    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

I managed to snag this shot while chasing dpep through some of Flori-duh's vicious "curves". :-\\\
Bike is not quite vertical after the "curve", exit speed is appropriate for the ride. Thanks, Don. :encouragement:

I was going to go with Baatfam's theme with the gauges, but the numbers were a bit more "modest", considering they were on an 850, and didn't show any of the road. :oops:
Mrs. Steve reached around me to take the picture.

I have nothing... well maybe one that I previously used that everyone probably forgot about by now. My bike is down for maintenance so there will be no new pics.... I may have to go with creative interpretation .

A "biker's point of view" is not necessarily from the seat of a bike.
A "biker's point of view" may be what he or she can see, but it may also be how they feel about something.
 
I've had that windshield before! Glad you submitted!


I never would have purchased a windshield like that, but it came with the bike. I LOVE MY SLIPSTREAMER TURBO!!!

I am going to keep it on even though I'm going with a slight scrambler style. I paint the bottom half to give the batwing fairing look.
 
A biker's point of view? Hmmm....I actually had some pictures when I was a no-helmet, leather wearing, "biker"
This is better....

My "view" on being a motorcyclist:
Stopping somewhere I wouldn't have stopped at, if I wasn't on a bike, and getting a "biker's view"
This was is a perfect example of a biker's view, up in the Chippewa Falls area of Wisconsin.

Biker View, in urban California anyway, being up front at a traffic light after filtering up inbetween the lanes (see mirror).
Car drivers dont get to see that.

Good shot Dave...funny I was just thinking I should have used one of my many lane filtering photos from California....:)
 
..... ...... .......... ............ ........... one of my many lane filtering photos from California....
"Many" you say.
I found to be something difficult to capture, and not a good time to be fussing with a camera (hand held the way I do). SO I got a couple on one afternoon, and said that had to be good enough.
 
This was my view every day for the 2+ years in Colorado that I owned my bike. I lived 28 miles from the far eastern edge of Colorado Springs so I got to see the front range every day and Pikes Peak in particular.
