• 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 have you hit with your Spyder.........

    .............and how did you, your co-rider, your Spyder, and what you hit fare? Just wondering. I've been considering going back to two wheels. I really, really miss leaning in the curves.

    Too Close For Comfort?

    I heard a long time ago.......... ..................that once you enter a large body of water, you've just become part of the food chain. Think about THAT, and it'll shiver your timbers. <M>

    London. That's a long, long flight. The wife and I returned from a Princess Scandinavian cruise, from London, via Vancouver, B.C., and into Portland, OR. LOTS of hours in the air. Safe travels, Sir, and have fun! <M>

    Stump Jumpers...... ........at least, in Oregon, (Off Tangent), was slang that meant the fish and game enforcement troopers of the Oregon State Police. In my 30 year career with the Oregon D.O.T. Motor Carrier Enforcement Division, we dealt with, and used frequently, what were called "Jump...

    Ryding after dark

    Lumens. I have read that at age 50, you need twice the amount of Lumens (measure of light) to see the same things as you did at age 20. So, as far as I'm concerned, bring on the Lumens! <M>

    Weather Cover storage cover recomendations sought

    Cover. Gary, whatever cover you end up using, unless the cover has a built in soft cloth protection for the windshield, be sure to cover the windshield with something like a pillow case before you put the cover on, or the cover will scratch the windshield. I still have a soft cloth windshield...

    Civility.

    I happened to check a few other forums last night--F6B forums, GL1800 forums, and H-D forums. On one particular GL1800 forum, and on one particular H-D forum, I was surprised at the amount of vitriol that was directed by some forum users towards other forum users. Very disappointing, and not a...
