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.

Not Me -- Hubby Does
Hubby had a serious motorcycle accident in January of 2012 -- his litany of injuries:
He got caught in a deluge of rain and the bike was upset by some bad pavement in a curve -- slid off the road and into a ditch, stopping in soft mud (instead of hard Texas clay) and just short of a barbed wire fence. Full riding gear, including helmet, saved his life (as did the soft mud). All the vertebral fractures were stable, so no paralysis -- does still feel numb on the outside two fingers of his left hand. The most serious of the injuries was the ankle -- just finished his eighth surgery on it this year (hopefully his last) -- there are four significant surgeries in the bunch; external fixation, internal fixation, bone graft a year and a half after the accident, ankle replacement a year after the bone graft.
He also has severe scoliosis prior to the accident and the damage to his spine did not help that at all. Can't tell from the outside but he is in constant pain ... except when he rides. I think the pain is still there, he is just so focused on the task at hand that he is able to ignore it.
Ride safe .... Ann

Society slowly changing
Because of an Autoimmune glitch I ended up in my late thirties-(1) going deaf (2) inner ear balance nerves gone (3) have Colitis. I hear now with Cochlear Implants and medications help control the Colitis and other little nuances..... BRP inventing these wonderful 3 wheel toys we covet allows me to ignore the balance issue and Ryde again . Here ( In Canada ) in the Construction industry we are now required to take accessibility training which basically informs everyone of the new laws gradually being phased in making all businesses and institutions more accessible for people with disabilities. The scope of disability isn't just for people with mobility issues but covers mental health , hearing , sight and other medical problems. Banks for example must provide a separate space to serve those who do not feel comfortable in a typical "Queue " setting ., More visual aids must be available for hearing impaired etc . Unfortunately although our worksites are supposed to be ran with the same measures in place as of yet not much has changed , hopefully it will catch up . The world would have missed out on a brilliant mind if we just pushed Stephen Hawking into a room and felt sorry for him.....
