10's and C14's are waaay too easy to drop. If you have it in your budget, you should get some tip over protection on your C14. So much cheaper than plastic etc. My son has a 13 C14 that has been down on both sides. He dropped it in Feb and broke his leg and toe along with a splinter fracture. $4600 on the bike and about $50,000 in his leg. The other side was from a riding buddy that rode it once and fell over at the end of his driveway. He chose to back it out instead of making a u-turn through his yard. He went too slow imo and got out where his feet wouldn't reach the ground. Down he went. That was about $700 that vanished just for parts. I really try to watch what I do so that I don't put myself in a situation that would contribute to dropping his or my bike. I would also advise to get sliders for the final drive. The final drive pivot point grinds on the ground when a C14 goes down. Final drives are cheap on ebay. They are $1195 new. Ouch! Sorry for the thread hijack. I'll get off my soapbox now.
