PLEASE LOGIN TO SEE ANYTHING.
This measure is inconvenient, yes, but necessary at present.
Click below for more information.
EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
First fix:
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that,
the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious
cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the
New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.
Automatic registration is disabled for security reasons.
But fear not!
You can register!
Option the First:
Please drop our fearless Administerrerrerr a line.
Tell him who you are, that you wish to join, and what you wish your username to be. The Administerrerrerr will get back to you. If you're human, and you're not a damn spammer, expect a reply within 24 hoursish. Usually quicker, rarely slower.
Unfortunately, the Contact Form is being a total primadonna right now, so please send an email to the obvious address.
Posting this address in clear text is just the "on" switch for spambots, but here is a hint.
Option the Second:
Find us on Facebook, in the magnificent
Umah Thurman Midget Circus
Join up there, or just drop the modmins a message. They will pass any request on to the Administerrerrerr for this place.
A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

It's your punishment for not offering it to friends before putting on CL. Now I'm going to go back to kicking cats and pouting.

Looks like a fun process...
Cut out a lot of bullshit tire kickers from the get go with a few simple things in the ad. You still get the occasional bullshit scam mail. Just ignore it, it's part of the process...so, live with it.
1. Never put your phone number out there, they'll email if interested.
2. Put no bullshit terms in your ad. Something like this:
-No trades accepted of any kind (unless you are open to that).
-No offers accepted via email.
-Bring cash equivalent to my asking price, be expected to hand it to me before you swing a leg over thr bike for a test ride.
3. Use an email address that you won't mind seeing fill up with junk mail. Get a free one from Gmail...Yahoo, let the shit mail pile up there instead of you main email address, you already get enough there. If they already have the cash with them, their temptation to buy your bike increases.
You will immediately drop 75% of the inquiries by throwing # 2 into the mix, saving their time, and most importantly, yours.
The remaining 25% will be your pool of potential buyers. More than likely, you have a bike sold after only 2 or 3 lookers.
In my experiences, most of the buyers are the first ones to come by.
Done...

Is that what you are putting in the ad for your new FZ1? I haven't seen it in the Stuff For Sale forum yet.

quick legal tip? No test ride without a valid license with an M endorsement (CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE LICENSE AND THE ENDORSEMENT).
They ride it, they wreck it, they get hurt..... uh oh! Worse yet, even if you're insured you may be denied coverage due to an unlicensed rider. You bike is befuckered and some ambulance chaser will be serving you with papers that will ruin your life. Just say'n

And keep in mind some states (Florida for example) will issue a license with an "M" certification on the front, but on the back of the license are any applicable restrictions such as "corrected lenses, must be accompanied by licensed motorcycle rider" and so forth. Look the entire thing over carefully.
Good luck

So, that all changes with a licensed rider? No issues? I could see it being an issue all the way around.

indeed, it could be an issue, but likely an insured one. So, insurance company pics up the tab. Absent a license, yours/customers insurance may deny coverage, placing the legal fees, costs and potential pay out squarely on your shoulders.

Good to know...thanks. Motivation to keep a bike for awhile.
Sorry for 50 questions. On occasion, I've swapped bikes with other riders here. Good or a bad thing?
