• 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.

    Juuuust missed hitting a Deer! Great brakes on these things!

    I had a buddy who was killed by a deer that came through his windshield. Only thing was, he didn't hit the deer. It bounced off a car that was coming the other direction, then he hit it while it was still airborne, coming through his windshield. I was going home from work at the end of second...

    Why would you want an asymmetrical rear tire?

    Pretty much what my local tire dealer told me when I had my rear tire replaced. I was going to go with a Cooper tire that had a asymmetric design and he explained why it was a poor choice for a rear tire. I don't know if he would have mounted it had I insisted. That's when I decided to go...

    Wow, even rural roads aren't safe...

    I would also like to know if the farmer was ticketed. Around here, I've seen some farmers (I'm not lumping all farmers together, but far too many are guilty) do stuff that would get a professional truck driver in enough trouble to lose his license permanently! Farmers are not the only ones...

    RIP Peter Fonda

    Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda are riding together again. I had a poster of Wyatt and Billy riding their bikes on my bedroom wall after the movie came out, when I was 14. It wasn't one of my parent's favorite things I had at the time, but they tolerated it. Along with the beginnings of my long...

    Juuuust missed hitting a Deer! Great brakes on these things!

    Deer are evil and have a plan to eliminate all vehicles, even at the risk of their own lives! They have formed a loose network of like minded deer all over most of the US to accomplish this goal! Because of that, we as drivers of vehicles, regardless of the number or configuration of wheels...

    Stater and HID lights

    :agree: And when you use a touch screen to navigate, you need to be aware of where you touch the screen......or you may like an old post. And you can't undo it!

    quatrac tires

    Yeah, I thought my Quatrac 5 tires were kind of soft and/or squishy for the first 10 miles of so. Then I became aware of how much better everything felt! The handling and the ride were so much better that I'm still in awe after 1500 miles with them on. I ride 60 miles each day to work plus...

    Rain Gear?

    NO! Don't waste good money on this for rain gear. Oh, it'll keep you dry.......until you end up drowning in your own sweat! These suits don't breath, even if they claim to be "vented" and they are not very durable. If they ARE durable, then they weigh a ton. And you would need a suitcase to...

    How safe?

    Life is fraught with danger. The ONLY guarantee is you WILL die in the end. Your choice is how much of a participant you want to be and what you choose to do to mitigate the risks you're willing to take. That said, when my wife and I ride, we wear all our gear. If we think it's going to be...

    Will 2010-13 front fenders fit newer models?

    2010-2012 had 14 inch wheels, 2013 and up have 15 inch wheels. So probably won't, but you never know.

    Fun weekend, but lots done

    Sounds like you got rather intimate with your Spyder! 3D puzzle is one of the best descriptions I've heard used to describe a Spyder!

    Anti Freeze Alternative?

    The color of coolant means nothing any more. There was a time when that was a good indicator of the type of coolant you had but that is no longer true.

    Using auto tires on any spyder

    As you can see from the load rating of the tires the Vredestein Quatrac 5 tires have about twice the load carrying capacity of the Kenda tires. That speaks volumes!
