LOGIN ISSUES
Because I've presently got technical incompetences with the board, password resets presently do not work automatic like.
If you can't login, click here please.

If you have any problem logging in, please don't bother waiting and get in touch. Email right to the usual address (admin at...), use the contact form (bottom of index and most other pages), post in the Midget Circus, or message me directly on Facebook.
I should get the message within a few hours, but under rare circumstances, it might take me a day.

If you can login no problem, but you wish to avoid problem, try checking the "Remember Me" box where you login. I've meddled with the settings there, so even if you return here only once every couple of weeks, it should remember you fine. Provided you have cookies enabled.

If it won't remember you, and you want to be sure any failure to remember is actually such and not just an oops, please read the following (click the bar to make it "show").
Important infos about cookies
Show
To be remembered, you must have cookies enabled in your browser. Some people prefer using "private" browsing mode - which precludes cookies being placed on your device in the first place.
Some people use regular browsing mode, but may have chosen to disable all cookies in their settings. Sometimes, these people will end up tearing their hair out because a lot of websites just don't work at all, like many online stores, as many e-commerce platforms don't do bugger all without using cookies.
Me, I've got "Self-Destructing Cookies" plugins in my various browsers. Which lets me accept all cookies everywhere, smug in the knowledge that they will be deleted the instant I close that browser tab. I can even set it to delete the cookies only when I close the whole browser window, which is helpful with online stores.
And I can whitelist sites like the board, so the plugin doesn't mess with those cookies at all.

And you must use the same browser, on the same machine. Unless you're using something like a cookie manager that syncs to all your devices and things, your apple browser on your ipad won't have the delicious cookies chrome has on your PC. And unless google now manages cookies between your devices (who knows what the fuck they do), even chrome on your Android won't have the same cookies as chrome on your notebook, or chrome on your other Android.

SECURITY WHATNOW?
Once upon a when, we've had a data breach (maybe).
Click here if you don't know what that's about.
Show
If you've visited the forum at any time after November 18, 2020, you will have seen the message about a supposed data breach that may have exposed passwords. I know you will have seen it because, until today, there was a big general announcement right at the top of the everything.
Seeing how it's been nearly 18 months since that, with no further alarms getting rung, and how everyone has had 758,214 opportunities to take a minute to think about the security of their passwords, I've taken that notice down.
Follow this link for all the info that has transpired about the whole mess.

You may dismiss this message by clicking the dark X in the top right hand corner. You may have to mouse-over to see it. I assure you it's there.

Shuffle Back In and Find a Quiet Corner

Post by EIF » Wed Nov 28, 2018 7:37 am

Greetings!


A few days ago I shipped a package to Groove out in the Northwet and it reminded me how long it had been since I had visited the forum. Over four years, as the login shows.

After DerGoglo was kind enough to straighten out my account I logged in and was pleased to see so many familiar members still active. At the time I phased out, 2014, it looked like Facebook groups were going to take over. Plus I've gone from having a kid on the boob when I joined the forum to kids worried about boobs of their own. It's frightening.

I read about Dozer, which was truly sad. But I did have to smile at some of the pics posted after he passed, memories of events I was present for or heard about.

Anyway, I am still up here riding north of the Adirondacks. I sold the KLR and the FZ to help pay some bills and was bikeless for a while. Then an acquaintance "sold" me an 1989 EX250 so I could ride again.

Things have taken a positive turn in the last couple years. I bought a leftover 2015 CB300F, which has proven to be a fun little bike that I use as a dirt road runner.

I was also "given" a seized 1992 Yamaha Seca II. I am in the process of mating it with a barely running 1997 Seca II. Of course the two models don't quite match.

I ride solo most of the time now. If any of you folks are headed up this way, drop me a PM. I plan to check in more often, as I didn't realize how much I missed the community.

Take Care All

Welcome home amigo, on or off two wheels this can always be a place to gather.

Welcome back!

WooHoo! I miss my old XJ, I had a 93. Great little "do most of it" bike. Fairly easy to work on as well. XJRider is a great forum. I'll dig around and see if I have any bits and pieces
left from my XJ.

Welcome home!
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I said I have a big stick.
