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.

and how were they?
Hello Skypup,
Well the two questions I have for you are, how do you like the corbin seats and what type of highway pegs did you get and how do you like them as well?

Worth it
The corbin seats are money well spent. They just fit so well and are really comfortable. I experienced the stock seat on a 200 mile ride and the corbin on a 300. I could have kept on going with the corbin. You feel more "planted" on the bike with the corbin and don't shift around in the turns. It's the difference between riding a horse and sitting in a plush seat. My wife commented that our bikes actually feel better than our car. I'm not sure what brand the pegs are but maybe you will know from the pic. With the pegs your legs are further apart and the brake is either tapped with the heel of your foot or you entire foot is lifted and moved to the original position for braking. It takes a little getting use to but feels more comfy on a long ride. Hope this helps.

sorry
I use to work in Ohio and also lived in Pennsylvania. I am an avid radio control flyer (45 years). When we moved here I asked how many bad days there were and they said maybe 4 or 5.....I couldn't believe it. It really is nice not having to put the bikes away. Did that it the past. The coldest month in San Antonio is January and it averages 62F during the day. The summer heat can be brutal.

Hubby and I are ryding from Houston to Big Bend this spring, staying away from the border. Your pics are so beautiful! Can you tell me which roads they were taken from? We would love to ryde them as part of our trip.
route
I wasn't leading but I believe we were taking 187 and 337 between Utopia and Leakey. Do a google satellite and you will see how hilly it is thru that area. A really enjoyable ride.

Your welcome. If you go to the 4:30 mark on this video it will give you a little sense of the terrain.

Beautiful! Big Bend will be our first 'shake down cruise' for the Spydee and me. Hubby is the navigator (If you want to get lost, follow me...) and will be reading this thread tonight. Thanks for all the pics and info.
I'll be watching your video over and over waiting for spring.
Thanks! :thumbup:

70's! Nice! We're done w/ 70's till next year - very pretty pics - looks like nice riding country!
I didn't much care for the 70's. Too much disco music.

I think I recognize that road your on and I can imagine that is an awesome ride.:thumbup: I remember what it was like in a car. Couldn't tell you the name or number of it, but I think I know where that is. I miss that scenery.
