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.

Patti, be sure to turn onto US 40 off of I-70 at Lawson. You'll love the switchbacks between I-70 and Winter Park. I traveled US 40 two years ago on my 'wing. Really a great ride! But I didn't get to see the switchbacks, really. It was foggy! :banghead:

Let's hope the vest arrives in one piece and is not defective in any way. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
Depending on your time frame, Elko Nv has Elko Motorcycle Jamboree over fathers day weekend. Usually 3000 to 5000 bikes. Its a great time, live music and friendly people. Good riding as well. I would recommend I-80 from Salt Lake City Utah through Elko, Winnemucca on into Reno. The weather is scheduled to be mid 80s. Hope that helps.....

Coolvest is 70 deg for 3 hours using only 2 & another 3 hours for other 2 packets
Hi Patti,
Probably too late a reply, as I think you already ordered the Evap vest.
But I have used Coolvest for several years in Arizona 100-115 deg summer days.
It works great keeping me cool. I have the Sport vest for the extra support strap.
I use just 2 packets in front & lasts for 3 hours, packets core temp 70 deg.
I then use the other 2 packets in front for another 3 hours.
I have 4 spare packets, so can keep cool all day riding F3S SE6 Spyder!!
Read the info about it on website.
The Military has used Coolvest for years in Iraq & Afganistan; even their Dogs.

Thank you for such a nice reply about my F3S TOURING Spyder.
Rode to Springfield, Mo/bought from Len at Pitbull April 8th 2015.
Sounds like a great ride to Alaska!!!
Enjoy.

Hi, Jim. Thanks for the info. But I guess I'll muddle through with the vest I have on order. Just hope it gets her soon, as I expect it will. I'm glad you like your F3. I'll probably go with that next time, but it will be a few year before I'm ready.

Patti,
If your vest does not arrive in time, head to your local WalMart and buy the synthetic chamois/towel that they sell for car drying or as a camping towel. They absorb and hold moisture very well and are large enough to wrap around your neck under your jacket. You can also cut one smaller to fit on your head under your helmet. Enjoy your ride, see you in Chelan.

I got the email today that the vest will be delivered tomorrow. I actually ordered 2, so I could select a size and return the other one. So I think I'm set. See you in Washington!

I head to Reno each year, the weather swings widely but I would expect in the high 90's. I was there late May this year to beat the heat, it was cold and rainy for the entire week. I guess the sweet spot is the first and second week of June, I hit over a hundred in late June a few years back.

Klamath
I just rode from the Oregon Coast (Gold Beach back toward Utah and went through Klamath Falls. The area was extremely hot. 95-100 and breaking all sorts of records in the area according to the citizens in the area I spoke to while fueling up. It was still worth the ride. Just made more frequent stops to stay hydrated. Enjoy the ride. I loved the coast. We rode from Ft. Bragg Ca. to Gold Coast. Did all the side rides in between. Had to do Chandelier Tree and rode the Avenue of the Giants Scenic Byway. Amazing is all I can say.

Now that I have the cooling vest in hand, I'm moving this to another thread I had about (over)planning.
