    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...

  • 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.

Put your bikes on youtube?

I saw a guy do the whole song, We Are the Champions, but using the odd noises and clicks that everyday devices make. Old devices, like dot matrix printers and the like. Seventies and eighties "vintage" technology. I'm not talking about recording these sounds and editing them together. He had a whole room full of them, and programmed an electrical board to make them operate in such a way so that the sounds they made during operation played the song. Who does that?

Here's something similar, but with electronics that actually make sound. The hobby is called circuit bending. They alter the electrical signal to make the toy make different sounds/pitches. I'm pretty sure you have to be a crazy person to try this sort of thing. Here's a video!

they're called Bosozoku:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bōsōzoku

Japanese motorcycle culture (wouldn't call them a gang, the way they're fascinated by anime and ride dinky gsx400's)

The licensing in Japan makes it so that smaller bikes are the mandatory starting displacement for new riders and riders must honor the law to be granted the use of larger motorcycle displacement. These guys don't care for the law so they're limited to their small 400cc inline fours and style them according to the manga anime influences... which looks absolutely absurd by american standards!
