Re: Tire blowout while riding at high speed, what's the likely outcome?

I had a nail in my rear - didnt know it, parked it in the garage, fell over onto my car's fender and light causing $2K in damage. :) It happened sometime during the night - came out to find my bike missing! When I looked around the corner of my car I realized it was on its side, perched on my car. T...

2017 raffle??!?!! Whos in?

I was thinking of organizing another raffle. I don't think we've had one since 2014, so its about time! Is there enough interest out there to organize one?! We need to pay the yearly site bill, and this may be a good way to facilitate that. Usually we'll get some BMW-specific vendors to donate parts...

Re: Large board update

Ok, looks like I found out what was wrong.. I did a large home directory backup (4.5gigs!) and when the server did its space check, it started denying any requests that needed space. I put a temp increase on the space and am downloading the backup. Looks to be in order now. Let me know if you guys s...

Re: Repainted the Rockster

post approved - I added your other text from the other post, I'm sorry about the trouble - just found out what was going on.. feel free to edit your post and change it how you want! You wont require other approvals after the first one or two - its a spam countermeasure.

Re: Large board update

Yup, growing pains. Let me know if something really errks you and I'll attempt to fix it. In general I try not to mess with it too much - learned that lesson the hard way over the years, every update tends to break any mods I've done. I'm suffering from one at the moment - new post approvals are bro...

Large board update

We were a little behind on the updates, so I performed a large one tonight. Your preferred style may have changed, but I've added a couple back in, so have a look in your settings and you can choose which one you like. Please let me know if you see anything weird!

Thanks all! Happy Holidays!!

Re: Sharpening a chainsaw, there's nothing like experience

Thats pretty interesting! Hes good to listen to. :) I always wondered about sharpening - I usually bring it to a local hardware store for sharpening ($15) but they are never as good as new. I'm going to take a closer look at mine to see if the height was shaved down - I dont think it was. Thanks for...

Re: Riding Motorcycles When You Have Young Kids At Home....

I stopped road racing when I had kids - at 150mph if you lose a tire, you're in the wall! But I didnt stop riding. I am however a lot more careful than I used to be. I ride at 75% of my and my bikes ability, and I leave room everywhere for a "way out" should the need arise. I keep a little...

After I or a moderator sees them and approves the first couple, you are free to post at will and they will show up immediately. We do this painstaking process to avo...
