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.

Lean 3X harder into the turn than any conventional bike. Even then, the Spider is a lot more work to ride aggressively than a conventional two wheeler. Just don't tell my wife, she thinks it is easy!

As I see it...
It's a matter of time and miles. Rule of thumb...for those that have no or little ryding experiance it will take 300 to 500 miles to get the confidence and comfort to start pushing the twisties. It is also your comfort zone so take your time relax and enjoy the ryde and it will all become easy to you...:thumbup:

:welcome: and :congrats:
Like they said above:
:ani29:: Don't overcontrol. A light grip on the handlebars. Do not break the eggs between your hand and the grip.
:ani29:: Push/pull motion on the handlebars. To little is better than to much.
:ani29:: Plant the outside foot on the footpeg. Lean slightly into the turn. This dissipates the g forces.
:ani29:: Enter a curve at a speed that does not require applying the brake. You should be able to accelerate slightly during the turn.
Practice will make perfect. The learning curve for most is 300 - 500 miles.

I've found using your legs to press against the body of the bike to counter the centrifugal force works best around corners.
