Came home yesterday from the 3-wheel basic rider course (3WBRC) up in Palatine; 20 hours over 4 days. First day is classroom, remainder is in the parking lot except for 1 hour at the end for the 25 question written exam. Harper College has 5 Rykers, 1 F3, and 1RT available; I chose a Ryker, which not only was much more simple in operation but also proved to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Nine initial students, three of whom dropped while riding...if I had any complaint about the course, it would be that not enough emphasis was given to the performance of these machines versus what folks may be used to. I believe that my 188 illicit RT miles represented the highest operating time in the class, although I don't recall any serious experience assessment. Most of the students were even older than me. Inadvertent throttle blips and subsequent loss of control accounted for losses. I would highly recommend the course for any newbies residing in Illinois, for twenty bucks you get a good deal of saddle time, a chance to ride different models, and a course completion certificate (mailed, 2-4 weeks) that you can take to the DMV for your new license...and mayhap an insurance adjustment.

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.
