    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.

now, i avoid this place at all cost, but does anyone have a problem getting on 75s from 635e? its just that bump right when you are making the curve. it probably seems worse than it is, but im a bit nervous about going over it. ive only been riding a very short time, so i normally dont even attempt the hwy that much, but sometimes, it just happens. any tips would be great. thanks

And that's exactly what I do ... I work at the Park Central plaza just west of the ramp your referring to, and after having survived it once - I won't go near it again on 2 wheels, in fact, I won't go near 75s or 635 period during peak traffic times. Much better to be safe (take another route) than to be extremely sorry :!: :!:
 
I usually just take the... hey, what the...? I'm from New England and we dont have any confusing roads here (yeah, right).
 
I work at Spring Valley and the Tollway in Dallas, I live 65 miles north.. the bike would sure make it nice when it comes to gas mileage, but I have to say that getting on either 635 or 75 during rush hour with 100,000 psychotic, nose pickers, with one hand putting on make-up or shaving, and the other one holding the cell phone firmly to their ear... is simply an act of suicide... yet I see these Harley Riders do it every day without a helmet! NUTS if you ask me..
Safe Riding

yup nutty drivers on 635, was driving there and noticed the guy behind driving with the window shade covering the entire windsheild, looked like he was peeking out of the top to see...all that at 80mph....just thought to myself, look at this frikin weirdo :D
