• 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.

Come Sail Away Come Sail Away With Me - Man am I stupid

Checked my fluids this weekend but for some reason did not get my Access Cover down tight on my F3. Jumped on the highway and the wind got under it and off it sailed into a 4 lane freeway.

$140.00 dollar mistake

Damn it Jim!!!
 
:shocked: If our lives came with erasers...



...They would STILL be as messy as ever!

At least you know why it happened, and it'll never happen again. :thumbup:
 
I only posted so that others can learn from my mistake. No matter how many times you have lifted those panels for any reason, always recheck them before you jump on the Spyder for any trip.
 
Finally got my part yesterday. Powersportswarehouse beat all other prices for my panel by $45.00. I am whole again!! :p:p
 
yep, pay attention to the front tabs

I did the same thing somewhere along the way to/from Deadwood, SD last year. We're flying along at 85mph somewhere in WY and I see the front end of the panel lifting up and kind of flapping. Luckily I noticed it and pulled over and got it tabbed in properly before it totally went flying. Sorry yours took a trip. I didn't realize that could even happen. Glad you're back in business and thanks for warning others.
