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.

Read about this today. The article I saw had a couple different pictures. One showed the pickup in flames on the shoulder of the wrong side of the road. There were skid marks going across the road from right to left with motorcycles wrecked in the road amid those skids. Looks like the pickup, for whatever reason, crossed the double yellow line and plowed through the group of bikes. Very sad..... Jim

My thanks to whoever changed the title; would have changed it myself after some thought but was on ride.

pps: I missed the day's earlier events... :banghead:I'm pretty sure the p/u truck driver drifted onto the shoulder and over-corrected trying to get back onto asphalt. Exacerbated by the fact he was towing a huge trailer.
This was a group of active and retired US Marines. They face unimaginable threats overseas only to meet their fate on a bucolic country road in the US.
Semper Fi buddies.

Just a horrible accident, we all think we'll have time to make that evasive maneouver and then something like this occurs and there are just no options in that devastating moment, RIP.
This lady rider at the link had the split second to lay her bike down and roll out of the way.

pps: I REALLY hate to say this, and thought about it for a couple of days, before opening my mouth...This is what happens when a "Group Ride" doesn't leave enough space between the bikes... :banghead:
You don't have to be sniffing the tailpipe of the guy in front of you... nojoke
Sorry...

I guess I have to disagree with this. This is what happens when a person is driving a vehicle, not paying attention and quite possibly (very good possibility based on most recent news reports) under the influence of drugs and alcohol, weaving into the oncoming traffic lane. He happened to hit motorcycles but could have just as easily hit cars, bicyclist's, people walking on the side of the road. This is no fault of the riders in my opinion.

Would you rather be right: or alive? :dontknow:
Leaving a safe distance between you, and the rider of front of you: gives you room for emergency maneuvers… nojoke
For them to get taken out like that: they were racked-up like bowling pins in an alley...
Please don't misunderstand... I'd much rather be wrong about this: but I know that I'm not.
