    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.

OK, well it seems I just developed a charging issue, had to push start this pig and I rode it home.
Odd mailbox tag is still fair game as I cannot get a new tag.

I snagged a cable off my 850G parts bike....I routed it differently and it made it a lot smoother.....as far as charging.....ugh, prelim. stator/rr tests look fine, have to do a full system test. I have been suspecting a tired battery. Hey, there aint much that ANOTHER 100$ cant fix. Bahaha

A charging issue on a GS??:confused: That's odd.:p

Hope it's an easy fix.:)

Always thought this was kinda goofy, match your mailbox with your toaster, er, I mean VW bus!

Hey everyone, what's the next tag?!

Ha ha! Thanks guys, when I get the S up and running again I'll try to use it in the tags. I wasn't ready for a 'next tag' but I remembered this old fire truck in my neighbourhood. This one is from 1950. It may have been done before, but it is worthy of a repeat if it has.

Next tag - an old fire truck - 60's or older

I go out with camera and snap a pic of this mailbox and get back to find out the new tag is of a old firetruck. :mad: (seeing red)

And I passed one about 60 miles back too! :mad::mad:

Maybe I'll get the tag tomorrow. Oh well...:cool:
 
Not the tag!

Not the tag!

I'll give it the old college try. Going for a much needed ride in the morning and I know where there is a firetruck from the 60s and went by it last weekend. Problem then was I had the bikes (79 750L and wife's 81 550T) on a trailer going to the M/C swap meet to sell them. Didn't think it would count if I parked in front of it and climbed aboard. It's at least an hour away, but it's located in good riding country, in a little drive through town called Yalaha. I think it's a Ford F600 like this one.

Still a cool mail box though.
 
Ah got beat.

Ah got beat.

A 5 hour ride was I guess, 2 hours too long. Good job Zim, well here are mine anyway.
First photo was my target tag, the second one was a, "just happen to go that way", luck find.
A tree nursery was holding a pumpkin patch attraction. Kind of expensive $16.95 for adults and $14.95 for kids, but I think if was an all you can ride event. I saw multiple tractors turned into train rides, the mini air boat ride you can see going by, and the fire truck that went around their property.

Maybe after I get rid of a serious case of monkey butt, I'll get the dozer tag before dark so I can still use my next tag photo from earlier today.

Zim it's your call.

Zim it's your call.

Not sure if this qualifies, but it's the best I could do on short notice. Not really a bulldozer, but not a backhoe with a shovel either. Zim it's your call. No problem if you think it doesn't fit the bill, I had a great long ride today, no complaints.
