• 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.

    What do you carry/do to deal with Flat Tires while Traveling?

    Help! Wind Buffeting

    What do you carry/do to deal with Flat Tires while Traveling?

    Is there an accepted flat prevention method/product on the market? What do you experienced cross country riders do? I am planning my first cross country trip this year and want to be prepared. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    2017 F3 Limited arm rest

    My wife and I installed the brp units and honestly, I don't think she could reach the handrails if they were still there. She feels very secure with the armrests in place. She never felt secure with the handrails. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Newb in Central Ohio

    We used to come over there all the time to go to Friendlys. We were very sad to see them go. We still come near there to go to Godfathers when we get the chance.
