    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.

This replica is called the "Planx Norton" and sold for ?22600! at auction in the UK late last year. Every part is hand made by by Halifax based enthusiast Barry Milner, this exquisite, life-size wooden model of a Manx Norton took five years and a total of 664 hours to complete. It is made with a mixture of woods with no stain used on any part. Just look at the detail, even a fake drip of wooden oil. Now there's a man that should get out more often!!!

Did you see the PINKS where a guy with an old GS took home a new high$ harley VRod? Got a good laugh when I saw that.
Definately a good laugh. Especially when it would never happen in real life!\\:D/
 
It's not a motorcycle, Sure It resembles one, It's a rolling condemmed firehazard of a menace. Now as sculpture It's fine. But road worthy? Never.
 
While riding bicycles with my wife, we saw a guy riding a homemade recumbant style bike w/matching trailer made out of what looked like mostly two by fours. Looked okay, but kinda on the heavy side.

Yeah true! in real life it would have been over after the second round, the GSer would have taken the Harley home then.
