    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...

    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.

Be careful with that, it's a big fine in most places. They get all uppity about you keeping your money instead of giving it to the state. I have been pulled over by a GS expert before. I was on the right bike at the time but that's not always the case. :eek:

Go early, there are several po po free hours after sunrise before the cops leave the donut shop. Empty Interstates are cool, you can slow way down and then wind it out repeatedly without attracting any attention. Any road away from a city should be clear early, especially on a weekend.

Edit, Canadian! At least get insurance on it, I hear not having any is a really big deal up there!

Here in Ontario you firat have to change ownership . Then you have to bring it to a licensed shop and pay them $100 bucks to tell you ya yourbike appears to be safe to ride .. then back to get plates and a sticker , which ends up being another $100 ...
Already called my insurance company and im going from $1400 a yr on my 650 to $2200 a yr to insure the 1000 ...

Here in Ontario to get your bike lic you have to do 3 tests !! First one a written test .. if you pass you now aloud to drive on any street below 80k/hr no passengers and zero alc...oh but not afterthe sun sets and an hr after the sun rises ...
Then you do yourfirst driving test in which you cant do until after 3 months , they get you to pull out from amall parking lot , drive through the intersection , turn into the plaza , turn around in theparking lot , then pull out of mall merge into traffic , then come back all while some guy watches from the corner !!!
Now your allowed to ride at nite and have a passenger and whooowho you can now drive faster then 80 k/hr and go on the highways . Butstill not allowed to have alc in the system ..
After 1 yr you can book your final test ..then they give you ahead set and some moron follows behind you in a car telling you where to turn and what to do ...

Canada what a great place !!

I guess they incorporated this system cuzz any 16 yr old could run out and buy abikeand do a written test before then jup out on the street on the crotch rocketmommy and daddy just bought them ...
 
Paid $1200 for the bike !! $2200 a yr for insurance !!!

PARDON ME !!! :eek:

I'm still trying to figure Ontario out. No government insurance, it's all supposedly free enterprise. I pay $220 for the 1100 { Collector Plated, only restrictions can't drive to work or school } and I'm covered up the Yin Yang....One million liability and two million un-insured.... I think part of that Ontario insurance is registration but not sure ? If it is, politicians in Ontario apparently have a hard on for motorcycles....
