• 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.

    Winter Storage

    I just plan to change oil/filter, Add stabilizer ( even though I am not sure that is warranted since the machine is in my basement which has fairly stable temps. and I have never put it in any of my machines). But that won't be until it snows and they put salt down.

    BREAK SQUEAL

    Last month I developed a break squeal in the left wheel during a 500 mi. rally. Very pronounced especially after a left hand turn. It went away, now its back.
