• 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.

How many "Dukes of Hazard" landings does it take to customize that part? :roflblack:

Doc,
You haven't let Forrest borrow your spyder to practice for the "Ditch Jumping Contest" at LaMonster's BBQ this year? I hear they are going to award prizes. :roflblack::roflblack:
 
It was me, I confess! I made at least 10 passes at full throtle in Chicago loving the turbo every second. The bike couldn't take the 300 lbs. of southern pure beef.
 
Doc keeps telling me to take the Silver Dream for a ride, but when I ask for the Keys, He can't find them,.:roflblack: :roflblack:

Don't worry Doc, the replacement part Elka is sending you should take care of this problem. This one has a special designation. It has a DOC part number! :yikes:
