• 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.

Be Careful Out There

With the season winding down for a lot of us, just a reminder to still be careful when riding.

I was out on a ride today and encountered a very large moose. It just came running out of the tree line and crossed the road about 30 feet in front of me.

I was able to react and slow the :spyder2: down from the 52 mph I was cruising at and narrowly missed broadsiding the moose.

I drive this twisty road often (Old Glenn Highway) and have only seen moose on this particular stretch of road three times now in 14 years.

Moose and :ani29: avoided a chance meeting and both arrived home safely.

No problem..!!

will watch for crazy californians cause moose we don't have around here. Good advise though cause those critters will be more active as the cold sets in...:lecturef_smilie:
 
No moose, but had a pair of lovely well-fed deer run alongside me yesterday while out riding my Ninja on the GW Parkway (not to mention the golden retriever ambling straight down the middle of Route 50 out near Middleburg on Tuesday :shocked:).

I've been trying to get the last of my two-wheeler time in before the weather gets too cold and I switch to my Spyder full time (wait-- people put up their Spyder for the winter? :roflblack:), but this unfortunately is the time of year I just dread. Not that I ever want to plow through a quadruped on my Spyder, but if given a choice, I'd much rather be on three wheels than two if that were to ever happen!

So, yeah: stay frosty & safe riding, everyone!
 
D,
I hate to say this; a Spyder is too light for Moose Hunting... :shocked:
You need a lifted 4wd pickup (3/4 ton or better), with some serious iron added to the front of it.
I had a Guide in Maine tell me that you don't actually hit a Moose...

...You hit their knees. This rolls them up onto the hood of your vehicle, and the come through the windshield and kill you! :yikes:

This guy was big enough that his belly would have taken my head off. :yikes:

Fair point Bob. Thankfully, no moose in these here parts. :thumbup:
 
I used to have lots of fun riding the other end by Rabbit Creek when the old seward hwy was the seward hwy... and that was on a Honda 50 super sport!

Trucks alway lose to a moose...
