    Dear Cotton, I also have to tick the Virtual Library box to say I am not downloading material for commercial use and don't have a problem with it. There is a ton of good stuff there, and searching 'Schebler' gives you some early catalogs and the owners handbooks from nearly all early early motorcycles. It's worth persevering. I've contributed several documents such as the Rikuo parts manual and the Lake brochure and hope others are finding them helpful.

      Thanks Steve,

      But I cannot access the library without another password.

      And face it, as a business, I collected, edited, and reprinted plenty of literature and graphics for my products, which could be called 'commercial use'.

      If I sign in, I'm setting myself up. (A board member once told me I already had a bulls'eye on my back.)

        I would think commercial use refers to reprinting for resale and using the resources to further your knowledge of something you repair for income would be permissible but I’m just thinking out loud .

          In a logical, perfect world, Otis!

          But this is a club. (I swore I'd never join another one, but the schizm with Chief Blackhawk put me in two.)

          If I click on that button, the AMCA could find a way to kick me out.

          Call me paranoid.

              If you try and get kicked out of the library, you'll be in the same place as if you don't try at all. But if you try and succeed you'll be in a better place knowledge-wise. Right?

                Pretty sure the threat was to get kicked out of the club, M.A.D.

                But that was way back when my password (the one I use here) worked.

                I'm just being careful what I click on.

                (Especially agreements.)

                  For some reason I didn't need a second password to access the Library. What's the worse that could happen?

                    I believe that was expressed in the agreement, Steve,

                    But I can no longer access it.

                    Obviously, I cannot contribute, either.
