• 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.

    I can't get over it~~

    Thank you, Mick! I'm so glad you made it through that, and are still rolling! I did ride another 2-wheeler for 2 or 3 hours after the accident (with help), but I have no desire to get on another 2-wheeler. Even though I will take it slow, I am anxious and excited about getting a Spyder which...

    The latter never happened in my class, and I actually only remember a couple of normal shut down drills-- if I could even call it that. Now, I'm even more frustrated. Sigh~~ :shocked:

    I can't get over it~~

    What an odd thing for you to say. Ya know... the truth! Sheesh. I hadn't even thought about that. That button/switch was discussed regarding starting the bike, but that's it. Nothing about after the bike is started or in motion. But honestly, I went from sitting still to full airborne in a...

    I can't get over it~~

    I COMPLETELY agree! I'm always aware (sometimes I think too much). I even explain to my daughter how drivers have to be aware of everything around them. She has even commented on my ability to avoid accidents (she witnessed this). LOL! I don't want to ride another 2-wheeler, but I...

    Complete truth about the current crazy holiday driving. Oh, I wish I could grab a Spyder right now. Doing what you said sounds soooooo goooood!

    I can't get over it~~

    Thanks for sharing, and I'm sorry to hear about your father. Even in my Suburban, I'm always thinking about how crazy people drive. As big as my truck is, people still pull out in front of me, run lights, and do other stupid maneuvers. I couldn't imagine dealing with that on 2 wheels. I think...

    I can't get over it~~

    Thank you all! I am so glad I got back on (a different bike) after the wreck. I knew I had to do it. I'm upset about not being able to finish the course, though. I tried, but my insides were shaking so bad I couldn't. I wasn't nervous. Something I couldn't control was happening inside (which...

    I can't get over it~~

    Thanks, jScotD! Wow, that sounds like a horrible accident, but I'm glad you made it through it! The obstacles and challenges really tell us who we really are, don't they? You are right... my body did start letting me down at an early age. I still have a lot of pain issues, but I don't let...

    I can't get over it~~

    Thanks, Leslie! Our situations are similar even though it's horse vs horsepower. Either way, it's still being tossed and it's still scary. I fell off a horse years ago because the person in front of me (on the same horse) dropped the reigns. Very scary, but I got back on. I don't know why...

    I can't get over it~~

    Yep, I definitely need to get around bikes again. Luckily, I have a few friends who have bikes, so it won't be a problem. The nearest Spyder dealership is in another city, so I'll go by there the next time I'm in the area. I really want to see the 2013s, so that will be a cool trip. I think...

    I can't get over it~~

    This is what happened Hi Chris-- I wasn't on a Spyder. (Did my post sound like I was?) I was on a 2-wheeler at a motorcycle safety course (irony). I had been having a problem holding in the clutch for both days, and I told the instructor this. She did not know how to adjust the clutch...

    I can't get over it~~

    I really need to get this off my chest... The weekend of Sept 8th and 9th, I was taking a MSF class. I was so proud of myself! I'm now (as of this month) 47, and this was my first time riding (driving) a bike ever. If you're interested, you can read about the story behind all of this here...

    Parking in public...

    Unbelievable!!! (My personality is about to come out!) I was reading this thread last night, and I have to say I was completely disgusted! People really :cus: me off! Some people are just rude and inconsiderate, and have zero respect for other people or their property. And sometimes, parents...

    Got a general maintenance/trouble question

    Thank you all! Thank you all so much! Your comments are very helpful! I also appreciate the specifics you've given. It really helps me put everything into perspective. I have to say that I'm so excited about getting a Spyder that I sometimes feel like I'm gonna jump right out of my skin.

    Need help setting up Elkas shocks, Apparently Cowtown is now just shipping boxes

    Wow! I would just like to say that I think it is awesome that reps showed up in this thread to offer help, as well as phone numbers and PMs. That says a lot, and it gives me something to think about WHEN I do get my :ani29:. Glad you got help, DMENTR! :clap:

    Got a general maintenance/trouble question

    Hello everyone! I have a question for you. First, a little background. I'm new here, and this is only my 2nd original post (1st one was an introduction). I don't have an awesome :ani29: yet, but I'm taking the MSF course in September :ohyea: when it will hopefully be a little cooler, and I...
