• 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.

Have you experienced any Road rage incidents?

Hell some people just don’t like bikers.
As a young guy, I'd occasionally commute into Boston on a bicycle, in rush hour (Motocross mentality was helpful - while, of course, being aware of the difference in "bargaining power" between me and everyone else around me.) One day, someone made a point of trying to squeeze me into the concrete barrier separating the roadway from the sidewalk, but I was able to brake quickly and hike the bike up and over the barrier, where I could just ignore the guy because, yeah, not engaging is definitely the best policy.

On a motorcycle, I did have kids in a pickup truck pass me at the last second on a narrow country road, down hill, just before a 1-lane bridge, nearly forcing me into a concrete bridge abutment. (Concrete again!) The bed and the cab of the truck were packed with kids, laughing their heads off. So you couldn't call it road "rage," but...

Again, executing a "reverse pass" and disengaging seemed the way to go. :whistle:
 
Several years ago, on a group ride, a cager refused to let us proceed. When the lead rider tried to turn left, he blocked the lane, Same when lead tried to turn right. We couldn't go straight because the road didn't exist anymore. After we yelled and honked for a while, he left.
I think he just didn't like women riders. Or women. Or maybe he didn't like himself.
