• 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.

    MAGGIE VALLEY 2017

    Roads ridden I have been down there many times. Some of the best roads are not the ones ridden by most people. You need to get on some of the side roads, that are every bit as good if not better than the Dragon, and have less traffic. Cherohala Skyway is a great ride.

    How to CB

    CB The jack you are talking about, is for communications to a headset. You may or may not have a CB, but you do have communications with another headset for a passenger. It also will give you FM AM and XM if you have that. You can also stream music from a digital device such as Ipod or MP3...

    Helmet Style

    Helmet Modular during the day, open face at night. Don't like changing the dark shield on my modular. If I get caught with it at night, I open the shield and wear glasses.

    Amazing what owning a Spyder will get you to do.

    Washing What do you mean you can't take it through the automatic car wash? If you do, you save having to take a shower that night. Simple plan!
