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.

Maybe my weatherman is more optimistic, but he says no rain! I would be interested in a "ride to eat" type of thing not too far from SE Michigan. Any ideas?

Larry, would it be worthwhile to ride to that BBQ place in Jackson just off Rt. 127? You and Cindy free? Randy, how about you and Bonnie? RHansen, how about you? Anybody else? When are y'all free to ride? Maybe we could make a trip to Hudson Leather (if anyone knows where they are) for those interested after lunch.

Dan...Are you talking about the BBQ Shack?..That was the place that my brother in law owned but he got transferred to Texas and it's been sold...What was the place that was suggested over by Battle Creek?...Think it was RHansen that posted that...not sure...I'm up for a ride anytime and will go where ever...I don't care about the destination, just the ride and seeing folks so it doesn't matter to me..

Larry, the #1 ranking from MLive was for West Texas Barbecue Co, Jackson. #7 in the rankings is called Hogzilla over in Battle Creek. Thoughts? I need to check with Geri to see if she's interested in riding or is going to spend the weekend getting ready for school. Randy - any thoughts?
As for me, I could be happy having lunch at the Wells. I love their salads. But I'm always up for something new.

Hi all,
It looks like Sat at the Wells for lunch could work. We can be there at 1PM and then we all can decide what to do after that. Thanks.

Watch the weather that far south. They expect the Isaac remnants to hit Indiana an Illinois pretty hard, and possibly get to SW Michigan. South of I-94 has the largest percentage of rain right now...40% both Sat and Sun, last I saw for Kalamazoo/Battle Creek. You'll be best off the farther North and East you stay.

This place was recommended by a co-worker. It's located near Irish Hills. Is anyone else familiar with it? This might make for a nice ride and meeting place. The menu looks good! A good selection of salads and sandwiches.

Randy, I've ridden there for lunch a number of times, and even went over for dinner one evening. It's very good, but this weekend, being a holiday weekend closing out the summer, my guess is that they will be jammed. They are directly across the street from Clark Lake, which is just a few miles west of Brooklyn. Nice place.
Sounds like we're going to meet at the Wells at 1 pm for lunch. Then for those interested, a ride to Hudson Leather will follow: http://hudsonleather.com/. You can get their address and directions from the link. But they will be jammed with bikers, as you'll see if you go to the link. First time Geri and I stumbled upon the place was a big poker run and they were jammed then, too. But a fun place to visit. Another possible stop is Hidden Lake Gardens in Tipton. Real pretty botanical gardens, located on Route 50 in Tipton, MI, with a small entrance fee.
We'll all want to keep an eye on the weather so we don't get caught in the remnants of Isaac! That reminds me - Geri will be really mad if it rains and I leave her raingear on the BMW GS!

Hudson Leather
Hi all,
I looked at the Hudson leather site - Hudson leather in Pioneer, Ohio - and they have a free lunch - hotdogs on the grill, lemonade on ice, lunch on them!! So I'm thinking to still meet at the Wells at 1 but then going to Hudson leather to eat. The flyer looks like it will be a good time. What do ya think!!!

Hi Rich (or do you go by Rick?),
We can discuss this at the Wells. My difficulty is that I really try to avoid hot dogs, much as I love them, and I also suspect Hudson Leather will be really jammed. But we can do whatever the majority likes and I'll just try not to be too hungry when we meet! LOL

Rich is fine. That sounds ok. I think we will be going back to Hudson leather Sunday to enter or Spyder in the bike contest.
