• 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.

Contact us when you get to Anchorage. Maybe we can meet with you. Contact me through PM. You are planning a very good trip--especially the Alcan Highway part. We are going down to Skagway from Eagle River (Anchorage area) in early July--will be at Tok & Whitehorse also. :2thumbs: If you have any questions about the Alcan or Alaska travel, contact me by PM--we will do our best to answer.

Hey BMW, how is the trip going ? Would love to hook up in Calgary ( 3 hours from me ) and then do the jasper run and go from there. Any idea on an actual date ? All this is possible if I get my ride back after accident and warranty nonsense again. Let me know Thanks.:2thumbs:

By the way, when you come through Tok, if you end up staying here look up Cleft of the Rock Bed & Breakfast on google and stay at one of the cabins. You'll love it. I'm here right now until the 17th of July. My Spyder is in Emmett Idaho and I haven't been able to ride it for over a year now being stuck here in Tok with the Coast Guard at the Loran Station. You'll see the 4 700' towers about 7 miles outside of Tok when you're coming from Canada...kind of hard to miss. But while you are here check out Mukluk Land.
