• 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.

    27 story fire going on in london right now

    It seems that the newly installed external cladding exacerbated the speed at which the blaze spread. The 27 storey building had no functional fire alarm or sprinkler system, nevertheless the local authority approved the £10M refurbishment of the outside knowing this. The result was many dead...

    I admit it.......

    'Kay... the conversion kit is made in Holland and a car tyre on the rear is installed when the Honda dealer builds your bike for you....each one is built to your spec, so a huge variety of options is available. I have to say that I really like the Valk version despite the fact that there's no...

    I admit it.......

    I've been looking at these: http://sturgistrike.com/models/ Why?? Any competent Honda dealer can service one and the base bike can be any 2001 or later Goldwing or Valkyrie with ABS, although the Valk doesn't come with a reverse gear. Legendary Honda reliability is also a plus...

    f-3 brakes

    10750 miles. both front discs warped and pads at 60% worn. No evidence of overheating. I am amazed at how small and lightweight the OEM discs are. Even with normal use I think they may not dissipate the heat adequately. All were replaced under warranty by my excellent dealer 158 Performance as...

    Now I really wish that I could say that....

    Well I didn't know that! So I've just taken a look at the CAA drone guidelines and the only rule I believe that he has broken is the 150ft. from people requirement. But if the area is clear when you take off and people subsequently move closer to see what you're doing then there's not a lot that...
