Welcome to the forum. Glad to hear that you are back on a bike after a long lay off. Lots of us can relate to that. The traffic on here has been slow lately, I guess everybody is just out riding in the nice warm weather.

welcome to the forum. Burkbuilds, you are right. I've been out riding. I've got several articles in the works that I hope to complete in the next few weeks, but if the weather is nice it may turn into several weeks

welcome abourd. i was starting to wonder if this was a dead forum or not. i guess everyone has been out riding their bikes lately.

Yep, same here. Doing a lot of riding, and most of the free time has been spent reassembling the Silverwing so a lot of my forum time has been on that board. Did get a new front tire on the 500 a couple of weeks ago and it's been a huge improvement. Checked the tread depth on the rear tire and I'm still showing a solid 5/32" at over 6k miles.

Welcome to the forum. Hang in there, as the weather cools down we'll all spend more time on the forums. I too have been riding whenever it's not raining. Found a great new meet-up group and have been doing a lot of group rides; big fun!

Welcome to the forum. Slow lately. I wish it would cool down a bit myself.
