    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.

If I take the tank off to paint I can't ride, winter painting in the cellar ?
I'll get to it I guess, if you squint the paint lools pretty good.

Paint it, sit in that chair and watch it dry or ride it?

I say trash the chair!
 
Keep your eye open for another set of bodywork. That way you wont be rushed to do a proper job. Then you can learn all the painting tricks, from the first job, to make the second set perfect.
 
All good suggestions.
Ride, look for extra parts, paint extra parts, ride. Mmmm
 
Ride 1 of the other 2 in the picture--take your time and paint it right--then ride it!:cool:
 
I paint in the off season...and since we don't really have one my bike looks like dirt. I'm okay with it, though.
 
In NH I'm sure the winters get pretty cold so you want to ride during the summer as much as possible. Try to watch the weather as best as possible and do what you can. Either way, you'll lose a few days of riding so make it to where it's weather related after you paint it.
 
I spent the last few months fixing dents in the tank and repairing a sidecover for paint, got that done last month those got painted and are up and ready for riding, in the fall the bike gets broke down for a frame repaint and rims get done then.
