• 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.

    Self driving autos in FL!

    Biggest hazzard in this part of FL is Tourist, who haven't a clue where they are going and anything can happen on any day, but especially on Fridays, when they come to the beach.

    Tim Conway - RIP

    Liked the one where he is playing the old man and falling down the stairs in slow motion. Both Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman were cracking up. Than there was Dorf on Golf, another Tim Conway Classic.

    Was unable to ride

    Last year, I was unable to ride because of wounds on my lower legs and every Tuesday I went to the Wound Center for treatment. It was a long slow process, but my condition finally cleared up. All that time I went out to fire up the Spyder to keep fresh gas in the engine and keep the engine parts...

    Smart (Dumb) phone users

    If their not getting run over, they are driving and running others over. I was heading home when a jeep pulled out of a grocery store. I was riding my Spyder and he was right next to me in the hammer lane, with a cellphone in his right ear. He didn't see me and was moving into my lane. In front...

    Lost my furry baby

    I'm so sorry for your loss. My best friend I got for a Christmas present in 2005 and is asleep on my new bed. I don't know what I would do, if something ever happened to him and I had to put him down. One thing I would insist on with the vet, is that I would be the last one he saw.

    Home invasion story

    I had an experience about 6 months ago at 3.30 am. I was watching a movie in the family room in the back. I had the front room lights on and heard a knock on the door. Looking at the clock, I knew this wasn't going to be good, since I wasn't expecting anyone after 3 in the morning. Walking into...

    Willow Run B-24s

    The long hanger at Willow Run, Michigan has a 90 degree turn in it so Henry Ford would not have to pay taxes in the next county. That short end is being saved and restored today as a museum. The big hanger doors are still operational after all these years. This is one of the best and most...

    Insurance - Anyone have any history with Markel?

    I had State Farm and it was $120.00 for 6 months and than went up for no reason. I left them and went to Geico and pay $171.00 a year. I hate those 6 month policies and will stay with Geico as long as they don't raise my rates on the Spyder

    She should have shut up!

    Would be interesting to see her in action in court. The video alone is enough evidence to find her guilty. Just imagine if she was a counsel woman, running a meeting. Would she allow this kind of behavior from a citizen? I doubt it and would tell that person to be seated or be removed from the...

    Do NOT use on motorcycles ! - ---

So now will have...

    FOLLOWUP TO "I'M FED UP"

    I feel for you and what your going through with this dealer and have heard of many having problems with dealers. I had a problem and found BRP very helpful in getting the problems resolved with the locking up of the steering many were having with the '08's and early '09 Spyders. I'm lucky...

    Newbie question: 2008 for starter spyder?

    I've had my '08 GS SM5 since March of 2009. It was used as a demo with 237 miles on it and I remember the day I just went to the dealership to look after checking them out online for about 6 months. Within 30 minutes I was signing the papers and thought I had done it again, just like the truck...

    Navy Vets

    We were supposed to cross, but never made it in one of the three West-Pac tours I made on the USS Epperson DD 719. I forget today what the reason was and it was either due to being called back to follow carriers or to the gun line. We also had port rudder and bearing problems in starboard shaft...

    A neat little tip

    Why you should always put a coin in the freezer before you leave home. Have you ever come home from vacation, business trip or maybe a weekend away with the family, and noticed your digital clocks flashing the wrong time? You quickly realize that you had a power outage while you were away, but...

    Boarding Planes In Israel

    This is what I call thinking outside the box. What a simple and brilliant idea. I particularly like the 'spare' seat announcement! It's hard to beat Israeli technology! TEL AVIV, Israel - The Israelis have developed an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that...
