    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.

I went on this killer ride Sunday. Four and a half hours (mapquest.com says it should be five) and you can see by the map (link) that it was all about the twistys! There was two or three miles on Sheep Ranch road that was really rough--just a road of patches, but the hairpins and elevation changes keep you too busy to complain much. The rest was very smooth.

I tried to figure out how to embed the map but I guess it won't work for forums--or I just don't know what I'm doing. Here's the link:

I need a GoPro type camera with a long lasting battery and hard drive that is, well, much cheaper than GoPro. Much.
 
Lucky you. I went out today and put in 211 miles with no twisties any tighter than about a 30 mph posted curve. What a drag:(.

Wish I had a go pro to show the best road I have to ride. It' only about 3 miles long with some mediocre curves in it. And to make matters worse, it is 30-35 miles to get to it.

It really sux living here in the flatlands.

I drove through Nebraska on Hwy 80 11 years ago from Detroit where I picked up a car through Ebay. I don't remember a curve of any kind on that stretch but there was a great classic rock radio station that stayed with me through the entire state.
 
That looks kinda like the ride ive been plotting on google.
 
Well just got a head light and turn signals to put on, and salty monk kit. and my cbr needs an engine reinstalled

I guess I'll have to see what a salty monk kit is. Do you have a link so I don't have to look through every thread that has "salty" or "monk" or "kit" in it?
 
Salty Monk is a person (forum name) and he made adapters to allow the use of Kawasaki's twinpot brakes on our forks. You can do a search on twinpot to get more information
