    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

New and old huh? The venerable Kawasaki KLR was produced and sold from 1986 to 2018, Generation 1 being 86-2007 and Gen 2 being 2008 to present. Here is my 2002 in the front and a friend's 2016 in the rear. Old and New.

Too tight Steve...If the red package in the foreground was in focus, it would make more sense.

Had the best time at Scout Camp last week. I have done at least one week of camp every year since 2008 or so when my now 18 yr. old Eagle Scout was a Wolf Cub Scout. So I'm going to post a pic from camp even though I don't own the machine I was riding, and you can only see a small bit of the rear fender, and it's a quad, not a motorcycle per se. The powers-that-be can feel free to DQ my pic, that's OK. Goose Pond Scout Reservation has an ATV program for scouts 14 and over. So Noah, being 14, was really excited to get to do this. I was really excited to be able to ride a quad with his group on Friday because one of the other scouts (unfortunately for him, fortunately for me) had to leave camp that morning. Noah loves to ride my GS with me, but this is the first time we've ever gotten to ride separate machines, together. After 4 days of instruction on a course, (and an hour "crash-course" for me), we did a trail ride on Friday. We had a blast! Certainly not the scout camp of my youth.
My submission, if allowed: OLD-Me | New-Noah

I had intentions of juxtaposing the NOS gas tank in the foreground with the crappy one with bad bodywork, bad paint, and bad gas still in it that is in the back. Instead I became seduced by what I consider to be some nice lines on the tanks.
This is the first time I've seen that tank in about two years. Its still like opening a present every time. I looked looked on the shipping tag on the box.... I've had it since 2005, still awaiting the day that my bike is worty of installing it...

Ok...always liked this pic...near my house on a fall day...lot of horses in my hood :)

Old mode of transportation and new mode... :)

 
An old steel bridge originally built in 1933 carrying Route 66 over the Rio Puerco (pig river) West of Albuquerque. This bridge was replaced with the new boring design on the left of the pic here, and made obsolete when I-40 rolled through the area in the late 50's.

 
Here's a picture taken in 2008 somewhere on the California coast. Two flagship 1000cc Suzukis, mine from 1979 and my buddies from 2007. They've changed a bit over the years and yes touring on a GSXR1000 ....ouch.
