    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

Congrats rich, improved from 0 to 1, is that 1% or 100% improvement, either way getting better.
 
Way to go Scott!

I skipped this week. I'm on vacation in Florida.
I ment to vote but then got busy. 20240301_142350.jpg
 
Thanks for the votes folks, as for where that road goes, after the curve it goes to the top of a bluff overlooking Lake Barkley. I will post the next theme shortly.
 
OK this week the theme is "What's new". Put up a shot of your most recent bike purchase. This was right after I picked up my 2001 KLR 650 in Northern Alabama 6 years ago.

I still think it’s ugly, but it’s a fantastic machine.

To quote my Buddy Jeff, "When I'm riding it I'm not looking at it".
 
1965 Honda Super Cub. Acquired about 4 years ago. It was going to be a errand bike at the cottage but that cottage never happened. A fun bike to ride.

 
I'll throw a pic in here. May 2001 i bought a 2005 DL650, 35,000klm with suspension upgrades. Has an Elka rear shock kit with a kit in the front using gold emulators with springs to suit an 85kilo rider and me not much heavier, 4kilo's, it rides and handles real well.

most recent mocykl acqusition
2021 (10 days before Brown County) (GK engine dissasembled yet) , just unloaded off the trailer the '09 RT that brought home from the dealer, after '02 RT self-destructed (for the 2nd time).

Why did I get an other RT....?
Cuz the dealer was willing to take the '02 RT off my hands.

Later I figured that was not a "low" seat (like salesman said), it was an "extra Low" seat on a factory Low option bike.
A few weeks later I found a regular seat set to put on it.

Note: Prior acqusitions would be
2015 (02 RT in SanDiego).
2005 (GK & Shadow500).
1994 (850G).
1982 (650G).
1979 (KZ400).

Got-ya day and the first picture I have of the Ninj-ADV 250...

Willa and Daddy built.

Can't call it a purchase because I got it for Free... But I did buy parts to get it up and running so, that counts right?

My latest acquisition at least!
 
The most recent thing I bought, other than tires, was this shiny new crash bar for my beemer. I tend to tip over a bit and this makes me feel much better about it.

I claim the "Jedez" precedence. This bike was given to me out of the blue...no title, plate, or gas tank which contains the gages. I was told that it only had about 250 miles on it and judging by the tires, it's the truth.
