• 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.

Considering Going From 2 to 3 Wheels

I have been on 2 wheels for almost 50 years and not ready to give it up. The wife is a different story. She has had 3 small 2 wheelers and she is short from the butt down so both feet down was a problem when she stopped. We got to test ride Spyders a few years ago and she was hooked. We were window shopping last October and the dealer gave us both a 2020 Spyder RT and RTL to go play on. She put money down on the RTL then arranged financing and picked it up on October 10th. She has become a little monster on it and her 4ever smile is worth it. I have a FJR and ZX14 so I am not giving them up BUT when hers is paid off I may step into a used 2020 plus. They are easy to ride and stop and turn and play plus comfy. I love to make fun of Spyders on the different boards but that is only because I kinda maybe almost like them. My only disdain for them is lack of power compared to what I ride. I know they are not made to run with 2 wheelers power wise yet they have more than ample power to land one in jail. I personally prefer the RT because no need for a trunk when there is a frunk.
The downfall is I worry constantly about her because what has become 2nd nature to me and a way of life she does not yet know. The good part is she has common sense where I may lack a little bit of.
 
Totally with you on the wife making me nervous, but for different reasons. When she was in her 20s (last year if you ask her) she rode sport bikes. We both like the technical side of riding. She is entirely unafraid of hitting that 80 to 85 % of what the bike has to deliver in regard to technical riding. Anyhow, behind her now.
