• 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.

    A couple of Spring Projects

    Spent the afternoon working on the Spyder RT. Took the mirrors off and disassembled them. Wrapped the lower black plastic trim on the front of the mirror under the blinker in 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber. The scariest part was taking the mirrors apart. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and read...

    Prayers for Lamonster and His Wife

    Word has been received VIA FaceBook directly from Lamont that he and his wife have been involved in a deer verse cycle accident. Lamont has relayed that the bike is totaled and his wife has suffered "road rash bad". If you're the praying type, now would be a good time to put it into practice.

    For those of us going to SpyderFest for the first time tell us about the food. Are there food vendors at Duck Stadium? Do the group rydes end up somewhere for lunch? Do we just stop somewhere alone the way while doing the Passport routes? I won't possibly be able to keep my weight up if I...
