• 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.

OUR NAMES

Name Game

Worked for Department of the Treasury in a previous life. Slang name of people (agents) who worked at the Treasury Department in the 30's in the movie "The Untouchables." The numbers 2201 is currently the address of my present Government employer. I still use the handle on other websites as well.
 
My nic is what I used to call our fat cat, Baxter (too soon passed from this world).

And my avatar is, or course, a yellow spider, which matches my 2014 RT-S.
 
SL- MONIKER

Well back in the 70's :yikes:, I belonged to ( I believe the first ) a Police officer motorcycle club....... " Blue Knights " , this name was already being used here so I added the " 911 " in memory of those who sacrificed it all for others ...... Mike :thumbup:
 
People at work, where my wife Debbie and I met, always called us Pebbles and Bam Bam. We were not seeing each other at the time, but we always tended to agree on most things. I spell Bam Bam incorrectly, according to the old Flintstones show but the double M in Bamm Bamm just doesn't look right.
 
I grew up riding horses, so when I went to motorcycles naturally they were flying horses hence Pegasus. The 1300 came from the Yamaha V4's I rode for25 years. That would be a great motor for a Spyder.
 
Jerbear

Way back when, often took two of my preteen nephews fishing and camping. Early on, they had this thing about a bear coming into camp. So, I shared a tall tale fireside story of why they didn't need to worry. Thus the name. Coolest thing is, those once little guys, are now grown men with preteens and teens of their own.
