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.

Well - It sounds like there is interest in creating a sticky or even a sub-forum. Are there moderators on here that could potentially take ownership of starting something, possibly with some thought from others on the format?
I could see it in one of two ways but I'm sure there are others that would have better ideas. They key being something that we can all learn from, newcomers can learn from and it's in a positive way.
1. General Safe Riding - Either a sticky thread that someone has the ability to update or an actual sub-forum.
2. General Safe Riding & Safety Accessories/Mod's - Same as above however the Safety Accessories/Mod's I feel would be better served as a sub-forum for all to post things they see, mod's they've done specifically for safety etc. I realize we have the Spyder Mod's but I feel like there is value in Safety Accessories/Mod's on it's own. I know I find myself specifically looking for those type of things on here.
I'm the new guy so please forgive me if I'm stepping on any toes, I really just wanted to bring more value to all as I think this is such a great site.

Not sure on Spyders but when I put a sidecar on my bike people stopped trying to kill me. Bigger more visible.

I think stupid, distracted, and unaware drivers will be killing and injuring us even if we are in a cage. Oh--- I forgot all the folks that are in a hurry to get somewhere. Situational awareness really helps. Spyders have really good brakes, as all too many of us knownojoke.

If the posts on this forum are any indication, I'd say the injury rate per mile traveled is way lower than 2-wheelers and the fatality rate is virtually zero, if you exclude the mishaps that are unavoidable, such as a direct hit from a cager. The Spyder is stable and is highly unlikely to throw you off, even when running off-road.
My opinion about this is not the prevailing opinion on this forum.

An interesting re-read. The OP here goes back to 2015. :bowdown:

Yes, and we even got a reminder of Bob Denman.
When I last had a 2 wheeler I bought an Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 vest. Some good illustrations of this and other airbag vests on YouTube. Very thankful I had it on last summer on a trip when a deer darted out near Pagosa Springs, CO. He jumped just before frontal impact and took off my right mirror and bent throttle grip. Was so glad to be wearing the vest although not needed then as there was no real impact nor me leaving the bike.
After many years in EMS you just have to have your head on a swivel, using mirrors, leaving an exit point, thinking ahead at all times. I find it actually fun to have all my senses tuned up, maybe a reason we all ride on 2 or 3 wheels. And yes, most any of the motorcycling rider books are good as the safety aspects apply to 3 wheelers in most cases as well, cages for that matter.
