    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.

    Bandit 1200 Yoshimura Special

    The air/oil cooled Bandits don't have a weakness. Really!, they don't. Or at least I've been unable to find one. heh I went from a 85 GS 1150EF (was trouble free once I got it sorted out) to the current Bandit. The B12 is a lot like a upgraded 1150. Maintenance is very similar. Handling...

    Bandit 1200 Yoshimura Special

    I have a 2003 Bandit 12S with 85K miles on it. All except the first 800 miles are mine and all maintenance has been done by me. The bike has required nothing other than routine maintenance for 17 years. I check valve clearances every 20k miles, however no adjustments have been needed in...

    Friday night in New York City

    Grom's are ok. Basically a moped//bicycle that lost it's pedals. LOL One thing that does bug me though is calling a scooter a moped. It it doesn't have pedals and can not be pedaled, it's a scooter. If it has pedals, it's a moped.

    New threads that are deleted

    I don't know why anyone would try to make a big deal out of it. If you were to insist on running square, solid rubber tires, I would say that's fine with me. LOL You go right ahead. eh

    90 degree screwdriver

    \ If you buy a screwdriver at harbor freight, there is no need to heat it to bend it. NO, I'm not being facetious or snarky about that. LOL I have bent many of them by accident. heh On the other hand, if you need to drill a hole around a corner, their drill bits also bend very well. LMAO

    90 degree screwdriver

    I take a 1/4" closed end wrench and hot melt glue a 1/4", short hex sided screwdriver bit into the closed end. It works particularly well if you have a 1/4" racheting wrench. If there is a bit more space, a 1/4" rachet with a 1/4" socket to hold a short driver bit also works.

    What is it like to own a motorcycle in Wisconsin ?

    Also known as the drive in version. Everyone gathers around and they show movies on it. LOL

    For sale, a horror story.

    I don't allow test rides anymore. I quit after two consecutive prospective buyers crashed my bikes, then told me the were going to pass on the sale and refused to pay for the damages either. Even if the terms are cash in hand to test ride, if they crash it and say they have changed their mind...

    GS650G Handle bars

    I've swapped to lower bars on every GS I've had and haven't needed to shorten cables. I will warn you if you're considering clubman bars though. I tried them and found they were intolerably uncomfortable for more than a 15 minute ride a round the block. I settled on Grand Prix bars as being...

    If had any idea what they would be worth today, we would have kept them.

    Another sign of what is ahead for the motorcycle hobby...

    I rode a bicycle everywhere until I was old enough to get a driver's license. My parents didn't ferry me anywhere.
