The IT guy has been made aware and has submitted a ticket for review.

He believes it is "something  upstream from the server"...

It is being looked into. If you can provide any further details such as your local network provider and such, please add it here. He is monitoring this post. The more info he has, the better/quicker the issue can be resolved.

Or PM the details to AdminG so he has the details.

Quote from: 5speed on April 25, 2026, 11:27:02 AMIs anyone else experiencing this?
It's been doing it since I joined and when I click on the log in icon I get this every time.
I have to go to the register an account page and fight with the captcha and when I get that right and click on log in..it works.
Very frustrating.



I'm having the same issue.  It's brutal.

Modifications / Oberon clutch slave cylinder
Last post by Billy Bananahead - Today at 09:29:05 AM
Fitted an Oberon clutch slave today, the Yamaha one was leaking and well past its sell by date. Easy to bleed up.
The only drawback is that to fit new piston and seals it has to go back to the manufacturer. Hopefully that won't be in my lifetime. Shiniest bit of the bike. :rofl:

Quote from: Billy Bananahead on March 21, 2026, 04:25:27 AMFrom what i remember there is a diode in the wiring loom. It's hard to locate without actually cutting open the loom casing. It's somewhere between the headstock and fuses. Sorry i can't be more helpful. I'll see if i can find the one i replaced and post a picture.

Found the diode today that i was talking about. It's only used on the 1986 and 87 1TX 1200's. Like i mentioned it is buried inside the loom and only found when the loom is cut into. Thought it might be of interest to someone.

I apologize that I forgot to reply to your email response.  Unfortunately the shipping from IN to OR makes it cost prohibitive.  Adding a City/State to your ad might help with people asking questions.

No major issues here, but I'm not in frequently enough.

"Patience, grasshopper" may or may not apply, no offense intended.

 
The phrase "patience, young grasshopper" originated from the 1970s television show "Kung Fu". In the show, David Carradine played the character Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin monk who traveled across the American Old West. Caine's master, Master Po, frequently referred to him as "grasshopper" and would impart wisdom by saying "patience, young grasshopper".

The metaphorical use of the term "grasshopper" to describe an inexperienced or youthful person comes from Chinese culture, where the bug represents youth and inexperience. The phrase gained popularity through its association with the discipline of martial arts and the teachings of patience, self-discipline, and restraint.

The phrase has moved beyond its "Kung Fu" roots and entered common usage, often used to advise people to be persistent and patient in various situations. It has become a cultural icon that imparts universal lessons, such as the value of perseverance in the face of difficulty and the understanding that true mastery is a process rather than a final goal.

Odd, I'll message the website guy and see if he can duplicate the issue. I haven't had any issues on the pc or my phone.
