• 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.

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    My wife(now deceased) jokingly referred to all of my current and past motorcycles as "The Black Bitch", as in her view I was gone driving them too much. She couldn't ride do to spine/hip injuries. As a fan for years of The Green Hornet, I'm partial to calling my beastie: The Black Beauty
