    NOTICE:
    in an attempt to stop spammers on our forum, I have asked for and been given permission to verify any new users to the forum. from now on, to get on I check the AMCA number to be sure the person is actually a member of the club. if they are not, they are banned. hopefully this will stop any future spammers. now all I have to do is catch anybody that already is registered but not a member.
    NOW let's get back to what this forum was designed for, sharing knowledge, ideas and freindship.

        Way to go, Kevin.

        I know I speak for others who appreciate your "oversight" of this forum. Of all the Nat'l board members, you appear most frequently on the forum (as does Pete Gagan and Geoff Ringle), taking the time to get involved. Others may think that no one of consequence uses this forum for anything other than BS, but I enjoy stopping by daily (as do others) and I know that I have made contacts and gained knowledge thru this forum.

        I have learned a ton of info on the Harley IOE models and the early extinct brands via this forum, really enjoying the photos and commentary.

        Keep up the good work.

          I agree with you on this. Kevin say hi to Rocky for us since he probably won't see this.

            Kevin that’s great news

            You could get rid of hundreds of non members registered on this site if you ban any body using number 1 as there membership number (except the president).

            Its good to see that you have reinstated the members list that had been disabled,
            we can help you identify non members.

                      okay everybody!
                      now I need a favor, to help get rid of spammers etc, if you all would click on "User CP" in the upper left corner and then click "Edit Profile" on the left side and make sure your AMCA number is in there. I can then check to make sure the person is who they claim to be. this will REALLY help me with this job. nobody else will be able to view your personal information
                      thanks in advance
