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.

Abbot, that's very ambitious for your first Iron Butt more power to you :bowdown:. We my wife and I did our first Iron Butt last year coming home from Spyderfest.
We did 1056 in 17 hours from Springfield Mo to Castle Rock Co we averaged 62 mph by the end of the night I could no longer twist the throttle. Stay hydrated
and remember you don't get much time to recover... Wishing you a safe trip :yes:nojoke jtpollock.
