    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.

Wow! Thanks guys. That's a lot of votes and great turn out last week. This week how about a work in progress. Probably done befote but for me new ideas are getting pretty slim. I was thinking of a Christmas theme but couldn't get the bike in the house and under the tree. LOL.

In case this picture doesn't make sense... It's a very dirty GS1000E tank full of kerosene and nuts and bolts and brass fittings, being spun in a cement mixer. After that it was given a POR15 treatment and is working well to this day.
 
Making some progress (and some frustration)
yyyHB1t.jpg


Progress was getting two pistons in the sleeves, and getting cyclinders to lower - some.

Frustration was that cylinder not lowereing any more.

Found that cam chain tangled up beside the tensioner guide, and then both stuck in cam chain tunnel. So had lift up cylinders to fuss with that situation, then I put bungie cord (can see there) to hold back the tensioner guide.
THen got cylinders a little further down, but stuck on something again (occassion of this photo).
Took me a long while to figure out that with the tensioner guide held back by bungie cord, then the top end of the tensioner guide was stuck in the hole there for the tensioner . . . . Dhoah

So that is actaully a picture of "Work In Not-Much-Progress".

Other progress, was the idea progressing that the reason I have bikes is NOT so that I can work on them.

Hey Roger....
Pretty sure it's Thursday, but maybe we decided to move up a day because of the holiday? :D
 
Did I miss something? Did we decide to put the voting up on Thursday because of Christmas Eve on Friday? I'm not opposed to the idea. Just was't sure.

I'll vote for gustovh's contraption. I'd ride in it.
