• 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.

Two toy runs...

In one day. 'Tis the season. Bruisersbaby and I did two toy runs today, First one was sponsored by a local HOG chapter. It was about sixty miles round trip. Had around 250 bikes at last count. What makes this so special is that it was BBs first extra large group ride on her Spyder. And she did an excellent job. About 10 minutes after we arrived at the destination of that run, we left for a quick lunch and headed out to the next one. It was sponsored by the Ghost Riders MC. It started out at one of the local watering holes and GR meeting place, and ended at a church about 30 minutes away. We only had 25 or so bikes in that one. Most of which were members of our riding club. At that destination we had our choice of a BBQ chicken or BBQ pork dinner with all the fixins'. If you live in NC, you know that this is also the season for church bazaars and dinners, so you know how good they can be.

There's at least three more toy runs we're committed to between now and Christmas. One of which usually has between 600-800 bikes. And probably at least three more we'll look at part participating in.

Oh yeah, there was another Spyder in the first run today. A white 2013 RT. We didn't get the chance to meet the driver. And speaking of Spyders, we also had the chance to see an old friend and Kris' former boss whom we haven't seen in years. Found out he was in a bad wreck on his original Heritage Soft tail two years ago. A driver pulled out in front of him. Broke his back, ribs and dislocated a shoulder. By the way, his nickname is Spyder. He's had this nickname for many, many years. A wonderful man and friend. I'll post some pics of his bike as soon as I can download them.

Busy busy..!!

congrats on the first run for BB..good luck on all the upcoming events as well...great cause..!! :2thumbs:
 
I was used to toy runs being the way you describe yours today but out here they call it a toy run but they are poker runs instead. I guess large group rides are a little too tough to pull off in a place like Las Vegas.
