    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.

Doh!!

Some of you may remember (I try to forget!) when my GS550 broke down in November (?).
Tonight, I went out to look at a few things,(possible bad wires) tinker around, etc. I hooked up battery cables up, and the bike wanted to fire up! No tank, but turned over great. I decided to take out the battery. It was kind of dark outside, and once I got in, it looked like it had very little acid. And, lo and behold, THAT was my problem!
Last weekend, the GPz died on me as well. Same thing. I forget to look at the battery. I just ride it every day taking it for granted.
Lesson Learned!!:-D (A VERY expensive way!!)
 
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, third time we laugh at you behind your back (You've been warned. hehe:oops:)
 
We're not laughing at you. we're laughing with you! Oh wait my mistake..... :-D

Buy some extra insurance, go get you a nice sealed battery.
 
Hmm... now I'm inspired to start a poll and find out what the cool kids do... :-D
