Thanks for looking over the site. What do you think about the look? Comment on it, sound off good or bad. Shocked

I will be doing some more work on the header of the site soon What do you all think should go there?

All in all I love the site. I kinda like the idea that I joined when it was brand new. Very pleased that you have implemented mine and other members inputs to the site. I think you could probably do away with the poll of "do you want an unrestricted site" 'cause this is America and we love our freedom and hate restrictions. Bikers in particular! If someone wants a nanny to monitor every damn thing that goes on we may as well join the aclu and march to the politically correct. Ok, enought about that.
Scrolling pics are cool. Albums are even cooler. Shouts are a great idea. One thing I would like to see is the ability to see who else is logged in as well as a members list. Maybe thats already there and I just haven't figured it out yet. Keep up the great job and ride safe.

I did the the new user menu so we can see who is logged. Good idea and I added a "U.S. Customs and Border Protection is currently under condition" in the lower right hand side bar. I will check on the user list thing, I want to make sure that robots can not scan the personal info. Had an issue with that before.

Gerald...........I'm glad you decided not to remove the your site,as we talked and to give it a chance. And as you see,it's paying off,as the words out about your site and they're a few familiar names I see,which is fantastics being we should all support everyones efforts,when a fresh idea is brought to the table. After all we all have one thing in common and that's our XS 650 and it's people like us from around the world,that keep this most addictive motorcycle alive and thumping down the road.

The color theme was a great choice plus you've done an excellent job on the whole format layout. The weathers almost rideable again Gerald, so lets hook up soon...........Jack

Hi Jack,
Good to hear from you again. Thanks for the kind words about the site but, I want everyone to understand that this is not my site. It belongs to all the users thats sign up and users it. What ever they want is what I will try and do.

As for the weather I'm riding every day to work and taking the long way home just to get a little riding in. I bet it's colder where you are, I took a ride up the blue ridge the other day, just a few miles and man it got really cold in the higher mountains.

Is there anything you can think of that the site could use? Let me know.

Hey Russo, I know I haven't been around for a while but what happened to the shout box. I thought that was pretty cool.

Thanks, The software that runs it is a work put together by hundreds of folks all working to get a great system up and running and there is no cost for the software it just needs to be setup on a good server.

Hello Russo,
Great job on the site! Out of curiosity I did the search members list for locations to see who might be close to my location. Is there any way that when you search this way the States or Country are listed first? Right now there is no set order.
