    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.

Sputters and dies...

Went on a great ride last week that started out with a whimper...as less than 5 miles from home the bike sputtered and died. Are we havin' fun yet? It felt like fuel starvation and that was the problem. I had filled the tank at a gas station that had very slow pumping fuel and I was afraid their storage tanks were almost empty and I got a tank of watery gas or one with sediment/rust. To look at the fuel filter on my bike I unbolted the tank and noticed the vacuum line had split at the end and was no longer connected to the nipple on the petcock. No vac, no fuel flow and no carb operation. A snip of the bad end and away we go.
So, if your bike ever sputters and dies you might check this out if you haven't replaced the vacuum line recently.
