• 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.

    Do you have any problem with the weight, ThreeWherls? My RT says 15lbs in the top case and 5lbs on the rack. It seems I can't even put 2 pairs of Klim pants in a bag without going over that weight.

    Questioning wearing Ear Plugs while riding

    I bought Loop Experience Plus plugs and wore them last week but while they're quiet and killed the wind noise (but can still hear traffic) there was a vibration sound that was almost worse (on a Harley Softail). I'll try them again, but might be going with something different like the ones...
