• 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.

    Rivco peg mounts/forward pegs

    I look like a toddler trying to stand for the first time. This is why I went with 3 wheels instead of going back to 2. I can't pick myself up and how would I look picking myself and bike up at a stoplight?:roflblack::roflblack:

    Rivco peg mounts/forward pegs

    I've got the Rivco pegs as well and if you want to add the Rivco Floorboards, its also an easy install. I kept the stock shift lever, instead of changing it out with the heel toe shifter that comes with the floorboards.

    lights and wind deflectors

    Nice looking lights, if you want more to light up the front, look into the "Day Runners and Day Pucks". I was having problems with cagers and even worse (Tourists!!!) pulling out of side streets and parking lots, not seeing me and after putting these lights on, its a lot safer riding day and...

    Almost Cut my Hair (CSNY) song

    I cut it in the summer when its in the 90s here with high humidity and cut it myself. Friends with long hair have gone to Cost Cutters and the next time I see them, I would say, "Oh Just have High your school pictures taken"? I let it grow for when its cold and may trim a half of inch off to do...

    License Plate Light replacement

    I replaced the whole thing with a LED Catseye clear brake, license plate light and added a strobe. I found it at Dennis Kirk at a cost of $52.00. Its a HD light but fits okay and the more brake lights back there the better. All brake lights flash 10 times before going solid and after painting...

    I had the problem starting at 60 mph and at 48 mph it stopped. I hadn't put any fuel injector cleaner in it in for a awhile, so at time of fill up. I put in a splash of it in, not much but enough to clean out the injectors and took it back up on the highway. A few good twists of the throttle the...

    Colt Firearms

    Doing business in CT is very difficult with the high corporate tax rate and when I lived there, aircraft part companies were moving out of state, to the south in the late 1970's. I applied for a job with CIGNA in their printing department in 1991 about 4 years after CT Printers filed for...

    Doing Burnouts

    I can count on one hand how many burnouts I've done plus one in reverse, that I don't recommend. The one in reverse was by accident and although the "R" was flashing on the tach, I somehow missed it.:roflblack: I haven't done one since 2009 and prefer to keep the rubber on the tires as they...

    Proofreading is a dying art.

    After reading these I agree, A Dying Art. Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter. This one I caught in the S. G V. Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was...
