• 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.

Joe's Gizzard City Meet Sat. April 9th 13:00

Looks like everyone had a good time. Sorry The Buckeye crews missed the party, but we never got out of the State. tajohn blew a belt on the way to meet Eric and I at Toledo. It was not pretty...the belt that is. None of us had anyone's phone numbers to let you know we weren't going to make Joe's.

I'll post pictures later. You're going to wonder how the hell they limped the last 30 miles to the dealership when you see the gory details of the belt. Most of the teeth were gone. :yikes: Spent most of the afternoon getting a new belt put on. Never leave friends stranded :lecturef_smilie:

We still ended up having a great time in the afternoon ryding along the Maumee river. I logged almost 500 miles today...tired...going to bed.
 
After seeing the video...got a little extra energy to show the reason why we were a no-show. If you look close, most of the belt at the top was completely without teeth and some of the ones at the bottom were also gone.

tajohn came rolling into the dealership going "clunk" "clunk" "clunk" "clunk" :gaah: 3 1/2 hours later were were back on the road.

We definitely missed you and I am so sorry about Tim's belt. You are right though, never strand your riding group or leave friends behind. We will have plenty more opportunities and the season is truly beginning.

Recover well and heal quickly and we will look forward to seeing you next time. Right now it looks like a Sat. ride through the Tunnel of Trees on June 4th. There is a thread started for it already. You should be all healed up by then. I also invited some of the bikes from church to join us.
 
Oh man, I'm bummed. Wish we could have been there, but work comes first. Looks like everyone had a great time. Really had my taste buds wanting some gizzards....yum...yum. Maybe next time. Not sure about the Tunnel of Trees in June, but we are thinking of going back up there in the fall for the colors like last year.

Kay and I had a wonderful time at Gizzard city . All the good people we met. We are looking:ohyea: forward to many more trips. The funny face is how we feel riding the Spyder.

Oh for sure we will have more opportunities to get together with everyone from Michigan. Eric and tajohn both have GoPro videos to share of our afternoon ride. I'm sure those will be posted soon.

Are these two different events, one says June and coincides with the BRP owners event and the other says July?
 
Sorry everybody, but as others stated OSR had a bumpy start Saturday. By the time we put all the legs on tajohn's sypder it was too late for us to meet up with you guys. Next time we will get cell numbers. (damn I was looking forward to the deep fried cheeseburger.) Oh well it is on our agenda this year. Hope to meet up with you soon!
