    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.

Platt and I were out for a ride yesterday through some short, choppy twisties up and down hills, just playing. We were about halfway through a series of snake like curves going over hills and I couldnt see beyond the curve I was on. I was coming around a 20 mph curve at about 45 and hugging the edge of the asphalt as I habitually do because of oncoming cars being over the centerline. About midpoint in my turn, with the bike leaned over pretty decently, I see a big triangle of loose sand from a rain runoff covering my lane from the pavement edge almost to the centerline. Instinctively, I opened up my radius to swing wide to the centerline to avoid the sand. As I did, an oncoming car popped up, coming over the hill and into my turn, also dead on the centerline. It was a short approach and I only had a second before the side of the car would have cleaned the left mirror off the bike. My track was ok, but I needed clearance for my mirror hehehehe, so the quickest thing I could think of was to shove the bike over with the handlebars, but not wanting to change my projected track and balance, I didnt lean with the bike. I had the bike leaning way over to the right for mirror clearance and I was leaned to the left to maintain my track. I cant help but wonder what the cager thought to see a bike coming his way, leaned way over to the right with the rider leaned way over to the left. LOL I couldnt stop laughing about that all afternoon. :-) I'm probably too old to be doing this kinda crap though. eheheh

Good strategy, Earl. Save the mirror and hang out your head in its place.:lol:

A man's got to set priorities.:confused:
 
Hey! I had enough of each to split the difference LMAO. You go ahead and bust up your mirrors, I aint busting up mine. LOL Funny thing is, just for giggles, I used to turn right and lean left a lot when I was younger. It was more instinctive than anything else.

I have your epitaph ready:

Here Lies Earl Forever Gone
He was Hanging Off instead of Hanging On
He Gave His Life for His Mirror
Lost His Head but the Mirror was Dearer :-({|=

See there are things you don't know yet. What you may know as Earl does is that those mirrors are getting harder to come by these days. What you obviously don't know that Earl does is that if Earl's head gets snapped off he will simply grow another one right back. You've seen MIB haven't you? Nuff said :twisted:
 
This is sooo funny. :-) Go ahead, make fun of me and see if I care. LOL I have two perfectly good, undamaged mirrors. How many do y'all have? eheheh

Which also means he has eye's in the back of his head and don't need no stinking mirrors.

You gotta unna stand the logic here

If'n a mirror gets broke it's a shattering experience, and you can't look back on it, but iff'n the head comes off, the mirror can tell where it went!



Hmmm......must sit back and reflect on that one.... :)
