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.

That is up to you. We don't have to like it. I would rat it since I can't get myself to clean anything. Also being able to make parts work and use what you have is fun.
Just let it rat itself and ride it, but don't let it be unsafe.

If you take a bike and change stuff on it then it is a custom.
If you use spare or non-matching or non-MC parts to replace what is worn out then your bike is evolving into a Rat!

See how stupid they are? And also why I say Dm's bike is not a ratter????
It's just dumb man. Now dirty or grungy may be what you mean and I like a good well done industrial grunge bike look. But rat bikes look like they need a can of gas and a match.

What a tragic waste of time.
Rat and GS1000 don't belong in the same sentence. (except this sentence)

Anyone who has seen pics of your bike knows exactly why you feel this way. You own the ANTI-RAT.KEITH KRAUSE said:

It seems to me that this whole rat thing is an attempt to copy the '50's hot rodders who spent their last dimes on performance upgrades to their old jalopies and had nothing left over for aeshtetics (paint, chrome, etc). They didn't make their rides look rough on purpose. Now we have these newbies in the car world who are purposely making their cars look like crap and it has spilled over into the motorcycle world. It's a cheap immitation of the real thing.
