• 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.

    Picture I believe the critter Lamonte is holding is a Plestiodon skink. Looks like but not related to Blue Tailed Skink of Australia. Aren't you glad you asked?

    Fact or Fiction

    Fact some bikes had a shifter on the right side My neighbor has an old HD Sportser. The shift lever is on the right side. Seems they were popular with flat track racers so they located the shifter on the "up" side of the bike when it was making the left hand turns. nojoke
