    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.

Random Photo thread

Just because it's a cool photo. Road racing in early 1980's New Zealand. The super rare Katana 1100SXZ doing what Suzuki built it to do.

Cool photo is right!
I know they weren't imported to North America but i would still like to see one of the spoked wheel Kats in person.
 
Here is a rare Katana. It's actually a prototype. The rear tail section is made out of wood!
It is from Katana Ken's collection in Painesville Ohio (Cleveland).
If we could get a small group together, I could possibly make arrangements to visit Ken and his collection.

Found this Monument in the Obion River bottoms of Tennessee. I had heard of the event but found the monument just wandering in the boonies today.
 
Been a while since I posted sunset/pier photo.
THis from the other evening.

I will admitt, doesnt take a lot of photographic talent. THe biggest factor is just to be there on occassion of an interesting sunset. And being in an intersting position to provide an interesting view.
(and, as I have said before, does help to have telephoto lens, and manaul exposure control.)

later note: oh, pewieee,... spots on the sensor..... (maybe I'll edit those out....)
