yes it is and yes you do. i've chased those before, and various variants. i have one now by the tail that uses "tell a friend" or a dealer locator to gain entry.

do you have a character capture function on sign-up? ya know, that thing that tells you to type in what the squiggly letters actually say?
if not, that's probably where they're getting into your site.

Yep, and I commute on the bike. Thank goodness I got a set of them Dunlop D220STs. I get 19K miles out of a set, the Gold Wing guys wish they had it so good.
