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.

Unfortunately, it seems to be a (motorcycle) industry wide trend. Fred Rau in a recent article in Motorcycle Consumer News, was lamenting the fact that rallies have gotten smaller with fewer vendors and fewer attendees. His observation is that of a vendor himself, attending several major rallies per year. He claims that due to dwindling attendance, the vendors no longer see the financial incentive, and without them, eventually the promoters no longer have an incentive to make the large investment in time and money.
