• 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.

When I lived in the Atlanta area, there were lots of "Floridiots" (as I called the Florida drivers) who would move to Atlanta and call it "moving north for the summer!"
 
Gotta say...

You nailed the places I have been on the head...New York, Florida, Colorado, California, Arizona the only one missing for me would be Texas...:thumbup:
 
No one retires up nawth!:shocked::riding:
Welllllll, I did. Actually it was coming back home, more or less, at least to the same state! I left Louisiana where I worried that I would wear out the thermostat switching it back and forth from heat to cool during March, and came back to where winter is winter and summer is summer and the two don't get mixed up together!! :roflblack:
 
OK here you go Sunland springs Mesa az A 55 Plus community with tons of activities and club rooms for most hobbies.
You can buy used or new homes , condo, or small chalet. my house has a golf cart size third garage door for your spyder. not a tandem. Its in the foot hills of mountains and great rides all around you in many directions. Best part they do not own the 3 golf courses, so the HOA is like $50.00 a month. plus there are other spyder owners living there.

I moved from the tax and regulate you to death state of CT to south west VA. The taxes are about 1/3rd of CT, gas is $1.99 a gal and I live 3-1/2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, need I say more. :yes:
 
I would not move to Kalifornia even if someone paid me to move.... i'll stay in Louisiana... where winters are so mild you can wear T-shirts just about all winter... best fishing in the world ... prettiest women & best food.. and folks here are friendly....but. it does get a tad hot in summer...

Might have something to do with the food too :)

All true for The City, oh sorry New York LOL. This is why I have moved to Thailand, maybe a bit far to get away.
 
After two trips out to Spyderfest I'm becoming fond of the Southwest Missouri/Northeast Arkansas area.

:agree: Good ryding area, reasonable people, moderate weather.

However my plan A is an RV so I can live anywhere I want and migrate with the good weather.
 
I moved to FL. Yep, hot in summer so I ride a lot in the morning. Live in a 55+ area in Deland that is a great location to get to plenty of good restaurants where there's hardly ever a wait and only a 1/2 hour from the beach. THE REALLY GOOD THING IS NO STATE INCOME TAX!!!!
