LAST UPDATE: 2005/04/23Description of most recent updates |
|---|
| Updated Tommy Crawford's address on the suppliers page. |
|
No change to the contents of these pages in the new millenium; Peter Graf
is now maintaining the content at
www.rg500.net, but both of us are
short of time. The email address on these pages is flooded with spam,
and I read it infrequently. Please use a distinctive subject
(preferably containing at least "rg500") to stand out between the spam. Note the FOR SALE pages are still fully operational |
| Maintenance on the site is frozen because of emigration of the webmaster. Image archive is temporarily off line so a lot of links will not work. But now the good news: The site will soon rise like a phoenix, at a new location (not yet active) www.rg500.net !! Keep checking! Many Thanks to Peter Graf and 'Gela for making this possible! |
| 23 Dec: Some problems with the automatic transition to the new list. Dan is working on hacking a few limitations out of the mailing list software. All is expected to be in order in a matter of days. |
| 18 Dec 1999: We're moving list. See the mailing list page. XS4ALL doesn't respond. We're over to the gamma mailing list. |
| There's a problem with the rg500 list that only affects receiving capabilities. Posting still works fine, receiving rg500-digest also works fine. The problem is under investigation. Watch this space for progress. |
| All postings since 03 March 1999 are now available via the on-line archive of the RG500 Mailing List |
| Jeff's sticker template is now on-line via the User Contributions Page |
| Updated Gamma Gatherings Page and User Contributions Page and Suppliers Page. Still lots of contributions on my harddisk to be added soon... |
| The FOR SALE or WANTED board has been fixed, a number of images have been added to the Image Archive thanks to Peter Graf, among them the Sport Rider article (thanks to Scott and Randy) that can be accessed through the Magazine Articles Page. Several of your contributions are still waiting to be included, will work on it ASAP. |
| Moved info on gatherings and rides to dedicatedGatherings page |
| Added Kevin's user contribution on installation of an RGV250M swingarm |
| ANOTHER contribution by Randy to the FAQ! |

Major update of the Magazine Articles
Page but please note large size of those pages which contain images. If
loading is too slow, server must be under heavy load. Please
re-try another day, when the novelty has worn off and the number of
requests goes down.
I am grateful to many many RG500 fans for their
help in getting information and in contributing with additional effort, for
this last update, notably Scott, Chris, Junji, Hirokazu, Peter and others, all
this in addition to those that contributed to earlier updates of the
information on the page. I AM LOOKING FOR FURTHER UPDATES, POINTERS TO ANY RG500-RELATED MAGAZINE/BOOK IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD IN ANY LANGUAGE |
| Another water injection curve, Greg's cylinders on Randy's cases, with Swarbrick pipes. Plus updated Suppliers Page (Oryx -> Jolly Moto). |
Wow!! Look at King Kenny Roberts on Rocky's GammaAnother KR image |
