• 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.

    Day Eight - Looking for My Keys in Florida Thank you all for the well wishes. As we get older in life, death is a reality. Remember Dave and Eveline? Well, they had given me a photo-tag challenge of sorts. They didn't know they were doing it--but did none-the-less. They had shown me a photo...

    Need Springs for F3T Shocks

    Not affiliated, other than I've been a customer for years. Didn't think they had an option for the Spyder, so I bought some expensive Elkas. Less than a year later they were puking from the seals. Elka said, "These are performance shocks, you're supposed to rebuild them every year or so." Call...

    Day Seven - Looking for my Keys in Florida The angel on my helmet is for my step-mother. She collected angels, my whole life. Some people collect something for a season or two, and then the muse pulls them in another direction. Not her. Angels. Hundreds of them. Today we would say goodbye...

    Day Six cont'd Okay, Myakka isn't actually that drab... I actually think the cabins look kinda kewl--but didn't check to see if they were a/c'ed. I found it interesting the cabins were built a few feet up on stone pillars--I assumed it's for flooding? I also didn't venture far enough to see the...

    Day Six cont'd Yes, you can pick up your very own 6 foot long Rapala lure. Except... it's out of stock. I wonder who bought them all? https://www.rapala.com/rapala/lures/rapala-six-foot-giant-lure-/RSFLS.html?cgid=rapala-lures&taglist=Rapala|Lures#start=73&sz=36&cgid=rapala-lures

    Day Six - Looking for my Keys in Florida Today was another road day. Before I head out, the Honey Bee and apple blossom is for my stepdad. He grew up on a fruit farm in Michigan, and I remember for the first time as a young boy, tasting what REAL apple cider tasted like. Not that pasteurized...

    Pedal commander vs PV3 tuner

    Hey, monkeyboy. Digging through this old post, and wanted to clarify some of the info from Fuel Moto // or perhaps it's just updated info. Fuel Moto offers free maps & support with product purchase. However, if you already have a tuning device or need a map for a different bike, we offer a fuel...

    Day Five cont'd - Looking for my Keys in Florida Okay, I've been teasing the taquito long enough about tacos. Welcome to the best Mexican food in Sarasota! It would HAVE to be housed in a gas station to even be in the running for the title. This little gem is ensconced in the Texaco Station...

    Yup, still Day Five - Looking for my Keys in Florida It takes two buildings to house the museum at the Ringling dedicated to the Circus. The idea of the museum did not belong to John Ringling, it was the brainchild of A. Everett “Chick” Austin Jr.’s, the Ringlings’ first Director and a member...

    Day Five cont'd - Looking for my Keys in Florida To give a sense of the Ringlings' wealth, let's go look at their art collection... but first Mable's Rose Garden. I believe it may at times be epic. Sadly, there was only one rose in bloom. I give you... "The Bloom" It was getting quite...

    I just had no concept of the wealth of the Ringlings. Mind boggling for the times. Mind boggling for the times and the industry.

    Day Five cont'd - Looking for my Keys in Florida Ca' d'Zan (or House of John) was inspired by Venice's Ducal Palace, Ca' d'Oro. John and Mable Ringling had traveled Europe for nearly 25 years, acquiring circus acts and art. As one of America's wealthiest couples, the Ringlings, started building...

    Day Five cont'd - Looking for my Keys in Florida I learned a trick years ago with amusement parks. Don't get distracted by the first big ride you see. Get there when they open, and race to the back of the park--avoiding all the crowds that get distracted by the shiny baubles. Then you will be...

    Day Five cont'd The Ringling had a note to please buy tickets online ahead of time. Okay, easy enough. What they didn't tell you was complying with their innocuous request would result you in getting to avoid a line that filled the lobby and poured outside into the Florida sun! Just walk right...

    Day Five - Looking for my Keys in Florida My 40-some mile trek down the beaches of Sarasota looking for parking the day before had dampened my bathing spirits. Time to pivot again. PLUS, the best Mexican restaurant had closed early the night before, forcing the consumption of steak with...

    Thanks, Paul. I did remember at the last moment that I was in Sarasota, not South Miami Beach, so I girded my loins. :2excited:
