• 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.

Deb...if you continue to have trouble, I'd suggest you join Photobucket and open a FREE account. You can bulk upload your pics and then title them. In the title, give me the item number that the photo satisfies.

Use the following Account Settings:
Album Settings: Public; Thumbnails per page 40; Sort: Alphabetical by filename; Allow others to see image location

Be sure to give me the URL once you've created the album

Hope this helps

I am beginning to feel like I should just ride and not worry about not knowing how to use a computer!
I joined Flickr per Biker1 directions.

Maybe someone has already answered this question, but with my slow internet connection I can not go back on all the threads to find out.
Is there any ONE place that I can check, to see who is taking place in the competition, and their pictures ?
Will I have to check multiple sites ? If so, is there any way of putting all of them on one page, so I can check them out at an internet cafe ?
Thanks in advance.

Nope, no standardization. Some use Flickr, some use Google Docs, Roadkill actually has a separate blog. Some have noted that there are folks on Irish's scoresheet that we've never seen, likely because of various site permissions.

I'm with you; I really enjoy seeing the other photos...

#2(d) and #66 (see POINTS in text)

+Last week, I rode to the 2010 Chicago Spyder Owners Event of June 25-27, with meandering travels anticipated so I could also visit the National Motorcycle Museum and, along the way, snag some additional points in the Scavenger Hunt. I left Thursday morning for an anticipated Friday evening Libertyville (North Chicago) arrival, without a planned route or destination this first night, simply aiming west. In fact, my posted trip route was this:
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10272.JPG

Starting in Walker Valley, NY (1), here's Day 1's gas stops (2 - 5) plugged into S&T 2002, with a terminus camp (6) in Findley State Park, Wellington, OH. (Route is not exact.)
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10278.JPG

A very nice place to overnight and, "Once a state forest, Findley State Park is heavily wooded with stately pines and various hardwoods. The scenic hiking trails allow nature lovers to view spectacular wildflowers and observe wildlife. The fields, forests and quiet waters offer a peaceful refuge for visitors."

Here's what the bike looked like before unpacking to camp the first night. The large bag containing essentials is a waterproof item from GuideGear, the red item is my tent, a camp chair is the greyish item (won't bother next time), and my Guidegear camp mattress is rolled atop. In the rear stash bag is a roll of emergency TP (never know), some faceshield soap, my overgloves for rain, and a plastic bungee jug which served secondary duty to prop the seat during refueling (because of the seat's load). To refuel, I'd simply loosen/tighten the large bag's straps at the grab-bar, ensure the parking brake was engaged sufficiently to push/lift the seat, and insert the bungee jug as a prop wedge. (Worked fine the entire trip.) In the trunk was a camp blanket & pillow, my briefcase with maps, phone, camera, etc., a cap and sundry bottles of hydration picked up as I travelled.
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10273.JPG

Day 2 (6 - 11) had me aiming for Libertyville for the night with an enroute Scavenger Hunt point snag of Chester, Michigan (8). (Route is not exact.)
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10279.JPG

I'll always find dirt roads. (Intersection of Chester and Carlisle.)

POINTS (#2d +50) Chester is a tiny unincorporated community in the southern part of the township of Chester, Michigan.

POINTS (#66 +50) As I left Michigan later on, I shot an image of the welcome sign spanning the northbound roadway.
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10280.JPG

On Day 3 (11 - 14), I just ditty-bopped between the owner's event in Lake Villa and the Libertyville hotel, with a gas stop in Grayslake (13).

Day 3, cont’d…
+While in the area of the Chicago Spyder Owners Event, I took a few miscellaneous shots. (I took a few plate images too, but I’ll post them in an upcoming OT/OPCI upload.)

Lake Villa P.D. CanAm Spyder. I wonder how well the radar gun mount on the muffler dissipates heat and isolates vibration? And check out how the gun wires are routed atop the muffler. Radar guns are sensitive electronic devices…:

The Lakes Community High School Pom Squad was washing vehicles a short distance away:

Back at the Candlewood Suites hotel that evening, I had a blast giving various hotel guests rides around the nearby corporate park:
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10286.JPG

Tomorrow I ride onward north, west, south, carrying a teeny bit of extra weight, as BRP gave participants mc-sized souvenir plates. I’ll mount mine on the garage wall at home:

Day 4 (14 – 20) and northwest into Wisconsin and Minnesota, then south to Iowa. (Route is not exact.):

Tonight I'll be tenting in Wapsipinicon State Park. Dedicated in 1923, Wapsipinicon was one of Iowa's first state parks. It lies just south of Anamosa on the Wapsipinicon River (locally referred to as the Wapsi). The sandstone and limestone bluffs in the 394-acre park are covered with moss and columbine.

The National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa opens at 9:00 tomorrow morning…

+Day 5 (17 – 21) eventually had me aiming southbound to another Chester, but first, a stop at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, IA, to discuss donation of my World’s Highest Mileage Victory. (Route is not exact.):

Tonight I’m camping in Randolph County State Recreation Area (21), an Illinois state park on 1101 acre in Randolph County, Chester, Illinois.

On Day 6 (21 - 27), I needed to adjust my routing a bit because of the potential of inclement weather caused by Hurricane Alex, so I dropped Chester, Missouri and Chester, Arkansas from the itinerary due to their locations in the western parts of their respective states and continued south.

Covered Bridge over the Little St. Mary’s River, off Route 150 Chester, Illinois:

POINTS
(#2h +50) Chester, Tennessee (24). I've combined images of the Chester County border and West Chester Elementary School:
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10297.JPG

Unfortunately, just north of Tupelo, Mississippi (enroute to Chester, Mississippi another 2 hours south) the weather began to be impacted by the northern bands of Alex, so I cut my losses and aimed for the Natchez Trace Parkway, taking it from there northeast to Nashville. North of Nashville, I grabbed a Red Roof Inn room for a comfy evening, and went across the street to do some laundry.

Here's day 6's general direction. (Route is not exact.):

Tonight I’m camping in Forked Run State Park, Reedsville, Ohio. Forested hills, a picturesque lake and the lazy Ohio River characterize 791-acre Forked Run State Park. Located in the heart of Appalachia, colorful history, riverboats, scenic vistas and abundant wildlife give the park its rural charm.

Day 8 (33 – 42) had me on a long haul for home, hoping to avoid a Friday on the highways of a Fourth of July weekend, with a few more points gains along the way… (Route is not exact.):
