    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.

Mu usual quandry, old Wing this time.

I like the old girl, but I wonder if she'll be worth it. I've had a couple of really good bikes that were reliable and am kind of spoiled. I would still trust my GS850 to take off for the coast in any direction, and my Guzzis have hauled me as far away as Arizona without a hiccup. This Honda makes a few rattling type noises when cold that go away when warmed up. Sounds like the clutch/trans area. I've ridden it up & down the road, longest run about 15 miles so far. My foot doesn't seem to like the shifter, I may have to set a heel-toe arrangement. I hate the bars with a passion. I got saddles for my horses better than the seat. At least this stuff can be changed out for function.
 
Yes the clutch does make a bit of a clatter. The shifter being tucked up under the head cover kinda sucks a bit for having to be sure your foot is 100% off it before downshifting gears. I like my seat. Its the stock seat. Whats yours???
 
It's got one of those infamous double bucket POS that they used to hand on UJMs to make them long mile worthy. And it's hard, as well as so thick it makes it hard to reach the ground.
