    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.

Thanks for the heads up, bud! :o When I started going through my head and the decals on the various bikes, it became an "assumption", that Suzuki had beaten Ford to the punch on the "Tornadic activity", within the cylinder.

Wouldn't ya know... Suzuki had had it for over a decade, by the time the "Bright Ones" at Ford, caught on... :cool:

Thanks again, Steve. ;)

I'm not sure that is entirely accurate. I worked in the manufacturing community for years, and the bean counters rule. If they cannot be shown quality proof that it will increase profits, it will be tabled. Unless the govt. mandates it over the protests of the lobbyists.

Here is my email conversation with him...not sure if I overstepped, but in my experience the majority CL sellers in Vancouver/Victoria/Lower Mainland are just so freakin' unrealistic about the value of goods. His response is in blue

It is in fully running condition. The work it needs is minor.

So THIS is worth 3k?

> I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but you are going to have a really hard time selling your bike at that price. If you want to sell it before winter sets in and you start running into problems with winterizing it for storage, you should probably have another look around to see what a more appropriate selling price. If it sits in that condition over the winter, you are going to have a lot more work to do on it in the spring
