• 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.

    Spyders to the Rescue

    Thanks for cleaning up the data. Since I have several trips planned this year I just wanted an updated list of the data. I downloaded the xls sheet just before you converted it (I'm guessing). I did this because some of the area I will be traveling do not have reliable cell coverage. I'm...

    Cell Phone

    I have an iPhone and can't wait to upgrade to the latest Galaxy. The iPhone is still behind the Galaxy S3 and now the S4 is out. It really depends on what features you think you "need" besides making calls. Google iPhone vs Galaxy S4 and you should see many technical comparisons. IMHO

    Boots?

    Take a look at Bates boots. The ones I have are waterproof (GorTex lined). Under $100 and made to be worn all day long. Very popular with LEO's and the military.

    Whats more accurate.... Google Maps or Mapquest to Maggie Valley ????

    Another thing to consider is that the time on all the map programs are calculated for cages not Spyders. We stop for gas a lot more than they do. Add to the stop the gawkers and questions and you lose a lot of time.

    COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

    Like others, I have the Sena 10's and use them for: Intercom w/passenger Bike to bike Garmi Zumo for GPS and iPhone for phone and music. Easy to use and easy to update the software.
