    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 wonderful wife somehow found pics of some of my old bikes and put together a great father's day photo album gift along with help from my kids. Thought I'd share some with you die hard bike porn gawkers. Excuse the quality as I had to use my digi cam to take shots of the old prints. Remember these were over 20-30 years ago before I had to take a "leave of absence" while raising 6 kids, before getting back into it a few years ago. Hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane.;)

GS750 (last bike before 3rd child was born)

It was a ride on an 850 Commando that got me back into motorcycling after an eight year hiatus.
More pics, please.
 
OK, more....

Be thankful it's not a slide show of my 6 kids!!!

Honda 305 (the beginning of my addiction in 1973)...you gotta like the matching pastel blue factory paint on the forks. What a deal for $100!

Great bikes!

Great bikes!

Great bikes, it's fabulous your wife OK with your riding. Too many say NO WAY! You lost me with the chopper, as a teen I thought they were cool, but now I can see how crappy they handle, and posing, I don't do any more.
Don't get old already.
