• 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.

    UPDATE: Is my new machine just NOT made for those twisty-turnies?

    Well I've tried to incorporate everything you've all suggested on my practice ride last Sunday. 80 miles round trip - took it nice and slow and my husband followed behind acting as blocker on any cars coming up fast behind. I stayed a little above the speed limit, until I came to left hand...

    ST vs GS handling (help?)

    Actually I think your video is very informative. I'm a new Spyder Ryder and am having a hard time with the curves. (ST Limited) but watching your wife's body movements really helped me out a lot. Thank you so very much!:D

    Is my new machine just NOT made for those twisty-turnies?

    Yes you're right Bob, I needed that reminder - when I went from my Honda Shadow to my BMW I about had a stroke, I was so scared but now, after a year riding it I'm fine - so, I'll give it some time and enjoy one day realizing how comfortable I am - :bowdown: thank you so much!

    Is my new machine just NOT made for those twisty-turnies?

    :clap: You made my day and gave me a big smile. Now to show my newbie genes ... what do you mean by active body weighting and sticky tires and how do I improve the suspension? I do think The Angel is a perfect touring machine ... I did 2400+ miles on my BMW F650Gs in January and it was great...

    Is my new machine just NOT made for those twisty-turnies?

    LOL - Agreed! I've just decided that I'll have to choose my depending on the route, although I am hoping to at least get comfortable enough on The Angel that I can at least ease around those tight turns without freezing up and yelling (inside my head very loudly) PANIC

    Is my new machine just NOT made for those twisty-turnies?

    Advice So I think I'm just so used to my two wheels I'm having a hard time adjusting to three. I was leaning on the seat but I'm so new (less than two weeks but 1500 miles - yay) the road was off camber and I would just feeze up and let off the throttle. I can take 15 MPH turns doing 25 to...

    Is my new machine just NOT made for those twisty-turnies?

    Well, I learned what The Angel can and CANNOT do. I went riding up in our gorgeous mountains today and took a twisty-turny I ride regularly. OMGosh, what a work out ... I was so sore and tired when I got home last night I just collapsed. Of course it didn't help that the more tired I got the...
