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.
Yammie Noob takes an '82 1100E (and some modern bikes) to the drag strip

That was fun. Thanks for posting.
I posted this mostly for the pleasure of Rob S. Not just for the bike, but I know that he will also appreciate my use of the article "an" before '82. 
Definitely, heard that after shifting into 2nd and 3rd. Wonder what it would have done w/ a clutch that stayed engaged.

Thanks, but I stopped watching after they said it was a eighth of an mile. In my neighborhood, a drag race is an 1/4 of an mile.
Eight seconds sounds so good until you find out he only ran half the race.
Am I forgetting something??? It's been a long time, but he's talking about, near the end when talking about the Suzuki, trap speed was 88mph. in 4th. I was always on a 1/4 mi. but I sure think I remember at 88mph., I'd still be in 3rd....Dang it, thought I could find top speed per gear on Suzuki GS1100E but can't figure what buttons to push on the computer. Also thought I'd seen it in manual, but it ain't there either.
