    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.

all of you have been helping me get this bike going are great , so i thought id update u.... after getting my airbox half ass on, the bike runs nicely!
funny thing here is i have never owned a bike! and my dumb ass went for a test run with no helment or eye wear... well i got my first bug in the eye (didnt even make it to the end of my street) :oops: had to turn around and come home :( my freakin eye is watering like crazy and my nose is running lol ,. guess i had to learn the hard way , but hey the bike is fast and fun ! thanx for the help .. now i need safty gear
 
Actually, you needed the safety gear before you went for a ride. :oops:

Now you will know first-hand WHY you need some of it. Recommended at all times, includes helmet, eye protection, gloves and over-the-ankle boots. Of course, long pants are assumed, long sleeves are preferred. In addition to this you can go with the latest in mesh/Kevlar protection or leather, your choice.

Glad to see that was the only extent of the damage. Next time, put the gear on while the bike is warming up. You and the bike will be ready to go about the same time. \\:D/

What's the last thing to go through a bugs mind when he hits your windshield? (or your eye?)

His @#s. Glad your bikes running....sounds like we need to keep an eye on you.
 
speaking of bugs in the eye...

speaking of bugs in the eye...

8-[ A buddy of mine was out changing his oil right, and there were leaves and cob webs stuck under the engine. So he goes and gets on his back looks under the enginge to clear all this stuff out. To make a long story short, bug debris, dirt, leaves, everything falls into his eyes a few days later has a red eye irritation, goes to the doctor points to his eye and says" hey doc, does this look ok?" Doctor examines his eye and says to him "sorry to say this but, you've got a larve growing in your eye!" SOo, the moral of the story is!!.....Wear eye protection!\\:D/

Damn parasites! Can't stand bugs...especially inside the house or on my bike! Just be glad we don't have to deal with these things while riding! (Sorry, I saw a Discovery show recently).

Get yourself a nice helmet and you won't have to worry about those. I can recommend a HJC CL-33. You get the bug protection of a full face but it feels like you are riding open face. It's also very comfortable and has good hearing protection for an open face. It's also a great value.
 
lol

lol

yeah i wont be riding again till i get the gear... i live near panama city beach and in a few weeks is "thunder beach". im sure some of you have heard of it. anyway ill try and get some good deals out there, they always have good leathers , glasses, hopefully helments cheap. :)
 
This reminds me of the first time I left the full face at home & threw on a half-helmet. I hadn't gone a 1/2 mile when the car in front of me kicked up a small stone that smacked me right square in the nose! Blood was all over my face before I could get pulled over.
