    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...

  • 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.

Pic of the week game

Voting for Trevor.

I realized after the fact it may be rather difficult to show heat, but y'all came through. :encouragement:

Several years ago I visited the Trinity site where the original tower (like the one in my pic) stood and first atomic explosion occured. The power and heat that came from that blast was astonishing, and to see where it occured really helped put it into perspective. At ground zero, the soil was sucked up into the intensely hot mushroom cloud and fused together making a new element they named Trinitite. Even after intense amounts of cleanup, you can still find bits of Trinitite laying around, though you're not supposed to pick it up. At the exit to the fenced in blast zone there was a table with a geiger counter on it and a few common items that emit small amounts of radiation. I took a shoe off and tested it after walking around in there. As it turns out, a pack of cigarettes (like any pack will) emitted more radiation than my shoes did.
 
My first tour on my 80/1100L took us through all 100+ deg days, but crossing across to Clarkston Wa. It was 107 on the billboard, sadly no pics just opening up of ge r at the first stop light. Hot. Hot. Hot. Only if you stop.

Ya know, anyone who comes on this thread that regularly contributes is welcome to do the tally and post the result after the voting is done on Saturday morning. It is not one person's official "Job". The site had a SNAFU all day Saturday, but I think/hope we can continue as normal. That said, here is my count. Verification would be welcome and appreciated.

Baatfam - 2
Grimly - 3
trevor - 5

trevor has the clear victory, so let's see what he's got for us next.

Hi guys, thanks for the votes.
I sold my VFR1200F on Friday....I'm at the stage in life where I want less, not more...more bikes mean more work...and my ocd won't allow a bike to be ignored.
So this week's theme is "Saying good-bye". As usual. interrupt as you see fit.

 
Said goodbye to five bikes at one time after Hurricane Irma visited me in 2017. Here are four of them.

My '78 HD Sportster leaving home after 18 years together.



A clearer shot of what it looked like. (Not an entry)
 
Are you sure Rob??? That'd be a first. Hard for me to imagine any Sportster could win anything.
