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.
Spyders and bears! Oh, my!

:gaah:........and I thought that hitting a deer would be bad. Good thing that the bear didn't stick around to check them out!

Yep... Bear are WAAAaaayyy tougher than deer! :gaah:
I'm glad to hear that the riders were pretty much okay after thi one! That bear put it into overdrive and climbed the steepest mountain that it could find to put as much real estate between it and all of the commotion. It probably laid up in a swamp to cool off and let the bruises fade.
Tupper lake/Saranac Lake/Lake Placid is an area with some of the nicest scenery and roads in NYS! :thumbup:
"Spyders in the Adirondacks" will agree...

The title of this thread is a play on words of a famous movie quote. Can anyone name the movie and who said it?

don't mean to steal your thread - on July 13 on my way to Saranac Lake on rt. 3 outside of Tupper Lake we hade a bear cross in front of us. Nowhere close to an accident and we were in an SUV.
Point being bear populations seem to be growing and their territory is expanding in Central N.Y. Everybody going to Lake Placid for the meet-up be careful and have a good trip.
Glad they were not hurt any worse.

Motorcycles and critters just do not make a good combination. Glad everything turned out all right.

Met 'em
I just happened to meet Robert MacIntyre and Mary DeVries in Malone, NY right after they had their accident when I was at the Can Am dealer getting my 600 mile service on my 2011 RS-S. Guess what they were doing. They were trying to decide which RT model they were going to buy to replace their totaled Spyder. They were both banged up a bit but all they seemed to care about was whether to buy a white RT or a blue one (they bought the blue, Mary didn't care for white).
They told me that they thought the Spyder saved their lives. They said they probably would not have made it on a two wheeler. Even though they were thrown from the Spyder it apparently absorbed enough of the impact to make a difference. It was totaled in the wreak due to a bent frame but all they ended up with was some nasty bumps and bruises. Most cyclists who hit something as large as a bear would probably not be up and about buying a replacement bike a few days afterward.
They were very nice people. By now they have their new blue RT and are back in the saddle. A very happy ending to a near tragedy.
