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.

Yes. I used to come to Marcus Dairy when I lived in New Jersey.
The dairy portion was closed for years.
They finally closed the diner a few years back, and now there's a Whole Foods as the anchor store in a strip mall.
Whole Foods ??
From a biker hangout to a Die Yuppie Scum hangout.
That's progress ?
Marcus Dairy, Danbury, Connecticut, April 16, 1989
The big V-twin coughs, grunts like an old bear on a cold morning, kicks over and idles down to a steady rump, rump, rump as it warms up. There’s no place on earth colder than a still-dark Sunday morning in a New England spring. But a hot cup of coffee gets the juices flowing and the highway’s welcome provides the warmth the weather lacks. The day clears as you wind down Route 7, and so does your mind as the Vulcan and the rhythm of the road do their work. You sweep down from the overpass, give the throttle a healthy blip and shut ‘er down. The smell of frying bacon says, “come on in” and you join the crowd.
Because that’s what this is all about. The ride and the bike and the crowd. Cold mornings, hot iron and warm conversation. The stories of what you rode and where. Veterans with 15 years of Sunday mornings at the Dairy. And an interesting breed of newer riders, some of whom are even more interesting than others. You rode in alone. But nobody says you have to ride out that way. Kawasaki. Let the Good Times Roll

The last time that I was at the Dairy, was in May of 1989...
When I got home; I found out that my Gramma Denman had passed away that day... :shocked:
But its' time for some new memories. It might be too late for this year; what about in the Springtime?

Never made it down there to the dairy but I did find Toy Makers Cafe and Big W's BBQ. Toy Makers has a great breakfast and Big W's has some of the best BBQ I've ever had.:bbq:

Yup, good memories of going there as well. Thanks for the info on Panera, I will keep it in mind for some of our Sunday Rides.
Going out tomorrow but not so early to make it a day trip there.

Memories....
Guess nothing lasts for ever plays out here. I love ya'lls past, having grown up in a foriegn land, maybe cause we saw it all in the movies. But never miss the chance to ride those bits of Route 66 I finds when travelling about. We have one of the largest bodies of water in the continental US made by man attempt to tame the colorado river that was once a mega playground for the in crowd. Now a ghostly area but facinating....but there are always new places...:yes::yes:
