Is it just me?

If you go to this link do you too see what is in the picture or are the ads adjusted to me?

I see different ads. I think the ad-bots can search the cookies on your computer, see what websites you've looked at recently (or google searched for) and then puts up ads that relate to that topic. I know that on my home computer I see a fair amount of Vic ads. Or if I have searched for something, like anti-virus software, I suddenly start seeing a lot of ads for that software.

So, in short, yes, it is just you.

Websites have used smart sourcing for advertising for awhile now. I have a forum I'm very active on that's from a Kawi dealer out in MT. Naturally, when I started looking at the XR, there were ads ALL over the site for Vics. As well as on Yahoo, the local paper's site, etc. Most sites use them now and they just pull from your recent cookies and searches.

LOL - Looks like my computer's wallpaper. :-D

Maybe your computer is trying to motivate you to get a new touring bike, since yours is probably at CrashedToys.com by now. ;-)

Kidding aside - how's the bike insurance and search going for you?

I'd tell them you need a NEW adjuster! They're killing valuable riding time!

No ads for me. I browse with regular cookies blocked except for forums I visit, and use the BetterPrivacy browser plugin to keep flash cookies wiped. I guess those things work.
