• 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.

SOB Thieves!

Try to find stainless steel bells, and put them on with stainless steel zip ties, when I figured this out, I never lost any.

Traditionally bells to keep the road gremlins away are as far forward and low on a bike. In some areas I have been there may be a bell low and at the rear as a remembrance to fallen riding brothers and sisters. First bell I got was for my Sears & Roebuck minibike in 1965 when I was 10 years old. It came from a friends father, the first 1%er I knew. (Didn't quite get the ramifications of that at the time.) It lasted a few years with the minibike, then a Sears Allstate moped with both motor and bike pedels, and finally an Allstate 250 Twingle. (Grandpa worked at Sears) Lost the bell off the 250 when, I suppose, the leather thong rotted and broke. Now I use zip ties to attach the bell to our bikes. (Pic below) Wire, string, leather thongs and such will eventually give out and the bell will take a trip by itself.
