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.

A couple of nights ago I took my flag down because of high gusty winds. Woke up this morning and looked at the date on my night-stand clock. First thing done today was to raise the flag. Never forget!- canamjhb

Had to wear Gloves for Can Am riding course - Do you wear gloves? Why? Or why not?
Always wore them when riding. Summertime rode with nose pickers. I liked unlined dear skins in colder weather. Dear skins are unbelievably warm even without linings. But then I had, and used, grip heaters. I always had a hard time with lined gloves due to their bulk. But, there were times...- canamjhb

Just had Cataract Surgery.
Congrats Mike. I totally relate to your experience. Had mine done 4 years ago. I was to the point of not being able to drive/ride at night. Oncoming headlights would blind me. Before the surgery I had cheater-reading glasses all around the house. After the surgery I sat down at my...- canamjhb

Coming home from a DDS appointment today I was traveling along a surface street here that has a 45 MPH speed limit. Very typical for my area. Going through an intersection with a solid green...- canamjhb

What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?
My MC days are behind me so I just watched the vid and read comments out of curiosity. One of the things learned about early on in my Spyder ownership was tires! (Thank you Mike and Peter). Comments about the Canyon having a bigger load capacity make me think the tires MIGHT be upgraded...- canamjhb
