Hi all, just checking in as it’s been a while. Got a new to me toy in the spring so the VR has gotten little miles this season 😕. Honestly I was going to get rid of the girl for a dresser more favorable to my short leg dilemma, but went a different route and decided to keep her. Looked at a Beautiful Roadmaster, just couldn’t come to terms on price with the seller. Ended up making the move to add some more Italian to the garage and picked up a MG California Vintage! Gotta say I absolutely love it 😍. Season was great until about a month ago during a Moto rally camping event I tripped over a tent line and broke my ankle in a vole hole 🩼🩼. So now I’m home recovering from surgery with loads of time on my hands to accomplish those winter projects and not the mobility to execute 😭. Anyway, hope y’all are having a great season, and with any luck I’ll still get in a few fall rides. here’s a few pics of my new toy

I thought who was on 1st.

I can't wait but I got a lot of riding before then.

I think it's time for sheepskin on that seat. You can get it dyed any color, maybe purple. LOL

Folks, in spite of us having an area specifically designated for posting classifieds, people continue to post them in the Watering hole and other areas of the forum. I have addressed this issue many times in the past and am going to address it this one last time. Maybe people would prefer that we have NO other areas. Just remove them all and just have the Watering Hole? It would make it hard to find things but that seems to be where everybody wishes to post it all anyway. There are several reasons why anything for sale should NOT be place anyplace except the classifieds or at the very least, the forum "Links to Classifieds, Ebay, Craigslist and etc." The first reason is that the posts there automatically delete themselves after a predetermined length of time. That prevents me or the other moderators from going through the Watering Hole or other areas and manually deleting posts for items and etc. on Ebay that are long expired. The second reason is because the members here, NOT me, decided long ago that they wanted our classifieds open to post only from supporting members. The consensus was that you didn't want strangers that have never participated here joining up as trial members when the only intention they have is to try and sell something. You wanted the ads to be from people that are supporting members here that you know and trust. That was YOUR decision. If you have changed your mind just let me know and I'll open the classifies to everybody. It somewhat defeats the purpose of making the classifieds read only if people are allowed to post their for sale items anywhere they want to. Your ads should be posted in the Classifieds. When you post them there a post is automatically created in the "Links to Classifieds" forum so you are also automatically posting it to the forum. There is not reason to then ALSO post a message in the watering hole or anywhere else that "hey...I just place my bike in the classifieds"..... So, for several years now I have asked several times that you stop posting ads where they shouldn't be. I have deleted a very few that were posted but the vast majority of the time, I take the time to manually move it to the correct place and just keep quite about it. It especially bothers me to delete an ad that I can tell a lot of time went into creating so once again I will take the time to move it to the correct place and let it go. So no more mister nice guy. Any ad that I see posted in the Watering Hole or any of the other forums will be deleted as soon as I see it. Regardless of the effort that was put in creating the ad, I am deleting it. This will make a few people mad. I'm sorry about that but this has been discussed many times.
