• 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.

    I was riding with a small group on Saturday. Two of the bikes were older Harleys. Both guys came to a grinding stop because they didn't switch over to reserve.

    Russell Day Long vs Ultimate Seat for RTS

    I am considering getting a custom seat for my 2011 RTS-SE5. I've been looking at the Russell Day Long and Ultimate. The regular seat on the RTS is probably great for many people but I have a "boney butt" for lack of a better statement. Both seats appear worthy. The only thing that bothers me...
