• 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.

Whoops I did it again! Got an M109 for the times that I still like to ride 2 wheels!

Well, I have been riding 2 wheels less and less. I loved the BMW K1600B, but it wasn't being ridden as much as it deserved lately and I couldn't see having that nice a bike sitting. But there are times that I still like to ride 2 wheels. Well, the stars aligned and a buddy of mine had a clean M109 for sale that had been sitting mostly for almost 5 years. For those that don't know, the M109 is somewhat of a muscle cruiser by suzuki. In fact, the M109 is how I first met Lamont. He was into them as much (not quite) as he is the spyder community now. This is an 08, and makes my 5th one. So I sold the BMW about 3 weeks ago and after the previous owner of the M109 paid off 5 years worth of back taxes, I was able to pick it up this weekend. I will be changing fluids and giving it a full detail over the next few weeks.

Nice. Looks like just rolled off show room floor. Might see you riding around Salisbury one of these days.

Whoops, I see you are in Wake county; was thinking it was Rowan. All the same, enjoy.

M109R. That's what I have! It is a BEAST! 150mph on that one.
As you can see, I have a long history with the M109. My 2006 was the first one that I purchased. My first bike was a 600cc yamaha sport bike, then a Suzuki LC1500. One was too fast, the other too slow. The M109 fit right where I wanted to be.
