Sorry for the downtime! We moved to a new ISP with a much faster connection to the Internet back bone and to a new server that we built to max overkill. Sort of like putting a 124" in XL frame speed wise. We attempted to pull the old Bike Talk information but it was a no go so you will need to create new accounts etc.

We'll be creating forums shortly and input is welcome for the topics you want. There are tons of features and we will be enabling those soon.

Some very nice features to the board. Gotta fix my avatar or profile pic to be within 100x100 pixels.

Damn..Junior member?

I wanted SK as my user name, but it said it had to be 3 characters or more..CD?

Looks great and appears to have better features. Even adding images is a lot easier. Would have been great if this version would have allowed the info from the previose Bike Talk to be added. Are you going to arcive the old Bike Talk and allow it to still be viewed? Was a lot of useful info there. If server room isn't an issue you may be able to allow access to the old info and use a search engine, such as http://www.picosearch.com/, to allow everyone to search for information and tips.

Hey SK, it is new ya know. I am tinkering with it as I get spare seconds. This month has been on a tear since day one and is not slowing down. We've ripped out the South wall and have added three more order positions and tech positions.
At any rate, I fixed your name at least.

Thanks for changing the username to SK there CD..much easier on me. And we're now on training wheels instead of being Junior members!

Thumbs up

The new site is very nice CD... but also very different. Its gonna take some time to learn what all these new features do. I do hope we'll be able to access old files from the previous system. Like someone else said earlier, there was a lot of valuable information on the old system.

New bike's great, just don't get enough time to ride it though. The Star is staying at a friend's house up by Sacramento so I have it when I go up there (like the past 3 weeks until getting back to Vegas Tuesday).

So yes..I'll ride it down. Will try to call you later today about coming down.

First off, thanks for keeping the bb alive..this looks pretty good. Been a funny year ,some skiing couldn't get the Aprilia Tuono..Transport Canada doen't like 'em. I've been breaking in the E-G..box stock and slow as hell..but the scary thing is that I really like the bike...like a big 'ol Buick. I'll try to visit more often..and again, thanks.
