    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.

I had a simular problem just the other day. I was working on a bike ripping into the carbs. Well, like always, I had my little tub of STRONG carb cleaner next to me on the bench where I was working and just then, my elbow knocked two of the Diaphragm/Slide assembly's right into the carb cleaner. You guessed it, the diaphragms are now a jelly goopy mess. That was a nice trip to the bone yard for replacements.

You know how when you lose something, it always turns up in the last place you think of looking? Why not look there first and save yourself half an hour.........
 
I think all of you do better than me. No mechanic, everytime I try working on anything more than putting on a new clutch cable or adjusting the chain, I have to take it to Bill's and pay him more money. Last year I gave him $138 for something I screwed up while doing an oil change. I still change my own oil, but carefully now.

And earlfor, thirty years ago I did a three point landing in a demonstration in front of a review stand with four Marine generals. The three points, however, were heel, butt and the back of my head.
 
I was just thinking smugly that I hadn't done anything dumb.......but I had just conveniently forgotten. A few years ago I did a pre-ride oil check and top up. A couple of hours, and many miles later, in the mountains, I noticed oil on my right boot......no oil filler cap. I had put it on the engine casing and never screwed it back in. Gone forever. Had to use a rubber bung until I could buy a new one. :oops:

I also regularly put all my gear on, including gloves, before I discover that the m/c keys are in a pocket inaccessible to a gloved hand. Less regularly, I ride away without having done up the helmet buckle.

Please help me formulate a pre-ride check list. :? Let's see:
1) keys in ignition
2) helmet buckle done up
3) sidestand up
4) flies zipped up :oops:
5) garage door open
6) wife?....what did I do with my wife? :?
 
:-) :-) :-) Yeah, I hate those three point landings. eh eh I think the worst impact I ever received was the day the ripcord jammed and I couldnt open the main parachute pack. I rolled over on my back at 120 mph and deployed the chest mounted reserve. It opened so hard and fast that the soles of both my boots left footprints on the back of my helmet. :-) -)
