• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Your old bikes?

Well, I have been riding for a relative short time compared to some of you. Purchased my first bike for my 40th birthday gift to myself.
1st- 1997 yamaha fzr600
2nd- 2001 suzuki LC 1500
3rd- 2006 suzuki boulevard M109r
4th- 2002 suzuki katana 600
5th- 2007 suzuki boulevard M109r
6th- 2006 kawasaki zzr600
7th- 2007 kawasaki zzr600
8th- 2006 kawasaki zx14
9th- 2003 kawasaki zzr1200
10th- 2003 kawasaki zzr1200
11th- 2014 can am spyder RT
12th- 2008 suzuki boulevard M109r
13th- 2012 can am spyder RSS

That is the list so far, but who knows what is to come.
 
In all my years of riding I have only owned four bikes:
First - '76 Kawasaki KZ900 Surprisingly I survived to buy another bike.
Second - '89 Kawasaki 750 Vulcan
Third - '99/'00 Thunder Mountain Softail Evo
Fourth - '14 Spyder RTL
 
In the last 5 years I have had a 2006 ST1300 police bike and a 88 Goldwing. I bought a 750 Nighthawk just to take one trip. Iron Butt run from Key West Florida to Deadhorse Alaska. Got home and sold it. I still ride a Honda Fury and my wife has a VTX1300. The spyder is the sweetest ride ever.
