• 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.

    Decisions Decisions...need some advice

    So, I own a 08 GS, 19K+ miles, and love it. I'm thinking of making a change to something newer. My thought is to either go with an RT, or, F3. I enjoy riding, and my Spyder has helped me make that possible after suffering a severe brain injury in 2001. I'm 6'1", 205lbs , and 56 years old. So...

    Ryding?

    Took a ride out to PA to see my folks. They are in the 80's and not very happy about the current conditions. So, when I surprised them, they were overjoyed. Bonus was the lack of Troopers, thus making the trip quite short, lol. Anyone else making trips to see loved ones?

    Observations and questions about riding style

    Took my 2008 GS out for a ride on Sunday. Had to clear my head, 7th anniversary of a former co-worker succumbing to cancer related to his work down in lower Manhattan after September 11th. I saw numerous motorcyclists riding in such a manner that I was preparing to see a tragedy unfold before...

    Rear fender support failure

    So, after getting my GS back, I noticed the rear fender seemed askewed, and wouldn't you know I am a victim of the dreaded support failures that have plaqued many a GS/RS owner. (I never knew of this, but thanks to SLSSI do now!) So, I will see if my buddy can weld them for me, but I may just...

    No ryding for a while

    This past Friday I underwent robotic assisted laproscopic hernia repair. From what my surgeon said to my wife it was far more involved than he had anticipated. No ryding for a while, no lifting for six weeks, no driving for a few more days. Follow up this Thursday. The main reason for this post...

    Something new today while riding..

    After a late morning meeting with a surgeon who informed me I would be limited as to what physical activities I could participate in, until he repairs a hernia I am suffering from, I decided a few hours of wind therapy would be suitable. Well, as I exited one of the many traffic circles along my...
