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.

I just looked at those and they looked nice,but a bit pricey. I think I will keep on paying storage. It's on $30/month and I have room to put other things in there also. The unit is only 6 blocks from my house.

I have had my bike barn for 3 years and I love it. My RT-S fits in it perfectly. I don't have a garage so it protects my Spyder very well.

Thanks Sunshinelady I think I am going to order one. I want to store my spyder for this winter using bike barn.
Storage is getting pricey and I cannot plug the battery tender in so out comes the battery
I do not have a garage either. In summer use BRP spyder full cover

I have had one for my Spyder for most of the summer. Love it for ease of storage of the
trike. Just be aware that the cover itself won't last too many years as the sun will damage
it over time. I know they sell a cover only(no frame) for this purpose down the road. Luckily
I have a family members garage for winter storage when I wrap it up as too cold to ride. Good
luck with the Bike Barn. Great product.

Thanks Thunor for your comments.
I have been researching on line and no negative comments about it.
I just ordered one tonight so will see how spyder survives the winter in Bike Barn. I also ordered the heater and the floor.
I plan on making a raised wooden shed floor to get the spyder up off of the driveway and to secure the bike barn down so that
it cannot blow away.

Glad you ordered before you heard from me, as I have no complaints about mine!
You *will* most likely need to order a new cover at some point though, which does make this even more expensive than advertised. My original cover lasted three years as well before the sun rot did it in. I've written the company urging them to figure out a better protectorant for the fabric as these *should* be lasting longer.
That said, it does the trick for my driveway, and it's as convenient as a garage.
One word of warning: you don't have to bolt it down, but definitely *weight* it down, with sandbags or tiedowns, etc. Wind can carry it away. For those who have to deal with snow, you also have to clear the snow off of it, the barn WILL collapse with a surprisingly little amount of snow on it, and then it's a real mess trying to put the thing back together in the middle of a snow drift (ask me how I know :banghead
