• 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.

    Is that thing safe!

    it saved my butt! Got to say that l I'm glad l have a spyder because two days ago, a deer came out of ditch and ran into my right front wheel. Lucky for me it only bent front fender brace and left blood on the side of bike. If l was on 2 wheels l would have went down! Dennis
