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.
The 550 is nice, but I want to know more about that '67 GTO sitting in there..what's the story and plan for that baby..?
It currently has a '69 400 out of a Catilina I drove for a couple of years. It's been in storage for the last 15 years, awaiting a full restoration. I had a minor fender bender just before I parked it for good. I currently have it up for sale, listed on Orlando CList.
Thanks, cosmetically it's in pretty good shape. As soon as I can finish up dismantiling the 750ex I'm going to go over it. I had it almost running when I was checking it out, but i didn't wan't to do too much. A non-running bike is alot cheaper than one that does.
That's a good looking 400e, there is one on the cheap in southwest Fl. I thought of looking into, but they are just a little to small for me. That and the fact that I have way too many projects now and I'm broke keep me from doing so.cleaned up! (suits me from a distance anyways..) just before the first ride this bike has had in a long while...really runs smooth though rich on one cyl and tires are needed !
It's a rare '67 Post Coupe or Sedan, with the Hurst His/Hers slap shift shifter. I saved it from a junkyard, my buddies dad ran back in '82. My self bought H.S. graduation present. Bought it for $400, it had a blown 400 in it (cracked block, the PO rode it hard). I did a partial resto and drove it till the front end got a little too sloppy and I spun a bearing in a 455 I had in it. Too much beer and not enough oil.
Good to hear, I sent you a couple of emails, but no responce. Thought maybe you went up north and was visiting family. I mainly bought the '81 750ex for the engine and a possible bike for Bonnie. Even though I hate the thought of parting out a bike with an open title(N.C.), if it was a 1100ex I wouldn't, but it needs to much invested in it for me to mess with. Butt ugly seat, ape hanger like handle bars, filter box missing, cut/broken rear shocks, this and that, better to help out the hive. It does have an almost mint tank, tail and one good rt. side cover. The tank fits on the '80 1000S(cooley), but just isn't right, so I'm willing to trade for a 79 or '80 1000 tank if a member wants to.
The other bike is an '81 550t that was a steal at $200. I need to replace the starter, a little wireing, cut a new stator gasket, carb cleaning, and fork seals, but I'm going to try changing the fluid first. It came with a cover and a Clymers. I just did most of the same work on an identicle bike for the local guy that bought my '77 750 cafe project. I got the tank and cafe seat/tail back from the guy that bought it from him. He turned it into a bobber and has sold it again. I missed out on a cheap but nice '80 1000G that you might have seen on CL around xmas. It was missing the carbs. A new member here (blueplatespecial) bought it, so it's all good. As far as room goes, I have moved three of the projects out back for working room. Yeah I know they are all projects. lol I'll have the 550t done in a weekend, it's that nice.
The '65's look better IMHO. Especially one with a tri-powered 421 out of a 2+2.
