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.

I don't see any Argument here, if some one does not want to use a helmet that just shows
how much he values his head... off hand, I'd say not much....
I have ridden for well over 58years and have had a get off or 2 and the helmet saved my head
every time....

For me, its ATGATT. I don't want to be in a position where I really "need" the helmet and its not there for me.
Those that do not want to use a helmet--it is their personal choice.

I (according to people on this specific forum) don't have common sense.
I wear shorts when its hot and I'm riding.
I'm the only guy on a motorcycle (if you call this thing such) that wears bright clothing.
I mean no black...the only color in a motorcycle clothing store. really???
Can't stand black clothing, nor do i wear it.
I wear shorts.
I wear sneakers.
I'm the oddball rider you wave to then say "what the heck?".
Maybe I don't have much sense thinking....I am very aware of everything when I drive....when I ride...I feel everything.
I smell everything. I feel every crack in the road. I'm aware of every moment. I enjoy every moment of my ride.
Very few people know what i'm speaking of. They wish they knew. They say one day I will learn. One day I will slide or die on the pavement.
Perhaps. But i am super aware whether I'm driving a muscle car at 160mph or cruising on the Spyder, I pay attention every minute, every corner, every crack in the road.
Not being bold, not being obnoxious, just some things in life we do at full bore and driving/riding is my thing....ask my wife, ask my kid...
I'll die behind the wheel...as well as I've lived behind the wheel.
Now I do wear my helmet. I do wear a helmet in my car doing 150 plus MPH (most times)...but if in a state where helmets arent required, I don't have a problem losing it at normal highway speeds (55-65mph).

I am in complete agreement with Snoopy. Driving and riding is an experience. It is not just a way to get from point A to point B, insulated from everything that is going on around you. I wear shorts, flip flops, and tank tops while riding, and if something happens to me, well, I have had a good ride on this world. I wear a helmet because I have to. But I want to, as Snoopy says, feel and smell everything out there. Just cuz you are breathing, don't mean you are living.

In my opinion; safety gear doesn't get in the way of the experience. Even a full-face helmet allows you to smell what's going on around you.
And the wind rushing past the ears of an un-helmeted rider obscures most of the sounds anyway.
