    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.

I fabbed a license plate hanger that mounted sideways:

I was alerted by a couple very friendly officers that this isn't legal in Michigan. They also informed me of a couple other things I was doing that weren't exactly legal. But, since is was such a nice day, and they didn't want to ruin my ride, they let me go with a warning. Turns out they are a couple of Honda riders.

Anyway, I am bringing this up because I have seen plenty of other riders in Michigan (my cousin being one) with sideways mounted plates, so I assumed they were legal. Well, they're not. So anyone thinking about doing this should check their local laws.
 
Hi,

Well, that's inconvenient. At least the LEO was good enough to let you off with a warning. Most of the time the plate has to be lighted too.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Yeah, you also need lights. I had them, I just hadn't installed them.

These cops were definitely being cool, and it was more of a "get your bike legal before a less cool cop pulls you over" kind of stop.
