    Noone was more disappointed than myself and our webmaster. We must rebuild, it has been 17 days since the crash and we are coming back strong. I applaud everyone in their effort to restore the site back to where it was. It will take sometime but we will recover. Just keep posting anything motorcycle related.

    It was unfortunate but several websites lost everything. The day of the crash the hacker group known as "ANONYMOUS" attacked Century Link's Internet services for 12 hours. Century Link customers were not able to access the internet during that time. The hackers were successful in crashing several Hosting servers and corrupted the back-up servers. Don't know how they did it, but they did.

    To put it in simple terms, imagine putting the data of over 100 websites through a paper shredder, then tossing it off a 50 story building …. good luck in finding the data of a specific website ……. is virtually impossible. I have some of the corrupted data, the estimate to restore it by a professional is approximately 160 -180 hours

    Since the crash (on a weekly basis) I have been backing up the website on my personal external hard drive. Our hosting company has new servers and also backs up the data on a daily basis.

    Speedy, once in a while we get knocked down on our ass, you just have to get back up on our feet and keep pushing forward, never quit, never look back but always learn from the past.

    I'd like to see ABS, although the linked braking is far better than I expected

    I don't care much about cruise. A Throttlemeister or other throttle lock is great on the long boring stretches. On hills and twisties, I like all-manual throttle.

    The paint could be a lot better, but I can't help but think this will get resolved with enough effort from all of us.

    Fix the paint and leave the rest just as is. If you want all the bells and whistles, buy a GL1800 big Gold Wing or other over accessorized bike. The F6B is uniquely simple. Just keep it that way!
