• 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.

Knights Inn Durango second thoughts, may want to read

DO NOT bring a hand gun into Canada!!!

Firstly this is what can happen if your caught (quote from web) "The police will throw the book at you. As for the sentencing, it depends on the charges and the judge. I believe the current government wanted to make it a mandatory 3 year sentence for illegally carrying a gun."
Secondly we dont want hand guns in Canada.

I have survived on the "mean" streets of Canada for 43 years with out a gun, I am sure you can survive a few weeks.

I might be the only one in Durango not "packing":yikes:
 
also dont bring in pepper spray it is also illegal, as well as tasars.I own handguns but will be leaving them at home when we come to durango
 
Changed to the ramada--- which is walking distance from Durango Brewing. :-).

Handguns on road trip? To each his own--- but if someone wants my money and spyder that bad---- they can have it. I have an open-wallet policy if someone pulls a gun on me ;-)----Never had to use it. :/)

After being made aware of negative reviews by another Spyder ryder, I called the Durango Police Dept to inquire about the safety of the area around 2391 Main Street in Durango. The officer told me to avoid area between 1500 block and 3200 block of Main street as it was not the safest area to leave our bikes. Just a heads up to everyone who booked a room here. May want to reconsider. I am going to cancel my room. Any other riders with motel ideas please advice. The reviews stated that the staff were great but the rooms were outdated and with the police input I am not willing to take the chance with my Spyder. Also the event is going to be held at the fairgrounds in the same area of town FYI.

OK, I cancelled my reservation at Knights Inn and got a reservation at The Adobe Inn. Jeez,:( at 2178 Main Ave. I see that the Adobe Inn is in the stretch to be avoided. Oh, well, I'll stick it out as I don't want to change it again.

With a crime rate of 62 per one thousand residents, Durango has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 16. Within Colorado, more than 92% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Durango.
Importantly, when you compare Durango to other communities of similar population, then Durango crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Durango does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Durango does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Durango.
For Durango, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included forcible rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in Durango is one in 145.
In addition, NeighborhoodScout found that a lot of the crime that takes place in Durango is property crime. Property crimes that are tracked for this analysis are burglary, larceny over fifty dollars, motor vehicle theft, and arson. In Durango, your chance of becoming a victim of a property crime is one in 18, which is a rate of 55 per one thousand population.
Importantly, we found that Durango has one of the highest rates of motor vehicle theft in the nation according to our analysis of FBI crime data. This is compared to communities of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest. In fact, your chance of getting your car stolen if you live in Durango is one in 322.
 
Well HOT DIGGIDY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just what we need a REEEELY good chance of getting nailed by the local mob!!! BRP didn't check into this particular problem. I guess that's understandable who the heck checks about crime when you are going for fun with people WHO DON'T DO THAT KIND OF THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sheeese am now wondering if I want to go and camp. I carry and probably should bring the Shotgun!!!

"Put on yer boots tighten yer belt pull that hat down..Gonna be a few wild night's in Durango",
Someone commented about security a few threads back. I'm sure for a small fee per each ryder we can get security. Specially if you make them aware, "They are accountable" Besides, it wouldn't be the 1st time I took turns on watch.:doorag:. Knock'm down:p ,then ask if they lost something in the crowd of Spyders"..
 
High crime rate and armed Texans in the same place makes for an interesting get together. Maybe tootall i s right and we should circle the Spyders

Isn't the phrase "armed Texans" redundant? I don't think I know any unarmed ones:).

Geese. Little paranoia out here I see. Many of us end up hanging in the motel parking lots till the wee hours talking and drinking anyway--- so we can keep an eye on things. 😉

I'm not worried in the least.
