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, they always say to eliminate a phobia you have to be around it all the time!

Lamonster, I'm curious, what's your total hours (to determine average MPH across 40k miles)

On Spyder#1 I averaged 83 miles per day. If I include the miles on my Harley during the same period, the average is 119 miles per day.
On Spyder#2 I am averaging 172 miles per day. I got Spyder#2 on May 15th. Tomorrow it will be three months. My odometer is at 15,726. This is an unusually high rate for me. It will probably continue through September, but then it should go down.
On a caledar year basis, I rode 42,000 miles in 20008, 47,000 miles in 2007, and 48,000 miles in 2006. I am trying to reduce my total miles in order to make my carbon foot print smaller. I have not been too successful in this.

Dang, where do you do all this riding? :shocked: The miles you travel in one year is two or three years of riding and driving for me.

My 2008 SE5: 3512 miles, 210 days, 109.8 hours =
32 miles per hour average (Lamonster = 51.7)
and 16.7 miles per day average (Lamonster = 70).
Lamonster, are you retired? Where do you find the time?

That's the key, he's out riding and I'm in the house typing.
Until I got the Spyder and to some degree after getting it, I'm not one who just likes to ride around for leisure. Almost all of my riding is with a specific destination in mind. Unfortunately, (or fortunately in these days) most of the time the destination is work.

I have been unemployed for more than 15 years. This means I can do anything I want - more or less. I love cross-country riding and I love to cruise in ranch country where the cows far outnumber the people. Believe it or not, there is ranch country in Florida.
Riding in the country by myself is like meditation. I feel at one with my motorcycle, and at one with nature. It is similar to mindfulness practice. I can get totally in the present moment for at least a short time. This is very satisfying.
I try to get out in the country for 4 to 6 hours, or so, at least 5 days a week. I also try to do as much long distance riding as I can.
