    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.

    Chain and sprokets '79 gs1000e

    I converted to 530 after having a fancy RK xring chain wear out suddenly and prematurely at 20,000 kms while on a trip. Never had that happen before ....ever after many years of running various oring chains on various motorcycles. Managed to limp home because overnighting somewhere and finding...

    Hard to start when cold; vs hard to start when warm

    A '78 means it could still have points and condensers. Bad condensers as well as points could also contribute to hard starting among other poor running gremlins. I'd make sure all basic maintenance is up to date before second guessing what the problem is.

    Headed to Ontario...on a Honda...yikes

    I'm sure you'll enjoy the trip, even if it is on a Honda. Are you going to be overnighting in the Bonner's Ferry area?

    Finally back on the road again

    Could possibly do something like that for a couple of days. Summer is pretty booked up but I'm sure we'll figure it out. August and mid week would be better for me. Let's work on it. PM me.

    Good to see you out for a decent ride. Itching for one myself. Been too long since I've had a decent long ride.

    Thanks Bob. Just started playing with my ND filters and it was a 50 sec. exposure. Probably only needed 20 sec. or so for the same effect. I like the results as well. More experimenting to do.

    Here's a few more from our recent trip. Saw lots of eagles but not much else unfortunately. Even did a 3 hour kayak trip and didn't see any whales, orcas or even dolphins. Others did, just not me. First an American Bush Tit. Boring little bird with a funny name but one of the few in North...

    Yeah. We're not getting much smoke for a change, most fires are to the north and east of us. Going to be a bad summer. On a lighter note here's a guy I know locally that quit his job as an Aerospace engineer about 40 years ago to specialize in building vintage aircraft and parts for the vintage...

    Cooley bars
