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.

But the overnight low is forecast to be about 32. I don't have heated grips or anything fancy.
I have a 40 mile commute one-way.
Afternoon should be alright, in the mid to high fifties.
I do, however, have new duds from the auction the other day and good ice-climbing gloves.
Then I found this:
I dunno, could be some epic suffering. But the afternoon
will be nice...

Do it!
Check out the cheap heated grip-wraps at Aerostich if you're looking for something temporary and warm.

I rode this morning, low 60s. Did fine. It should be fine on the way home though, low 70s.

I guess you sorted out your ignition(?) problem. Definitely ride, man. I'm riding tomorrow. I must say seeing snow yesterday gave me a jolt.

I'm sooo riding tomorrow. The ride home will make the morning commute worth it. Thinking about taking 213 home.
I have the heat lamp set up on the timer out there in the driveway right now. Should start warming things up around 0600...
Yeah, about that ignition thing. Turns out my timing had changed by a couple degrees so I wasn't getting full advance. I have theories about how that happened but for now I'll just assume that the stator plate had backed off a bit. The other thing it could have been is the rotor slipped but, seeing as how that's screwed into the exhaust cam, I'm going to ignore that possibility for now.

Riding in that cold of weather isn't bad, just be sure you've got a windproof layer on the outside, put liners in your gloves, and if you're really worried, put a pair of oversized mits on over that. Then again, I'm from WI, and we're all a little crazy about what we think is too cold or not.

Bah. Went today, had a glorious ride this morning with the frost everywhere, some fog, but the ride home was great. I'm going to do it again tomorrow.
Starting was a little rough, but we managed. And aside from a spark plug lead coming out of the coil on a bump everything went well.

See, no problem. It was cold here today as well (all the way down to 59f) but I managed to layer up properly and make it to class with no problems. I even had to use the cold start lever to get the bike up to temp, so we are not so different you and I.
