    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.

    I Don't Know What The Story Is . But It's Got To Be A Good One .

    Okay I worded that poorly . The " front end of the bike stopped " the back end kept going ..... And once the back end overtook the front end of the bike . Both bike and rider were airborne ..... Didn't you ever slam on your front brake when you were riding a bicycle as a kid ?

    I Don't Know What The Story Is . But It's Got To Be A Good One .

    We're all just speculating here . But there are loads of videos describing what happens during a panic stop on a motorcycle. And I can personally remember a few incidents in my youth on a bicycle where I got launched over the handlebars due to using the front brake only . The consensus among the...

    I Don't Know What The Story Is . But It's Got To Be A Good One .

    It's possible doing things wrong may have saved the rider's life. Had his instincts to brake involved using both brakes he would have slid at speed into the vehicle . Hitting the front brake first launched him over the vehicle where the road would decelerate his impact by him sliding or bouncing...

    I Don't Know What The Story Is . But It's Got To Be A Good One .

    It's beyond my skill set but I'm sure someone could do a speed calculation from the video . I'm thinking some serious speed may have been involved. Based on the brake stand launch and the amount of force it would take to launch the bike that high once it landed on the hood and started it's slide...

    I Don't Know What The Story Is . But It's Got To Be A Good One .

    It's sort of similar to what happened to you Don. Except this guy got the front end stopped before hitting the vehicle ..... He just didn't get the back end stopped .....,.

    I Don't Know What The Story Is . But It's Got To Be A Good One .

    Yeah ..... BCTV News, CBC News, City News, and Global News, all got together and hired a crane to put a bike up on a traffic light .... Then they hired some guy and beat the snot out of him to simulate traffic accident injuries..... This isn't rocket science . Because the video happens fast...

    I Don't Know What The Story Is . But It's Got To Be A Good One .

    There's only one bike ..... They left the brake stand in to show how it flipped over on to the hood of the car and then somehow making it's way upward . Which does explain why there is no damage to the forks or front wheel ......

    I Don't Know What The Story Is . But It's Got To Be A Good One .

    It's a weird one . If the collision caused the bike to go airborne { and I mean seriously airborne } why aren't the forks and wheel bent ?

    Local Artist Playing In Kits

    Haven't seen Harry play in a few years now . But he is my favorite local artist. He plays an instrument called a Mohan Veena, a slide guitar sitar cross ..... I once went to the shop in Kolkata where it was made . About 30 years ago . The instrument wasn't expensive { about $300 } but...

    THIS is a big step forward

    I'm 73 .... While in the liquor store recently I noticed the girl in front of me being " carded " .... Being a smart a$$ I asked the salesperson why she didn't ask for my I.D. ? ... Her reply was ... " I'm sorry sir, but we don't have any senior's sales this week " ,,,, Best comeback I've heard...

    THIS is a big step forward

    Not that I've got anything against the idea .... But how the Hell is that going to work ? Are smokers going to have to provide I.D to prove they were born before January 1 2009 every time they buy a pack of smokes ? ...... Sounds like a logistical nightmare ......

    Landmark moment in music!

    I think you are spot on with your Asian analogy ..... There is an instrument played by one of our local musicians called the " Mohan Veena " a slide guitar/sitar hybrid that I think may be a good example of crossing the bridge .... It gained some note through " Vishwa Mohan Bhatt " the...

    Landmark moment in music!

    In recognition of Lab3's " I said it first " comment..... I realize commenting on the micro-tonal aspect once he has done so is evidently " verboten " .... I really must brush up on my discussion protocols ..... I really had no idea there was a "once said can't discuss " rule out there ...

    Landmark moment in music!

    One thing I did find interesting .... Play the video again and then pause it as soon as you see a close up of the guitar fret board ..... It isn't a normal guitar fret arrangement . It's micro-tonal .... A normal guitar fret board is divided up into semitones . This one is divided up into...

    I'm still trying to assess the " streaming " experience ..... I too have a preference for vinyl. To the extant I have spent a lot of money on it { I'm one of those nuts that spends thousands on speaker wire } .... With vinyl the purchase of an ultrasonic cleaner { Humminguru Nova } .... And...
