• 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.

    This can be typical of our country roads, especially early morning and late evening.

    Thankyou again. I'm flying into Springfield. It looks close to the hotel on the map, mind you maps and I aren't always a good match. Cheers Mike

    Spyderfest Temps?

    Hi Guys I'm coming from Australia for your Spyderfest event. I've been reading up with interest on the weather over there for early May. Reading some of the posts, it could be a mixed bag. Do I take a chance on warm weather? If not, there goes my luggage allowance. Cheers Mike H

    Bush guard on a Spyder

    Bob...that's pretty much spot on. Hitting either at speed on a Spyder would end badly. If for some miraculous reason I had a choice of what I could hit, maybe I'd go the wombat. The roo or the deer may take your head off. Gives me the willies thinking about it. Cheers Mike

    Bush guard on a Spyder

    Wombats are like a big fat rabbit with no ears and walks instead of hops, they can weigh as much as 40 kilos. They dig up through the floor and steal groceries. They've been known to attack humans in their sleep, they are worst than drop bears.

    Bush guard on a Spyder

    With my serious face on for a moment. Kangaroos here are a real danger on our country roads at dawn and dusk. Where do we ride mostly...on our nice country roads. There are literally millions of the buggers. Wombats can be an issue, but rarely. Cheers Mike

    In the few hours my post has been on the site, I have had offers of accommodation and bikes to ride. That is very kind of you all, it's much appreciated.
