    Morning all.
    Did anyone else use to frequent the R65 forum?
    originally they were at www.r65.org but taht was infected with viagara sales

    They then re-established and you used to be forwarded to another site. I haven't been able to access it for ages, my browser keeps timing out trying to find it.

    Does anyone know where it went?

    Top site for R65 specific info

    thanks

    Definitely on some colourful sites, but youtube, this forum, horizons etc etc no worries. Never used to have a problem.

    I've got my IT people on it now (quiet day).

    it seems it has something to do with the new address, ending in .pl
    Our recently upgraded system here recognises the address as a script more than a site? (so the IT peole are telling me) and for whatever reason, doesn't like it.
    Without a valid business reasson, I probably can't get it changed.

    Bugger....

    Had a problem connecting to the site a while back as well, right in the middle of posting and ever since. Mailed with the admin about it, in the end only solution was another modem/router (switched from zyxel to linksys for another reason), even though I thoroughly checked all settings. So check the site from another place.

    it normally does, and still doesn't work for me, the new name.
    I set up a differnt computer at work, that is connected externally, and it worked, so there is some issue with our internet protocols here.

    I have bought the nicest 1986 R65, 1407 miles from a Denver estate sale. The owner bought it new rode it 1400 miles and put it in his garage and never took it out. The best thing about it was no one touched it, it still had the original boshe plugs in it. awesome. I have a new R1200R but find myself riding this every chance I get.

    Great Site BTW if you have a R65, helped me in many ways with my little Bemmer.
