• 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.

    Rant about prescription costs

    Mortailiy rates There's another possible reason for the high infant mortality rate in the USA. The numbers reported refer only to live births and do not include any stillbirths. It's been suggested that medical personnel here often make heroic efforts to save any newborn and often succeed...

    What motorcycle shippers have you used?

    Federal Motorcycle Transport Last year I use Federal to move an old smallish bike from Connecticut to Texas. I chose them mainly because they gave a discount (10% I think) for AMA members. Had no problems and it arrived in a reasonable time.

    Flag and National Anthem protests

    A small correction. Sorry but I have to inject a technical correction. The Union Jack is the national flag of the UK. The royal standard is totally different. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Jack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Standard_of_the_United_Kingdom But yes, anti-monarchists...

    Anyone own both a Spyder and a Polaris Slingshot?

    Not quite a league but a Race of Champions all in Slingshots: https://www.youtube.com/embed/wOrn0sOIUn0?rel=0 Unfortunately, it's a marketing piece so it doesn't show much.

    How many of us are still riding two wheel motorcyles?

    Still riding the 2003 Triumph Bonneville, a bike I like because it's just a motorcycle. It's not a cruiser, not a sports bike, not an ADV bike, it's just a plain standard. And I've recently bought a 1970 BSA Starfire, 250cc.

    Spyder transport suggestions

    I'm trying Federal I've just booked to move a 2-wheeler from Connecticut to Texas using Federal ( http://www.federalcos.com/specialized-moving/motorcycle-shipping/ ) I tried UShip but only got 1 bid which was $400 more than federal's quote. I got a discount from Federal as a member of AMA so...

    Spyder Chasing the Milky Way

    Thank you! Absolutely incredible photos. And they make me realize what we're missing when we live in the middle of suburbia and cannot see much of anything in the night sky.

    Now I really wish that I could say that....

    Brings back memories Thanks OJ for bringing back childhood memories. Had several relatives in Folkestone and would visit periodically and sometimes stay there. I found another video on Youtube "Welcome to Folkestone" with pictures of the old Rotunda amusement area near the harbour. Still...

    accident looking for a place

    I think it's to show how many drivers sit in the left hand (fast) lane and never move over! Seriously, why do people do that? It's tradition in this country to drive on the right!

    Allstate?

    I got that same answer from my local agent a couple of years ago. I called their 800 number and got cover with no problem.

    No where to hide

    Not a single camera [QUO This picture was taken with a 70,000 x 30,000 pixel camera (2100 Mega Pixels.) These cameras are not sold to the public and are being installed in strategic locations. A camera like that would be nice and may indeed exist somewhere but it does say at the front of...

    A pictoral guide to British English....

    Me too. I remember the looks we got when my wife and I were browsing the meat counter in the supermarket and she asked me if we should get a joint for Sunday!

    YE OLDE MERRIE ENGLANDE!!

    Ding Dong - gone Another one bites the dust! Very sad! When I lived there in the 60's there were 5 pubs in the village, now there are just two. But at least those two are open all day. Remember how they used to close in the afternoon?

    YE OLDE MERRIE ENGLANDE!!

    Staplehurst Church Thanks for posting the photos - that's the church I was married in 42 years ago (almost to the day.) My wife and I both lived in Staplehurst at the time. Been back many times since then and the pubs are still as good as they used to be - at least the ones that are still open...

    Question for Spyder owners that ride a motorcycle....

    I bought a new Bonneville in 03 and like it as much today as I did then. I especially like the fact it's a general-purpose bike. It's not a sports-bike, sport-tourer, cruiser, adventure tourer or anything special at all. It will just do pretty much what I want a bike to do without any fuss.

    what was this guy thinking?

    What was this guy thinking? Probably "Oh, s***" But assuming the lights were green for the two-wheeler, he''s got some good evidence to have the SUV driver charged with failing to yield or more. And it should make his insurance claim a lot easier.

    In the shop

    That's why I'm glad I got an SE. It's so different to my two wheels I don't have any trouble switching from one to another. So far! Better add that just in case I've jinxed myself! And I did forget to put the kick stand down on the Triumph even before I got the Spyder :opps:. Only done it the...

    Can Anyone Advise on Which Dealers to Deal with or NOT Deal With near Dallas TX

    I had a good experience with Louis Powersports in Greenville. A friend says good things about Richardson Motor Sports. I see that there is now a new dealer in McKinney - Freedom Powersports. Listed as Certified, not Platinum.

    Why you need to pay attention especially in bad weather

    Why Why would anybody want to sit in the left hand lane, as close as possible to oncoming traffic especially in those conditions? I see that a lot on undivided roads near home and it always amazes me. I want to be as far away as possible from a potential head-on crash at a combined 120mph. I...
