my daughter and I well remember the high winds on the trip to Custer, SD as we went through KS and NE.
Wx reports were in the 40 to 50 mph range....
going west, the Suburban and RV tried to ride the ditches,

was grateful when we could turn North and have a Tail wind to push the 'burb for 2 extra MPG.

Coming home? absolutely miserable, there were no "Favorable Winds"

John. is there any way that new members could be reminded to fill out the signature line? I know you can't force them to do this, but that info would make it easier for other members to help them.
AND some of the older members!!
the folks up in Canada who maintain this forum, have refused to fix that very situation since Day One.

I immediately complained when we first were introduced to this Xenforo mess to do that very thing.
Steve Saunder's software enforced that, if they did not fill out the profile, they were not allowed to Register.

Sounds like Canada has different privacy rules and are pushing them on us. Is there any way to let new users to PLEASE fill out the signature line. Maybe a sticky on on the register page, if that is not part of VS.
I know some users would rather not show personal information, but year, model and City do not compromise their identity.
Just makes it hard for anyone to respond to a question. Even asking the OP for that information does not help. They don't put it in further posts.
IT Team refuses to modify our software, they have well over 1,000 forums now, and they are all straight out of the can, except for the headers and nominal Setup Features that they are able to use a CHECKBOX

Thanks again John. looks like we have to keep reminding posters about year and model. I know I've passed answering a few because of this.
I have made it my 1st Priority to watch the postings to see if the Header or the post indicates what bike they own.
when I see that, I then modify their profiles to put that info where it belongs....

I will NOT make any exceptions for this, you will post your info, or I will do it for you
