    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'm sure the 100+ temps aren't helping much. ATGATT is a b___h on days like this. I see too many r-tards out with shorts and tanks with sandals on their bikes. I'm not going to be one of them.

That said I think I may have to do some sweating this weekend because I'm jonesing for a ride.

I hate to admit it but I'm one of those tards. Tees and shorts, but icksnay on the flops. I'd pass out of heatstroke in gear down here. 100% humidity, first you poach your melon, fall over then you fry like an egg in a pan on the tarmac. I do wear my helmet though. I'm not completely retarded just a little bit.

Not trying to call anyone here out. I'm too new to the scene to be getting too lippy (I still need to get some Kevlar jeans) but I have no doubt that needing skin grafts is worse than sweating.

I'm probably just cranky because I'd rather be riding than working right now.
 
No gear here. I dont ride very aggressive though. Not saying I can't or won't go down. All of that gear just takes too much of the "ride" away. If it's my time, it's my time. Death can't be cheated.

Does a photo in front of my own house count? I don't have to ride very far for that...

EDIT- wait a minute, the landlord replaced the red clay tiles LAST year...doh!

It can't be cheated, but it can be prevented prematurely, that being said, I don't wear ATGATT but should, I'm not naive enough to believe it doesn't help. It's funny how we all sometimes try to justify dangerous activity, even as we get older and know better, I guess riding a bike shouldn't have to be one of those activities that is considered dangerous, but thanks to other motorist...

Not an attack on you spyder, just making a point even I'm guilty of:rolleyes:

That being said, I won't be back in the game for approx another 4-5 days or so, just brought momma home from her final surgery, she had to have a pain stimulator installed for her several issues relating to her spine.

[soapbox]As an ex ABATE member who fought helmet laws for years, let me just say, you're just fooling yourself...:p

I use to think the same way, (except for the "it's my time" thing, that's just silly;))...
I rode no helmet, no gear for 20 years...then I went drag racing and was required to wear gear...
After a couple of season wearing full leathers, boots, gloves and helmet...(even if it was 100?)...It became comfortable and I became uncomfortable riding without it...

I always wear full gear now, including armored over-pants, so does my wife and anyone that gets on my bike....everyone I ride with does too...

It's not about riding aggressively...it's just about riding...[/soapbox]

That said, do what you want...it's your body...:D
BTW...a good mesh jacket letting the air flow, yet protecting you from the sun, is actually cooler than wearing only a t-shirt...seriously.

OK...carry on:lol:
 
I do ride with a good riding leather, but only when it's cool enough. I actually prefer to ride with it, just not when it's this hot.
 
Help, someone get a red roofed residence before we derail this thread any further! :cool:

New tag will be the city sign entering your town or city.

Wow Sandy.
I don't remember what your bike looked like as it was always just a blur zipping along! :D :cool:

Eric
 
All our towns run into one another around here so much they can't make enough signs. How about a neighborimg town that has only a couple of roads in and out. Somebody should have this one before I get off work tomorrow anyway.
