• 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.

    87 Octane fuel

    Worry more about the E10 or E15 ( Don't Run E15) I found some pumps marked E15 on a trip to Kentucky. I'm told Higher Octane does not have as much alcohol in it. Don't know if it is true. Just ride. Spend all your money and live. Can't take it with you.
