• 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.

    Thunderstorms last night and clear air this morning! (y) The prediction is that we're done with the smoke for a while and cooler air is moving in. Time to ride!!!

    Who's 'He'? Inquiring minds, you know... So, other than it being hot and humid with enough smoke to hamper your breathing yesterday, it was a beautiful day? I admire your optimism. (y)

    Smoke from the Canadian Wildfires reaching Wisconsin - anyone/anywhere else in the lower 48?

    Yesterday around here in Northern Illinois the AQI was near more normal levels and no apparent smoke to breathe. Today it's back into the crap for us with the AQI around 250 at the moment with the smoke very visible.

    Too hot to ride, or maybe I’m just getting old

    Too hot to ride and too much smoke to go outside! Old or not, it's miserable outside.

    Smoke from the Canadian Wildfires reaching Wisconsin - anyone/anywhere else in the lower 48?

    Right now, the smoke is absolutely the worst it's ever been here! Terrible! All the windows are shut, of course, and the AC is on, of course. I have had, for a year or so now, two floor standing, quality (Blueair) air cleaners/filters in the house, the big filters. One downstairs and one...

    Say Goodbye to the Night Sky?

    https://spaceweather.com/ THIS SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY BAD IDEA: Since SpaceX began launching Starlink satellites in 2019, astronomers have grown increasingly concerned. It's almost impossible now to take a deep-sky image without satellite streaks in the background. The megaconstellation numbers...

    Hot and humid, humid and hot. It's a broken record! Did I mention the heat and humidity? Plenty of sunshine too.

    My Uncle was hurt in this 2026 RTL Crash!

    Good luck to your uncle! Head lacerations and road rash? Does your uncle ride with a helmet and protective gear, or not?

    Rodents chose my 16 RTL as a home

    This very thing has been discussed many times over at the CPAP forum. https://www.cpaptalk.com/viewforum.php?f=1 Peppermint oil isn't supposed to be inhaled deep into your lungs, and it can be with a CPAP forcing that air into your lungs. I just googled this and google is in agreement. I...

    Happy 250th Birthday America!

    Sorry, I don't agree with the bolded statement above. In fact, my wife tells me that this is a problem that I have. I expect more from people than I should and I'm almost always let down. She says not to expect too much, and you won't be let down. Easier to say than to do.

    Rodents chose my 16 RTL as a home

    I don't hesitate to use fast acting poison baits to kill rodents, but glue traps are, IMO, barbarous! Years ago, at work, they were placing these glue traps in various places inside of the building that I worked in. I walked into the loading dock on the way to my office one morning and I heard...

    Rodents chose my 16 RTL as a home

    Say what? You're using peppermint oil in your CPAP machine to keep the mice away? Where in/on your machine are you putting this oil? Please don't tell me that you're putting the oil in the water reservoir and that you're inhaling this? That's a HUGE no no. I've been using a CPAP for 15 years...

    I like to travel light, wallet, keys, and my phone. They all fit in my pockets, and I don't have to worry about the possibility of forgetting my carry-on luggage.

    Happy 250th Birthday America!

    While I most certainly appreciate your optimism, Ron, I had to fix your statement above. If only your statement was 100% true! Not everyone has an area of excellence and most certainly not everyone does their part to make the world better. Some just want to cause trouble for others, that's what...

    I've been seeing guys wearing those cross-body bags a lot lately and I've been wondering WTF is up with that? They're like a fanny pack with a longer belt that goes around your shoulders. A 'man purse', if you will! 🤯

    Outside or inside? If inside, place poison bait traps around the Spyder. If outside, dunno.

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    I went the other way for my Spyder audio. It's all in my helmet. Cardo System bike intercom that uses high-quality JBL drivers in the helmet. These sounds GREAT! It's like having a quality pair of headphones on, it's that good to my tired old ears anyway.
