• 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.

    A New Mission for Phantom 14...

    As many of you know, I bought a new bike a little over a month ago. I am so enamered with the new Suzuki that I have not been able to get off of it.

    And the Journey Begins...

    Well, I did it. I have been contemplating this for a while now and after much deliberation I have decided to... GIVE 14 A SISTER!! The Suzuki GSX1250FA. This machine is just Butter, man. Makes extremely nice power and low end torque but the power band is smooth and wide. Very flickable...

    World Superbike at Monza, Anybody watch?

    Man, pretty darn good racing this weekend. Laverty pulls off the double and Biaggi got screwed big time. No way should they have assessed a ride through on him for the off in race 2. I mean dude was 8 seconds ahead at the time! and he did slow down before re-entering the racing surface. Heck...

As I gave...

    If anyone out there has an RT on order and are waiting for it to arrive, this is for you. I was at the dealer yesterday getting fresh rubber and service performed on my phantom when I saw a couple of really nice RTs sitting on the show room floor. I went on over and took a seat on one just to...

    Tire Wear Issue - Possible Alignment problem

    After getting home yesterday I decided I would take a slightly harder look at 14 just to make sure everything was OK. I had just come off a pretty spectacular ride and I wanted to make sure nothing got hurt. I looked at my tires - and I noticed my right front is wearing on the inside now. The...

    When a Ride ISN'T Just a Ride...

    For the past few days my routine rides into work and back have been anything but routine. I have had some amazing interactions with some of the 2-wheeled brothers that travel my normal route. The morning runs have been filled with big waves and salutations from the guys I see almost every...

    The Daytona 500... What Did You Think?

    Well, the boys of Stock Car Racing are back! I was curious who of us out there saw the race and what did you think of the new car and this new two-by-two drafting. Personally I had mixed feelings about it. I do like the new car, I think it's a big improvement over last year, especially the new...

    Adventures in Puddle Jumping!!

    Well, Winter decided to show up in CA after all! After days and days of freakishly warm weather and all the prognosticators saying that the rains were basically over, we have been getting hammered out here by a pretty decent storm. Monday and Tuesday was OK, only bad at night. Today is a...

    A Milestone Hit... 10.000 Miles!

    On 5 October 2010 14 hit 5,000 miles. Well, kids, we have hit another mark. It happened on the way home from work. I knew I was close, but when I was 24 miles from home, I looked down and saw this: I was so stoked I pulled over right away and snapped a pic. It was kind of a cool moment...

    The Bad Ride Home...

    Tonight was one heck of a ride, guys. And a real testamonial to the Spyder's ability to handle adverse conditions. So here it is; I started out from work dry, but it was 68 and very humid. 10 minutes in, it started to rain. It rained for a while. The rain turned into this sticky drizzle.At...

    Oil Change, Inspection and Checkout - 14 is Alive and Well

    My Phantom, which I simply call 14 - #14 of 500 - got the royal treatment today. Since she just turned 5526 I figured I would change the oil and give her a complete check-out. I got a bad news call today so I know I'm going to be taking a trip now. Suffice it to say I was motivated to do this...
