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 like my Dunlops Elites for all around wear and traction (even black ice 8O ).

soft tires are better in wet weather as a rule--I always look for something that is b rated for mileage in adition to proper size-i purchased a battlax because i thought it was B rated but it turned out that it has some sort of dual compound and is only softer on the outer edge--I also wanted a totally b rated tire for better traction at any time. Im not sure what my next tires will be--I have always prefered pirellis for the traction thing and dont know what they are peddling these days.
Can't comment on the black ice, but on wet roads the Metzeler 33/55 combination works very well and seems to stick well on dry.

I had a set of Bridgestone Spitfires installed on my 1980 GS1100E last autumn and rode in rain for two months. They worked well both in the rain and on dry roads.
I wised up and also got Hein Gerrick Boost jacket and pants and SIDI Voyager boots. The Hein Gerrick gear is totally water-proof with removable soft armour. The boots are great. Waterproof and comfortable. No reservations recommending any of the above.
