• 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.

    ESI/NMN Mirror Extensions...

    ... I was lucky enough to receive a pre-production, beta set of the mirror extensions, thanks to Evan. These things are great... there's quite a bit of complex machining on them to make them look, fit and function correctly. My camera flash makes the extensions' finish look rougher than...

    I forgot...

    ... how different two-wheelers and the Spyders are. After not riding a two-wheeler since I bought the Spyder 15 months ago, I spent Monday and Tuesday checking out my Valkyrie and riding it a bit. Parking lots and lower-speed, around-town driving? The Spyder wins, hands down... no...

    NMN LED Brake Lights....

    The No Magic Neon LED brake lights are installed and they are awesome! They are considerably brighter than the stock incandescents (don't know by what factor)... and they're apparently designed to never trigger the nanny... even if the LEDs go south... which is highly unlikely for a very, very...
