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.
Can Am should make something like this

Both look great. Both my back and pocketbook would be hurting if I were to go for either one though.

Corporate types never ask the question, "Wouldn't it be cool if we made this?". That is why 12 year olds should be designing motorcycles, they aren't afraid to dream..

But they're ALSO not afraid to go bankrupt, and squander all of their investors' money... :yikes:

While it might be fun if Harley decided to build and market the Penster; this one is available now...

No, no, no, no, NO!!!!!!! You're tempting the heavy hand of the bureaucratic safety ninnies.
Spyder riders enjoy a grey area of automotive safety regulation because the Spyder has three wheels. That's generally accepted as an extension of sidecar rigs and Harley-like trike conversions.
But to the automotive safety bureaucrat, four wheels = car, and all the safety considerations must come into play: rollover safety, airbags, crumple zones, etc. That's why the BMW GG Quad mentioned above initially met resistance over here. See also the BMW Just42.
Vehicles like the Polaris Slingshot are blurring the distinction -- that's why it had some trouble with some states allowing sales. With Spyders, sidecar rigs, and trikes, the rider sits astride the machine and steers via handlebars, so that's kinda motorcycle-like. But you sit in the Slingshot and steer via a steering wheel -- more like a car. I already read about one legislator saying during the Slingshot dustup that "these three-wheelers are a growing category; we need to regulate them!"
We currently have it just where we want it. Let's not invite trouble. We may not like what happens if we get caught in the regulatory frag pattern.
[Edit -- Pleae note that I'm talking about street vehicles. Four-wheeled off-road toys don't count as cars.]
