      Yay! I finally was able to log in! But someone please tell me how to attach a photo to your log-in. I can’t find it. Also, why do we have an “Anonymous” member? And why does John have “Velcro” as his nickname? Maybe that’s why I had trouble logging in.

      Welcome TheChief, Bud, & BigRed.  This has been a work in progress for the last 5 months, and it’s great to finally hear from RFTW’s riders.

      Let us know what ya do and do not like, and we’ll do our best to iron out any wrinkles.

      Thanks for the welcome Wicked. To early to voice an opinion on the new site, but so far everything seems to work fine. The home page is eye catching, and I see all the route motorcycles have riders now! 🙂 The store worked fine as well but seems a bit bare??? Kinda miss the different emoticons to insert for added explanations…unless I just haven’t found them yet?? The big test will be to add photos or web pages, I’ll try that later. Going to be fun watching the family sign on and read all the ooops…!!! 🙂 🙂

      Signatures are now activated. You can go to your profile and add one.

      The “Gravatar” feature is currently disabled because we were told it could slow the site down. If you go to your profile, and scroll to where it says “AVATAR”. You can upload a and change your picture there.

      Trying to enter emoji from Apple’s OS X by using Command + Control + Space

      ???? Yep, it works great…a little popup appears from which you can select the emoji of your choice

      and there are all kinds of emoji’s available, not just smileys but many others as well.  Not sure if the selection is as broad on Windows platforms….

      OK, using Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 running in Parallels on my iMac running OS X El Capitan

      but I do not see how to use the built-in emoji’s on the Windows 10 On-Screen keyboard.

      Perhaps some Window 10 user can provide guidance …..

      Made it here.  Was a bit shocked at first when I went to check the forums, hadn’t been here in a couple months.

      Well I made it over also, wasn’t too hard.  Looking forward to May, we are going to try our best to make it to Ontario so we can go all the way.  Everyday I do a little here and a little there to get ready for May.  We’re registered and have had motel reservations made since July, can not wait.

      I think I have watched all the youtube video’s of the 2016 run of the central route and even the middle and southern.  Seems like I can’t get enough of it. I’ve spotted us in several of the video’s and it was kinda cool.  I also watched a lot of the rolling thunder video’s trying to see if I could spot us, but to no avail I couldn’t find us.  Then finally I found us in one.

      Now we only did part of the run this year, joined in Wentzville, MO.  But like I said we plan on going all the way next year.  I want to let everyone in central route know that after DC we had planned to go over to the coast of Maryland and then down to the outerbanks of North Carolina, Kitty hawk and  further south.  Well we left Monday morning and headed towards Maryland and we ran into that tropical storm that was coming up the coast.  We was in quite of bit of rain and all of a sudden the bike broke down.  It would run but would not go in gear, we have that silver Can Am Spyder RT w/trailer.  It has the electric shift, no clutch.  Anyway we were stranded for two hours in the rain trying to get a tow truck.  Well to make a long story short, never got it running, but we got the bike home and fixed.  Problem was I had a lot of led lights on the bike and it caused the system in the computer to shut down,  Lesson learned, I took care of that and everything has been fine since.  I now know how you fell THUMB.

      By the was THUMB I read your post and I agree with everything that you said about RFTW, couldn’t of said it any better myself.  See you in May in Ontario.
