    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

So now that it's Iron Butt time (sort of like the Olympics!), I find myself thinking about really long distance riding. Heck, if the current issue of Motorcycle Escape has a sidebar about someone who rode to Hyder to be a witness for Ron Ayers on an old GS 1000 with a Vetter fairing -- it's got me thinking about what my 850 and I can do.

The problem is, the gentleman and the bike in question got press coverage because they hit a moose on the way. (The man survived, the bike got the Steve Austin treatment, the moose went the way of all venison.)

So, there are lots of different hazards all over the continent that I just don't know what to do about. Can we share troubles and deal-skills?

* The Great Plains: you suddenly see the mother of all thunderstorms coming your way. In NJ, I'd just pull over into the local 7-11, Starbucks, or Wawa parking lot. But what if cover is miles away?

* The Great Plains: same as above, but with a funnel cloud.

* PA: Same as above, but with a funnel cake. (Wait, funnel cake I can handle.)
 
Yes, i can handle funnel cakes as well. Just find me at the NY State fair....

But seriously, what are people doing to help our countrymen who have lost their homes and livelihoods due to the hurricane?

I am at least going to donate some money.

Matt
