There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I haven't yet been as far as Tofino on the bike. Did go to Port Alberni a few times this summer. That is a nice drive on the bike, some good twisties, and I always love going through Cathedral Forest and seeing the big old growth trees. Pretty amazing just how big those monsters can get! Wish there were more!

Crap, as if my bucket list of rides was not already long, adding another!

The last time I rode past Port Alberni to Tofino, the road was pretty rough. After seeing your video, it will be a walk in the park for you.

Thank you so much for sharing this great video with us. I love good scenery, and you sure have found a nice chunk of it. The drone footage was icing on the cake.

Some of them pot holes remind me of the Illinois roads. :roflblack:
But that did look like fun to get out there and do that. :thumbup:

I know what you mean. I get out of Boone County, Illinois before I start enjoying the ride. Luckily Boone is fairly small. Same thing goes while I'm on my bicycle.

Thanks for sharing.
Certainly highlights the challenge to missing pot holes and such with a triple track, as compared to a M/C on a single track.

Totally, I am a bit envious of my friend with his two-wheeler being able to dodge the holes much easier! But hey, the Rally allows me to get out there and do it, so for that I am more than grateful!
Yeah, but you should also consider that all the shock loads & bumps from those he actually DOES hit get transferred thru just 2 contact patches that in TOTAL are only about HALF the size of any ONE of your THREE contact patches!! Besides, you've almost certainly got 'bigger tires' than he does too, meaning there's somewhat more volume of 'shock absorbing' air inside them; so I'm pretty sure that I know which vehicle & rider will actually be scoring LESS of a pounding from the rough road surface - and it ain't the two wheeler!
Great Vid regardless tho! :thumbup: Got any more??

I have a few on my youtube channel, but do plan to come out with more as time allows. One of the great things about living on the West (some folk call the Wet) Coast, the riding season is long. The snow is definitely creeping down the mountains lately, but in the low lands we can go all winter without a great deal of snow. It all depends on the year, some years not much, and others there can be snow on the ground for several weeks to a month or so. Typically however in the low laying areas we are snow-less. Since I have been working from home since the pandemic, I have not had to insure my car, and have just relied on the Ryker. I can pick the time I go out on the bike, and it won't be on a rainy wet one! The Ryker insurance is due next week though, so I will have to decide to park it or just go for it and put a full year on it and keep on riding. I am leaning toward the latter. :2thumbs:

I call this place the Pacific Northwet. When outsiders ask me when is the rainy season, I tell them From January 1 to December 31. But they still move here. The rain is a good tradeoff for the great riding here. Within a 100 mile radius, I can ride to the ocean, valleys, mountains, high desert, canyons, volcanoes, and along big rivers such as the Columbia. And I can get there without riding on a freeway, nice curvy roads.
