• 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.

Florida to Missouri by way of Oklahoma? you probably zig when you should zag. :dontknow::dontknow::dontknow:, i am the worst person to plan a trip but even i would not go that route. :roflblack::roflblack:

Unless that is a planned scenic route.

The beauty of that kind of trip is you aren't limited to the same route in each direction. If you take a route through Birmingham and on to Memphis, take some time in Memphis. Visit the Mississippi museum on Mud Island, and get some BBQ (I always preferred Gridley's to the Rendezvous, wet vs. dry rub). I lived there many years ago, so I am no expert on current attractions, but it's a great town to visit.
 
If you come through Birmingham

be SURE to spend a day at the Barber Motorsports Motorcycle Museum.... Best motorcycle museum in the WORLD.... one day is just barely enough.... The Honda Indy car races are also around that time of year.... if you can spare the weekend it is worth experiencing.
 
Stop by ISCI in Montgomery for some farkles, the Barber museum is cool. Watch out for tornadoes in OK and AL too, it will be that time of year.
 
Take the turnpike north to I-75 n,from Ocala go north on I-75 to I-10 west to tallahassee then go north on 27 to Bainbridge,Ga head west on 84 to Dothen Al, then head north on 231 to Montgomery. From Montgomery head NW to Columbus,MS then go North on 45 to Tupelo,MS from take hwy 78 to Menphis,TN take I-240 west to I-55 North cross over into Arkansas stay on I 55 north to exit # 10 hwy 64 W Searcy,AR then head west on Hwy 36 W to Rose Bud,AR then go w on Hwy 124 tell you get to Hwy 65 take north to Springfield, MO. then you there.
 
If at all possible you should at least consider going through Arkansas. Some very nice scenery through that area. And while it was four lanes, 65 from Arkansas up to Springfield was very pretty. A good resource for roads to ride is motorcycleroads.com. And if you are at all interested in guns, the big Bass Pro shop in Springfield houses the NRA Sporting Arms museum.
 
Eureka Springs

My vote would be to include a day in Eureka Springs AR. Great little artsy town built on the side of a big hill. Great riding in that area and not far at all from Springfield. Have your walking shoes on and have $ ready for the parking meters! They are SERIOUS about their parking meters:)
