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.
Riding gloves question

If you are involved in an accident, additional protection.
A lot of times if you go down, your hands really get whipped hard into the ground. That's one of the reasons
for straps around the gauntlet part, to help keep the gloves on your hand. If your hand comes down on the
back, the hard plastic will help protect the knuckles which could otherwise be damaged. Also one of the reasons
to avoid half gloves, and gloves without some kind of retention strap.

If you fall off face forward, your palms are usually 1st to make contact with the road which is why good gloves have multi layers of leather in the palm.
If you go off sideways, expect your hip to be 1st and your hands to be whipped into the ground, very likely knuckles 1st.
Don't ask me how I know this
but my other handle is 'Deer Slayer'.

I guess none of you have ever had a bug or small rock hit your knuckles while going down the road. IT HURTS!

Flamewinger, I can confirm, it hurts even with gloves, ouch!
I added the OEM hand guards to my Ryker both for a bit of wind protection, and also to keep my hands safe from bugs and stones. After each trip the hand guards are just covered with bugs, so they sure save my gloves and hands from a lot of stuff!
