• 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.

Awww C'mon: lighten up a bit... :shocked:
I don't know what his riding experience is, and I don't think that anybody asked him about it.
Please cut him a break; at least a small one...
It won't cost you a cent! :D
Bob, I still don't want Dr John as my doctor. Just me.:dontknow:
 
Check out the Bohn line, mesh underwear that holds armor! They've also got a jacket that's armored.

Well since no one has "Chimed" in from the Great Sonoran Desert. Anyone here who wears full atgatt in

115-120* heat (114*Sunday) is sloshing around side ways in his/her bloomers. In this area through

August it is well advised if your going to ride in the heat to wear, Helmut, long sleeve sun block shirt and

pants (loose of course) soaker vest worn under the shirt, Frog tog soaker neck wrap, and light boots

and of course light colored gloves. More than one biker riding through here has passed out on the road

from heat prostration. I am the first to wear all the mesh gear when reasonable, but certain

circumstances dictate other wise. If you don't have a soaker vest, soak your shirt every hour or so.

Every time you stop (no more than an hour)drink as much water as possible. You can loose 5 pounds

of water every several hundred miles here in the intense summer heat. Don't take this lightly. Not to

get to graphic but when your urine is getting dark stop riding. You are dehydrated to the point your

judgment and decision making will be flawed.

My best advise here for the next few months is ride early and bag it by 10:30 AM. Some of us making

long distance trips ride at night across the desert to SD and LA. Actually quite pleasant after 10 or 11

PM. You will arrive just before rush hour.
