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.

What in the world does exhaust have to do with safety?! :dontknow:
I know they have a sound ordinance in Lake George so I assume they will be monitoring the decibel levels at the stop! I hope the Micron, Remus, etc. will pass?!
If I was going, I would most certainly try to route myself around that unconstitutional, illegal, unfair and just plain stupid stop!!
Good luck everyone.

That would be my thoughts. Let us know how it works out! It will be a good test for future activities like this - and the way things are going in our country (Deals Gap and Shady Valley in NC and challenges to motorcycles using HOV lanes in other states, etc., etc.) I'm sure there will be additional restrictions aimed specificlaly at motorcycles and motorcyclists!!

We are supposed to have a constitutional right to travel unfettered.
The government needs to stop protecting us from ourselves!

What's the point of a check if they let people get off before checking them. I have been stopped many times by police when they were holding seat belt checks for cars. They never gave me a chance to opt out of those checks. Actually, I got several tickets from those checks. But I really don't know anything about motorcycle checks, since I never owned one before!

Yep. It's really pathetic. Actually, it's like legalized theft in my opinion. Pulling people over that are driving perfectly fine, and giving them a ticket because they don't have a belt wrapped around them. :edit: I have paid more money out because of this, that it really get's under my skin. Now, whenever I see a cop, I quickly slap part of the starp over my left shoulder so it LOOKS like I have it on!

Before I get in my car, I buckle the seatbelt to turn the chime thing off and then just sit on top of it. ;D

Thanks for the Heads up Lamonster!
I'll be there AND on my best behaviour. I guess it is better to be safe and come back to tell y'all about the adventures in the Adirondacks. It is amazing how many motorcyclists do not have a motorcycle licence. IMO you should have to be tested to have the priviledge of riding.

While I always wear my seatbelt in the car.... and helmet when on the bike(well.. I did do some backroads the other day without the helmet just to feel what it was like)..... I don't believe it should be the law for ADULTS.
I do it because it is safer and makes sense. I don't need the government being my safety net all the time!
Kids are a different story... because they are..well...... not adults.... and might have morons for parents.
Once you are 18 you should be able to make these choices.
Your insurance company can and should also charge you up the nose if you are one that doesn't wear a helmet or a seatbelt.
You always hear that motorcycle accidents cost so much money... and this would be much worse if they stop wearing helmets... because people will get injured worse, etc...
I disagree with this. If someone gets into an accident WITH a helmet on they have a better chance of living... but they could still end up on life support or paralized the rest of their life.
If they are not wearing a helmet.... chances are they won't have big medical bills..... just big funeral bills.

:agree: I wear a helmet also when I ride but I am glad that in my state (which is going the Nanny state way) - we should have the choice, not be mandated. I'm not a fan of seatbelts - I am very short and they choke me.

I think personal safety should be a personal choice! However I ALWAYS wear a helmet on anything with a motor outside of a car or lawn mower.
I just think if we allow the Gov. to tell us what is good for us and what is not about this, I fear someday they'll be telling us what to eat because it could hurt us too. Or how about lock people up who don't use condoms, or no more motor sports because we could get hurt doing them as well. Where will it stop? Where will that line of involvement in our personal lives by the Gov stop? In 1960 people would have thought you nuts if you said someday the Gov will make you wear a seat belt in your car, or wear a helmet on a bike. Yet here these, and a long list of other "save us from ourselves" laws are today.
I fully agree that kids need to be protected from stupid parents and their own youth 100%! I also understand that when it comes to adults there will always be some morons out there who might get hurt as well. But, for those adults that is just natures way of thinning the herd. Stupid animals, being them sheep, deer or even humans don't usually make it very long in nature, and for many good reasons. You can't regulate stupid! It just won't work without it slowly becoming a police state for the rest of us "normal" folks too.
So, wear your helmet because it will save you, and you're not stupid about the chance of your head not splitting open if it hits the curb at 30 mph. Wear it because you have things to live for and want to increase your chance of being here to do them. But, not because "Big Brother" knows what is good for you. Do it because you know what is good for you!. But, if you're one of those "Supermen" out there who don't need a helmet because you can live through a 30 mph head impact, good luck with that too! It is your personal choice, choose wisely.

Well that's a good question. In Colorado, when DUI checks are done, you have to do put up a notice allowing drivers to leave the highway before they get to the checkpoint. It was a Supreme Court ruling that said all drivers have to be allowed a way out, just like we have to post that photo radar is being run and we have to give drivers a way out before they speed right past the cameras. This was a federal ruling and I see no reason why it would not apply to any checkpoint, but I am not an attorney...
