    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.

W3 aka Widdle Wed Wocket as I found her at the salvage yard. I love a challange. I have more pictures but it has taken me six weeks to get up the courage to try to get a picture on the forum. If this works I'll try some more. Pete is going to be so proud of me!

Jeep,
Were you able to view the pic; I couldn't open it. I have a pretty high powered security system here at the office but I don't know if that would affect it? If my wrenching skills were no better than my coputer skills. I'd get a little shovel and bucket and go play in the sand box.

tkent02,
I have my Photobucket account set up and have loaded 20+ pics to it. I tried uploading one to the forum but it was really big and I could not open it from the post; I don't know if any of you were able to. I have a new camera and I got in to the menu and rest the pic size. There is also a way to resize pics right in Photobucket; I'll try to upload a resized pic to my build thread this morning and see how it works. If all fails, I'll post the bucket link and password till I get this all worked out.I've been wrenching and riding 'em for 50 yrs. but when it comes to using the forum, loading pics etc. I am definitely a newbie!
Niels
 
Hey Niels, glad to see you've finally got a thread up! :D

Your Photobucket album may be set to private? That would stop it showing up...
 
Pete,
Good to see you back. You may have solved the mystery. My bucket is set on private but I didn't think that would affect uploads to the forum.
Thanks, Niels
 
Billy,
Thanks; I discovered that yesterday and hope to have time to resize them and get a few up today. Looks like you guys are going to drag me, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century.

If I can do it anyone can. I just got my first smart phone a few weeks ago so I hear ya.
 
Billy,
Thanks for the encouragement; I got an iPhone about the same time. A year ago, I was given a HTC Aria. After a month and a half, I gave it to my neighbor who is a computer nerd. The iPhone is infinitely more user friendly. I tried getting some pics up but got frustrated; I'll work on it this weekend. In the mean time, if you are curious, my bucket account is "ndaugbjerg's album" and I changed the security at Pete's suggestion. Let me know if you should succeed in having a look.
Niels

I just noticed you're located on the edge of God's country. I assume that's the Texas hill country?

Pete,
Your guess was right; The security was set to private. I made another attempt to get some pics up but got frustrated. I'll try again this weekend. In the meantime, it is "ndaugbjerg's album"

You got it, I'm in San Antonio. Come on over and ride sometime. Tried searching for your album on Photobucket and got no results.
 
Billy,
I don't knowwhat's wrong, but I'll work on it this weekend. Thanks for the invite but I probably won't ride from Seabrook to San Antonio. I have been thinking about going up to Alan Johncock's museum in Vanderpool and parking the trailer there. I thought a ride around that area would be fun and some of Alan's Australian meat pies for lunch. I could easily swing thru S.A. and pick you up. My bike is a cafe project and even if it weren't I'm not sure this 72 yr. old body is still up to that distance.

I've been to the museum several times and the Johncock's are both very nice people. The roads in that area are second to none and you see very little traffic out there other than other bikes. If you trailer the bike over let me know and I'll meet you at the museum. Breakfast enchilada's are in order at the OST in Bandera too.
 
Billy,
You think with your stomach too! A shame it's so far but the Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls puts out a great breakfast also. I'm anxious to get something on the road. I had some medical issues abt. 3 yrs. ago and laid my bike down a couple of times.Turns out, it was a middle ear problem and the Doc at the VA sent me to WalMart for some Meclazine (4 1/2 cents a tablet) and no more problem. In the interim I put my Triumph Trophy 900 in CycleTrader and sold it to a guy in Seattle in 36hrs. Should have waited till I knew what my problem was.
Niels.
 
John,
Thanks. I feel like the village idiot but Billy reassures me that I too can learn this. I'll keep trying.
Niels
