    Trying to join the Aussie site. What's the magic question?

    For the verification question I have tried every combination of XS1100, XS11, XS eleven and it never lets me join. What is the darn answer to "what is your favourite motorcycle?" It's driving me crazy. There is no administrator email to get help.

      Nope. Maybe I have to type it in an Aussie accent:

        Hmmm, that's odd ...

        The info came from a thread started by member "auxtian" (apparently the guy who started the Australian forum)



        Maybe they changed it ??

                      Yeah, I wasn't exactly sure how to respond to that. Maybe the Aussies will understand.

                          Hey fellas, Don't come the raw prawn. They don't want to let blokes on the site who have kangaroos loose in the top paddock.

                          Now that I'm a member there I feel like a a possum up a gumtree even if I'll only be as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

                              Hi Marcus,
                              they do ask the applicant for THEIR favorite motorcycle, right?
                              Betcha "Velocette" wouldn't get me in even if it's the truth.
                              They have these signs at certain traffic lights in Saskatoon that say
                              "High collision rate intersection, strictly enforced"
                              I know what they mean (run the light and you WILL get a ticket) but it's not what they SAY.
                              Similarly they have signs on the 22nd St. crosswalks that say
                              "High pedestrian accident rate location" They do NOT say "Strictly enforced" I guess that would be too tempting.
