• 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.

    Questions for the experts - not the wannabes at my dealership

    Yes, but on that Kawi you didn't NEED to watch your mirrors 'cause nobody was gainin' on you! :)

    I took the OP to be complaining that "D-day" was not being recognized by our media. My answer was that there were many (several dozen) "D-day's" throughout the war as it was the common military designation for "go" day. June 6, 1944 was only one of them.

    All I ask was a question. I never got any answers as to why a poster considers the Normandy Invasion THE single event that turned the tide of WWII in the European theater but I did get a bunch of hate mail and incorrect opinions. I figured the subject was important enough to clear the air and...

    My error. Should have said 'ofdave' not 'Denman'. Apologies.

    Here is my initial post on the subject: "How would you separate the right "D-Day" to commemorate out of the several dozen that took place during a long ago war? How did the soldiers, sailors and airmen differ from the landings at Normandy from those who were sacrificed at Tarawa, or Dieppe...

    Deer vs SPyder RT Limited

    Good thing you ride in White Tail Country. Out here we have Mule Deer which can be the size of a cow.

    Question on ISCI Handbrake

    I too would not recommend a shorty brake lever. I found the effort to pull hard enough for significant braking force exceeds my wife's ability and can be a test for me. It is definitely much more difficult than any two-wheeled motorcycle I have ever owned and that includes some very heavy...

    What you have written is true.....except it wasn't the subject. The statement in question was that with the Normandy Invasion the threat of a German invasion of the British Isles ended and the answer was no, the invasion threat ended with the Battle of Britain (air war over the UK 10 July 1940...

    I never said the Normandy Invasion was not an important event. No, what matters is that you and a lot of your peers have little or no in depth knowledge of WWII. I did nothing more than correct many of your misconceptions. Grab the collection of WWII by (RADM) Samuel Eliot Morrison...

    The threat of invasion ended with Germany's failure to win the Battle of Britain when they could not establish air superiority over the UK. That was approximately two years prior to the invasion at Normandy.

    It was covered, briefly, on NBC Nightly News as I am sure elsewhere. No mention here of RFK's assassination though. Double standard much?

    I think that idiot poster meant "rabid dog". A brain is a terrible thing to waste.

    In the future it would behoove you to refrain from speaking out your ass. Since you don't know me I will fill you in - then go ahead with your inaccurate and inflammatory statements. I was born in late 1944 - just a week or so after my father was very seriously wounded in the Battle of Leyte...

    Normandy was not the largest amphibious landing of the war. That would be the Battle of Leyte Gulf (and possibly the largest of all time) but the Russian tank battle at Kursk was the largest tank battle and the Russian land invasion from the East was, by far, the largest of its kind. It took...

    How would you separate the right "D-Day" to commemorate out of the several dozen that took place during a long ago war? How did the soldiers, sailors and airmen differ from the landings at Normandy from those who were sacrificed at Tarawa, or Dieppe? We just celebrated Memorial Day a few days...

    "Restrooms are for customers only"

    There are already restaurants that specialize in specific menu offerings (vegan, Chinese, etc.). Business owners do not have to offer everything to everybody BUT if one were to refuse service to someone wearing a Burka because he/she didn't like Muslims it would be a Federal offense. That...
