    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

Rode to Mt St Helens with a bunch of other guys during a PNW rally on my 919. The rear tire was bald but black all around. After a couple hundred miles and being stopped by a state police, ( the whole bunch of us) it was found that the rear had about 6” of cord showing with 50 miles to go. Was a bit scary but made it safely home with Charlie G following. Ne ver got a pic of that one.

I haven't seen threads on a tire since I was 16 and broke. I change tires long before they are due....cheap insurance imo.

We use to count the plys. 4ply tire, heck still have 2 plys left! Good to go.
 
Derelict: adjective; in a very poor condition as a result of disuse and neglect. My submission:

I'm a little ashamed to say that that hazard picture was taken on 11/10/18, and I didn't really notice for a few months.
I finally DID notice on 2/3/19:


One reason I hadn't noticed is that rear tire only had 6,350 miles on it.
But I did start to notice a lack of control.

My front tire right now is in similar shape, that's one reason I haven't ridden lately.

Derelic, huh? Okay, why not, this pic will be my submission.
 
Hurricane + 850 = parts bike. Parts bike + time = derelict

And still in better shape than most of my bikes....LOL....
Maybe?
She's old, broken bits, on allot second parts, rust, scratched and faded, She doesn't look 3 years old anymore. But than again it is the most miles I've put on one bike and intend to keep it forever.
 
Unfortunately have to use an old photo but the derelict "pirate ship" just outside of town is a nice backdrop for the '66 CB160.
