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...
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.

yes it,s a street triple.I was the wife,s christmas present last year.It is a lot of fun for short runs but you get a bit saddle sore after a while even with their gel seat it also is equipped with pretty much every option listed including the arrow 3-1 pipe which sounds awesome,i have never heard anything like it.Her old 77 400-4 was a bit lacking with the kids on board so it was time for an update but we kept the old bomb as it will make a great starter for the ladsNow we know the story behind your "amxsteve" name.
The '83 looks great. I don't subscribe to Cycle Canada anymore so please let us know when the Showcase is published.
Is that a Street Triple eyeball i see lurking?
here,s a pic of my 83 all prettied up for a cycle canada showcase feature in an upcoming article.

Nessism, glad you like the looks of it. As far as the comments...
A- I know, but it's a "cruiser" and I don't ride like I stole it.
B- I know, but....... Boy-O-Boy they do sound great!
C- I know, She has been rejetted and runs better than when I got her.
D- I know, ain't it exciting!!
That's what makes the motorcycle world so fun, everyone has their own opinions and ideas of what a bike should look like or be,
and yet we all still get along fine!
Im glad you at least found it fun to look at, and I'll tell ya, it is really fun to ride too!
Thanks for the honesty, Kenny P.
****You gotta admit, it does look much better than when I started!
