    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.

My 550's Revitalization

  • Start date Start date
So I had a woman pull out in front of me and my bike in 2006 and I proceed to T-bone her F-150 at 40 mph. One of the various things damaged on my person was a contusion to my groin area (I'll spare you any further details). What I'm driving at is if you were to experience a similar event while riding this bike, your body will move forward into the sharp edges at the back side of the gas tank and your junk is going to get ripped off. Sorry to sound alarming but it's a very real possibility. I strongly advise some sort of cover or skid plate for your body to cover up those edges down by the mounting support for the tank. Good luck.
