• 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.

hi bob having a swell time:clap:
 
We made it!

We ended up delayed about 5 hours but arrived in Petoskey around 6:30 PM.

The dealer didn't have a GPS in stock and they only had one RT in their showroom so they wouldn't take the GPS off a donor bike.

They were able to clear the codes and get it running so after consulting with Lamonster, we decided to go for it.
 
Hope y'all are having a good time..Wanted to go but Cindi's schedule wouldn't allow it...so anyways Mr Spydie's sitting in the garage with half of my new wrap installed..gonna finish the wrap today. This wrap is gonna be awesome...Pete sells a quality product and his service is terrific.. If you're contemplating a paint job check into the wraps first..Will save you a lot of money and you still have the ability to customize your own look. I'll post pics of Mr Spydie when he finishes getting dressed.

Bob, here is the link to the photo's of the tunnell of trees. They are larg files and can be downloaded. They should be able to crop them and still get a good picture. Feel free to do with them what you want. I enjoyed meeting you and the group. I hope our paths will cross again in the future.

Had a Great Time

Hi all,
Emily and I had a great time. Bob, thanks for putting this together. The rides were great. While we had put more continous hours on our bike this was the longest we had spent on the bike in a day. We enjoyed everyone's company and look forward to next year. The pics are great. Once again thanks. :2thumbs:
 
This weekend is just what Rich and I needed. Making new friends was priceless. Thank you Bob, for putting this on. Can't wait to do it again.
