    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.

My last ride

.........of the season.

I had a great fall ride today with some of my old riding buddies and their sons. It was just a short, relaxed ride but as we were riding along one of our favourite twisty roads following Bob on his Triumph T160 I watched the yellow aspen leaves floating in his wake. I realized that we had been riding together now for over 25 years. It made me realize what I large part of my life motorcycles and the people that ride them really are and that I?ve been fortunate to have been able to ride every year for the last 37 years. Although I?ve put on many miles over the years, some really long days in the saddle and far too many miles at speeds bordering insanity, it was great to just get out with some old friends and go for putt. I just hope everyone here on the GSR enjoys this sport as much as I do. The bikes in the photo are ?87 FZR1000, KLR650, ?71 CB750-K1, my ?79 GS1000 and a ?75? Triumph T160.

Thanks for sharing....your pictures and your reflections. I know exactly what you are saying as I am sure many others here do also.
 
Glad the words "my last ride" weren't what I first thought they meant. I thought it was related to your crash and I was like...awwww man. :(
Anyway, I second Don's words exactly. :)
 
I suppose this addiction fuel this site and this site fuels our addiction. The willingness of those to share their knowledge and comensuate with our problems also make it so great to share with this exceptional motorcycle community. Thank to all of you that have helped me this summer with various problems. Ride on and share your photos of trips and adventures.

Sort of the reaction I expected with my title line. Sorry, but it was fun. Anyway it'll take more than that to get me off a motorcycle or should I say stop riding. Getting, splitting and stacking the usual six cords of firewood over the last month is pretty good for getting my old arms and shoulders working again.
