    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.

I here you ..Just love wet riding ...Im the king on a wet race track ...Shocking how fast a bike will go in the rain and not fall over lol...It sure gets the pucker factor up in the old brain ... The brain just screams "Your gona die ...!!!!!" ... I just give her more gas ...Denial really helps to be fast on a bike that and leaving your brain in the freezer at home when you ride ...But motorcycles are not a rational endeaver on a good day let alone in the rain...:D
 
I remember taking my motorcycle test in the rain... talk about pucker factor. At least if you fall in a parking lot you might get somebody laughing at you but fall on a test and you don't receive your endorsement :eek:

I'm in the middle of taking my BRC this week and 2 of the 4 days has been rain. Nothing like learning to do full lock figure eights in the rain. The good news is though, that it wasn't the first rain of the day. I got caught in a cloud burst one day and all the oil and dirt came up with the initial downpour and it was basically like riding on ice. :eek: Riding in the rain after it's been going for awhile is fine though.
