• 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.

    How to gear up to ride comfortably and safely in really hot weather?

    I learned that clothing next to the skin, such as pants particularly, have to be cotton; synthetics, even light-colored ones, tend to transmit the intense sun rays right through with painful consequences. Synthetic mesh outer layers don't do that, but they do evaporate skin moisture very...

    300 miles in temps over 105 with low humidity ... dangerous

    Thanks. Much appreciate your help getting this discussion back on track.

    Looking for new Comms - what do you use?

    The direct replacement for the discontinued UCLEAR Motion 4 Lite is the UCLEAR Motion 6, which steps up to support up to six riders in a mesh network and adds gesture controls. That's disappointing. What happened to nice, simple comms? I don't need to communicate with other bikes.

    Hah! Not many of those out on the open road!

    How to gear up to ride comfortably and safely in really hot weather?

    Another old thread that seems au current.

    300 miles in temps over 105 with low humidity ... dangerous

    I just came across this thread from 5 years ago when extreme heat seemed abnormal. Now that it's more commonplace (as in ALL this past summer), what, if any, changes have any of you made to planning, riding gear, riding tactics, etc?

    Anyone else watching Star Trek - Strange New Worlds?

    Thanks

    Anyone else watching Star Trek - Strange New Worlds?

    I feel like I'm already living in a strange new world - and it ain't a musical! Anyway, I've not seen it but would like to. Where does it stream?

    Random thought for the day

    I would go so far as to say that some have raised deliberate deception to an art form, and do it so compulsively and so naturally that it gives them a strategic advantage over everyone else.

    Looking for new Comms - what do you use?

    I think I upgraded to the 20s a few years back. I don't have a freezing cold weather need for it (I hibernate in winter, wuss that I am), but I'd like to look into something less finicky and feature-laden.

    Planning a Pacific Coast Highway trip - looking for suggestions

    I realize this is too late for your trip, but it may be of value to others thinking of doing the same. I would trailer directly to Oregon. The ride from Denver to Oregon will take up too much of your riding time. The trip from Salt Lake City to Oregon is miserable desert highway no matter which...

    Looking for new Comms - what do you use?

    Good info, Deanna. You and Peter Aawen both seem to think they're superior to the Senas (which I'm beginning to dislike)

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Got it. I changed the post.

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    Yes, I have. I broke my elbow. That was in the 70s before affordable armored protective gear was commonly available as it is now. I'm definitely ATGATT on 2-wheelers. Thank you for that. I too am looking to continue and contribute to an interesting discussion, not impose my opinions on others...

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    So, you believe those accidents are just as likely on a Spyder as on a 2-wheeler? I still don't understand your reasoning. I'm not questioning your preferences, just your reasoning. Thanks. I think in that (extremely unlikely) scenario, the Spyder would be pushed off course and possibly...
