    Bridgestone S21

    Name change for FastFreddy

    How do I change my forum name ? I can't use Fast Freddy anymore due to the sheer weight of slander towards me. He can't be associated with this nonsense. I don't ride that fast, unless there's a Gen Y in a Honda behind me about a foot away, (or some geezer in an expensive 4wd) and my...
