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.
Do you still have a regular motorcycle along with your Spyder ??

I still have my 1996 Yamaha Virago 750 with 29k on the clock. Determined to hit 30k this year!
Since becoming an MSF coach last year, I ride it about once a month solo to help keep my skills fresh.
Also, Janis has yet to get the nerve to take the Spyder for a solo ryde, but if we're are doing a local ride and I don't feel like being on pillion, she pilots the STS and follows me...last week we did a 60 mile loop. I'm waiting for the day I walk out to the garage and Blackbird is AWOL

These are my two I have now that are not under rebuild / restoration. Not taking anything away from riding a road bike, but trials is a crazy amount of focus, even when you are not good at it like me...
Sold the 2003 KTM, and the 1971 Rickman Yamaha and 1981 KTM 495mc are not finished yet.

I still have a 1987 anniversary edition Yamaha Venture Royale and a 1971 Montesa Texas Scrambler. Neither are ridable. The Venture will run and the Montesa is awaiting the finishing of the shop for it's restoration. It sold this bike new back inthe day when I had my own shop. Two wheels is not really an option for me any more,so the Venture just sits,I have no idea what I'll do with it.
My 2012 Ness Vision has 76k+ miles on it. My wife rides a '19 Spyder RT so I bought my '15 Spyder F3S to put some miles on something else. I'm a hooligan rider and I've said that my Spyder is my no brainer ride. Riding my Vision I'm more alert, more on my toes, etc. Love them both for very different reasons/different riding styles.

In my twenty year time in Alaska, I lived in Eagle River for ten years, and then five miles up the road in Chugiak. Both towns are considered suburbs of Anchorage. One twenty miles out and the other twenty-five miles out. I have always preferred the "country" to the city.
And currently, I am also out in the country. :yes:

I had a 1500 Nomad. Real sorry that I traded off that one.

I mostly ride the Spyder ST but I have a 1991 Harley Sturgis that I ride occasionally to keep it going. The Sturgis is my keeper, as it's also a collectible limited edition. There are pictures of both in my Garage posting.
But the ST will be going on a ride without me soon when my new 19 Asphalt Gray Chrome RT Limited arrives from iMotorsports. Woohoo!

Divested ourselves of most of the stable in the past 2 years. We had 1990 Electraglide Sport (aka FLHS), a 2007 Trike Shop (now RoadSmith) Road Hawk VW based trike, a 2007 Goldwing 1800 with a Champion trike kit, a 2013 Triumph Bonneville and the 2018 Spyder RTL. The Road Hawk was the first to go, then I sold the Harley, as it was 28 years old, hard to find parts locally and the 2 HD shops nearby didn't seem to know how to work on a carb bike that you didn't plug in to find the trouble. We got the Spyder as Gloria never quite got the hang of using all 4 appendages at the same time on the Goldwing and she liked the Spyder when we test rode it at the Davis Rally in New Hampton, IA. The Gold Wing was sold at the end of last year, leaving us with the RTL and my Triumph Bonneville T100.

I got my RT-L when my health said I didn't have the balance to ride two wheels. I sold my Cross Country Tour as fast as I could because I didn't want it bringing up the memories. I love my RT-L but three wheels are just not the same as two.
