    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.

    anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

    Went for a nice ride couple of days ago with some buddies to one of my favourite places. Kootenay Pass in south eastern BC. About 100 miles from the house. Great scenery in the summer, brutal in the winter though. 20240822_112218 by soates50, on Flickr 20240822_113034 by soates50, on Flickr

    1100 630 chain slack problems

    Problem with not changing sprockets at the same time as a worn chain is that the new chain doesn't properly fit the worn sprockets. Especially the rear being a larger sprocket. What happens because of the chain not seating properly in the sprocket is you get tight spots when the rides high on...

    Friday afternoon safety meeting.

    Nice. Which way are you headed? Curious whether or not you can make down here or not. Personally I'd get out of the area as temps are going well into the 30s C this week.

    Pick up ride to Fort Kent

    I've done a number of 1,000 mile days, the last one was on my GS1000. Great seat, definitely an all day motorcycle. Looks like you've got it pretty much figured out. The only thing I do different is every gas stop get off for at least 5 minutes. Last one was in 85F - 90F temps so I was...

    Great photos and trip reports Trevor, but seriously, is Eddy McStiffs closed? WTF!!!

    Body work ID??

    Check the serial number against this chart. It's somewhat accurate pre-production numbers from Suzuki. The start numbers for a year may be off a bit but otherwise should be pretty close. If you still have the frame label on the steering head anything produced after July 1978 would be a 1979 as...

    Now that is cool! I grew up in the beaches area of Toronto and spent many nights staring across the lake at the glow of the lights of Rochester NY but never saw anything like that. You were probably standing near were I was looking. I've witnessed that in the Nevada desert on Hwy 50 though.

    Wacky vin!?

    If you don't already know single disk and dual disk configurations use different parts for both the calipers and master cylinder.

    Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 - Thoughts?

    I think you'll love that bike in either version. My brother and a local friend here bought the 390 KTM Adventure a few years ago and just love the balance of power and lightweight which is quite comparable to the Triumph. That bike has pretty much become their daily rider. They are very user...

    Solution for cracked plastics?

    I managed to build one good fairing out of three bad ones for FZ750 way back when. Worked great, even survived being tossed down the road.

    Great photo Bob, love the shadows, looks like a fun place. As we got our first snow of year today and we have a 400 mile drive tomorrow through the mountains to go visit our granddaughters. I'll have the camera ready to take pictures of the off road excursions. Stay tuned.
