• 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.

Article from Touring Bike Feb. 1978

Over 42 year's ago my wife and I began riding motorcycles. Back then there was a publication for bike riders called Touring Bike Magazine.

Penny decided to write an article for the magazine and I ran across a copy the other day while cleaning out some files. It is too good not to share so I thought I would post it here. After all these years and miles she is still riding at 77 year's old and she is on her third Spyder.

You have the perfect wife, wish mine would take the handlebars once in a while. if ever you decide to trade her in for a younger model call me :)
 
I remember that magazine tho not that particular article. That's exciting that she wrote that and that it was accepted for publication. Can you post it some where in a larger format so I (and others) can read it?

I don’t know where I could post it for viewing. If you send me your email address I can reply with a pdf copy. If anyone else wants a readable copy just PM me with where to email it to.

After you click on the photo to make it pop up in a larger version right click on it a select open link in new tab. Then move to that tab and you can enlarge it to readable size. It won't be be real sharp but it is readable. Ctrl+ works on Firefox. You can't enlarge the pop up copy that displays over the top of the forum message. It has to be in its own separate tab.
