    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

60 mph spill

Yeah, 1980GS1000. I don't quite get it. My bike has the big hoopy guards (i really only kept them on for the highway pegs) but my ride took a slight hit on both sides and the gauges! (?) The hiway peg on the other side was bent and that's it. No other damage. Cept my body and my pride, of course. I have very little idea of the calestenics the bike was doing - even less of an idea of what my body was doing. I can't imagine 60MPH.
Don't want to hijack Orgis' thread here so I'll only dump one picture, as opposed to going into full spew mode here -

It all better now though!

Glad you're OK. Org

Yes, I see how that could have happened. The crash bars fitted to your bike are pretty far away from the engine cases. I have no idea how the ones fitted to my bike will hold up, but they are closer to the engine and they are the 3-point type. I hope I never have to find out...
