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.

Agreed.Good to hear that you had a great ride but the blisters are more likely from gripping the grips much toooo tightly. Take the time to learn to relax your grip and open and close your hands every few minutes to prevent cramping and blisters.
I also added the foam grip covers from SlingMods. The cushion and larger diameter helped a lot on longer rides.

Just as an aside, I had to ride 300kms from my dealer to home with both my new ‘16 F3 and my new ‘21 RT, with the only possible route being on a freeway. Sure, I varied the speed as much as I could, but that wasn’t much. I had zero issues with motor or transmission in the following years.
I am not suggesting anyone run their Spyder in this way, it was simply that it was unavoidable for me. This is more to let new riders know that it is unlikely you will have issues if you are forced to ride home on the freeway

If you don't mind, here's some funny stuff: Yesterday was my wife’s very first ride ever (!) First, she said I should have bought this bike years ago, "instead of just swapping them every few years" 
She asked me to take her to a store for some quick shopping, and in the parking lot, she asked me if I had an alarm for "this expensive machine." I told her it’s pretty pricey, and guess what? She said, "No, no, for such an expensive machine, you have to install an alarm!" Guys, looks like I’m going to be taking advantage of buying accessories! And she loved the ride so much that I’m seriously starting to wonder if I made a mistake hyping this bike to her. Looks like I might be losing my freedom!
