• 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.

    After the homecoming in Valcourt rode to Nova Scotia and on June 11th and 12th rode the Cabot Trail and then on June 23rd and 24th rode the Blue Ridge Parkway. The two best rides in North America. Best summer of riding. Would recommend to everyone you must ride each one at least once.
