• 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.

For the first tim in my memory (which is getting worse) the local weather showed that the entire state of Texas was above 100 deg. with the exception of Brownsville which was only 98. It is going to be a Summer to remember for sure.:yikes:

Very hot and long indeed! I'm already ready for October to be here! Can't blame me for wanting the heat to go away...like right now!! Just hope we get some rain from time to time too. :pray: :( IT'S HOT HOT HOT!
 
Wow, that is hot. I was down 2 summers ago for a yankee vs texas game....I couldn't understand why nobody was siting in there seats down the third base line.....until i sat there for 10 minutes....holy :cus::cus:. It was baking time until the sun was blocked by the facade. i feel for you guys...

Today, in sunny NJ, a lovely 78 degrees....great riding today..:thumbup:
 
Have to agree, it is FREAKIN HOT! Went for a ride this am and about melted before I got home at noonish. Is definitely going to be hot this summer. May want to look at some midnight rides again. :spyder:
 
Not horrible here... about 105. :yikes: Had to go downtown (about 15 miles), so rode the Spyder. Wore the chamois neck-kerchief and sleeves. Not bad for the 30 min ride. The Spyder did get a little warm though... hit 6 bars a couple times waiting at stoplights. Thinking about installing a fan override switch.. and maybe the larger, second generation fan.
 
My bike is parked out in a pasture at work, this is what it was when I got on today after work and the later is it cooled off when I got home. Needless to say i burned my buns!

After Durango, I rode up to Boulder where the temp. yesterday got to 104. The wife and I could not stand it so we ran for the mountains this morning. Currently at Estes Park at a more reasonable 88 deg.

want to trade the temp for 7 days of rain.

my wife's wastewater treatment plant usually treats 3 million gallon per day.

its averaged over 10 million gallon per day for the past 3 days.

We will take the rain!!!!! Been watering the fruit trees since we got back from Durango..... the grass is dying.. and on it's own.... at least I won't have ta mow it!!!:2thumbs:
 
Rode early...not too bad

Wife was off of work today and we got an early start this morning. We wanted to put the new rear shock and the updates to the test. Left the house when it was 81 @ 8am, not too bad but knew it was coming. Drove down into Quinland by the lake then decided to head for home. Temp began to rise very quickly and te sweat was flowing. Completed the 75 mile ride @ 11am as the temp was reading 102. Glad we started early, spent the rest of the day in the pool!
 
103 Degrees ...

Going 2 b between 102 and 103 degrees in parts of Georgia (my part) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday according to The Weather Channel!!! :opps:
