    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.

Looks like a few wet days ahead

Looks like a few wet days ahead and luckily I've found a good place to set up camp with a covered work area to finish off a little bit more of the deferred maintenance on the bike I picked up around the first of the year

As for everyone else THIS has become my absolute favorite YouTube channel, a guy in The Ukraine who builds his own bikes and parts with nothing more than an angle grinder, drill press, and old salvaged lathe and stick welder.

He just posted a video yesterday of a running VTWIN engine he built from scrap metal! It's a four part series that'll take a good hour to watch all the way through. Luckily he has other projects such as a frame and springer front end he made out of household gas pipe, cobbling an ignition off an old tractor to work on his Dnepr and other stuff as well

Here's a three minute introduction video as to who he is and what he does, damn I wish we where in the same continent so I could drop by to meet him.

 
I watched the engine build series. He said he doesn't care about the longevity at this point.. but man I couldn't believe how he was just hunkered right over that thing as he got it running and was testing it, with the valve covers off and flywheel spinning right by his jewels!! Safety third, I guess!!
 
I guess that's one of the positive aspects of living in the poorest county in Europe during a war, there's nobody there to tell you you can't or shouldn't do something you love!
