    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.

ok here is whats up. i had my bike fixed and running perfect after all these months of work. then what happens. my friend (who is liscenced and owns 2 bikes of his own) rides it right into the curb before he even gets out of the cul de sac and flies over the handelbars. now he has two broken ribs and my bike isnt running. i am not sure exactly what the problem is. the bike fell on its right side and the ignition cover got cracked. i just got a new cover today and i cant get it on. im not very experienced w/ bikes but ill do my best to explain the problem. first i removed the old cover. under it was a long screw that was not really screwed into anything. it is in a hole but when i turn the screw, it doesnt go anywhere. it wont screw in and since it wont screw in the screw sticks out to far to get the new cover on.i cant figure out how the old cover fit with the screw like this, and i am not really sure if any of this has anything to do with my bike not starting. the engine just wont turn over when i try to start it. i hope this was all clear enough. any help would be great. thanx again.
