• 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.

    Good Enclosed Trailer for RT

    Cargo mate I have a cargomate. 6 1/2 x 10. Semi-custom I guess, but they made it for me pretty quickly. I hopped across the border to Indiana, paid $2395 and then paid the sales tax in Illinois. Is this the most heavy duty trailer out there, of course not, but I'm not using it for business...

    Trailer Question

    Helmet clip

    OK that's weird I tried adding the new drawing and it would'nt but then it did I guess. Yes, I forgot I already added a 1/16 and so added it again. It only needs to be 1.625, although 1.69 won't hurt anything.

    Helmet clip

    Easy Not when you have a milling machine in the garage and a supply of stainless. I think I spent about 30 minutes on the CAD and 30 minutes to make them. Also we retirees have to have projects and I already made the backing plates for the boat, modified the stainless cooler lid hinges for...

    Fuel

    No ethanol Bryan is CORRECT, in the midwest especially around large metropolitan areas, the only gas without ethanol IS premium. All other octanes will have alcohol. And in Northern Illinois, within 60 miles of Chicago there is NO non-ethanol gas. For us the best chance for getting...

    Highway pegs I need to be able to move my right leg and straighten my knee on my RT so I bought Lamonster highway pegs. I also bought the large size foot peg and it turns out the standard size would have been fine.

    Bad Day For Big Red

    Motor Club I have motor club and I get a discount because I have Allstate, so it is $85 a year, although I think anyone can get that price if you just negotiate. They sent out a guy to change a flat because I was unable to do it and he just said "have a nice day" and drove off without me even...

    Take it easy. I remember when trying to do multiple 45 degree banks perpendicular to a road at low altitude it scared the hell out of me until I finally said, "damn it, I tell the plane what to do not the other way around". Then I started pushing it around saying under my breath, I'm the boss...
