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...
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.
It's humorous to me! I'm just pushing his buttons........and he knows every bike he buys is INTENDED to bring more money than he pays for it, just never turns out that way for him, which I find incredibly hilarious. Especially with his long, drawn out "look at the great deal I found" threads that end up being nothing more than a "hope I can break even", and then eventually, a "lesson learned" thread. Yet he doesn't learn the lesson, and keeps getting himself into these fruitless projects that can do nothing but harm his perilous financial condtion, which he also likes to cry about. Can't feel sorry for a guy that makes the same mistakes over and over, just like the bike in question here. Money pit, no way you could make a profit on this bike. That's what I call a glutton for punishment! I just like screwing with Chuck more than anything else, I've seen him dish out enough around here that a little coming back at him is well deserved.
And some of us could care less if they are upside or not because, more than likely than not, they'll never sell it.
I would have to agree, they were not great bikes. In fact, they sucked in comparison to the 2 strokes I rode at the same time. Heavy, cumbersome, slow. However, they sold lots of them and they have value now, for what ever reason.
Chuck, being a ground up refinisher it will make it hard for you to be a flipper in this case. You'll be fighting your natural tendencies to do everything on the bike and doing everything right costs $$$ and its hard to know when to stop.
