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 ??

Don't see too many of those anymore. I saw one last year heading in the opposite direction at a campsite, and it didn't sound like a motorcycle, much more like a car, but I guess that is what they were shooting for.

Down to one 2 wheeler besides the Spyder. A 2009 BMW R1200RT. I find riding 2 wheels is still more fun than 3, but I keep the RT for my wife so that she will ride on the back. Some day I may not be able to keep going on 2 wheels, so hopefully 3 will be enough.
What is that big ugly thing on the side of your front fork..... if that is some sort of an inspection sticker cant you put it some place else ???? like maybe on the inside of your side bag lid

Thats where they put it, prob better than somewhere on the tupperware. On the Spyder, they put it on the bottom of one of the passenger floorboards, so when they are down you never see it.

hehehe, probably more than most folks would want to see. Here are a just few; the first is from a trip to shoot bluebonnets in central Texas in April of 2005, just a week after I completed a winter's worth of custom work on it (same one from the collage). I bought it in Oct. 2004 with 12760 miles on it. Just rolled past 134K last week. It's my favorite ride and a great machine.

Still have a 2014 Kawasaki Nomad 1700 I'm trying to sell. Just didn't feel comfortable on 2 wheels any longer. Not sure why it's not selling as it's got extras, is the final year of the Nomad (with a 1 year old paint scheme) and is $3k under KBB. Oh, well. I don't ride it much.

Gosh, sometimes I wish I still had my Honda XR200.
That thing was fun to ride and bulletproof reliable.

No just 2 Spyder
I had an 86 Venture Royal.. loved it but the plastic was a problem. I had fixed all the lil nuances...shimmed the valves , h2o pump, 4 brush starter, rebuilt the 4 carbs, brakes and all the brake and clutch cylinders ,clutch slave cylinder , re did the air suspension circuit board, it was a great learning experience and rode like a dream. Tons of storage. Really an innovative bike for 86.

I've owned the Spyder for 2 months. In the past 2 months the rideable Harley has Not Been ridden. It's a Hard decision for the basically New 2018 StreetGlide to just sit. My Harley insurance is 2.5x more than the Spyder insurance. I need to get the HD out and put a few miles on it to decide If I should Sell It. I have a 1957 Panhead (original Suicide Clutch and Jockey Shift), this motorcycle will never be SOLD. It belonged to a "Brother" who was killed in 1978. If something happens to my Son the '57 will go back to Pruitt's Family. And last but not least I have a '71 Sportster that's 95% original. All Harley's I don't ride are Kick-Start bikes. My knees won't stand the pain of cranking any of them.
I owned a 2015 honda ctx700dctabs Naked that was set up for light touring. I loved that bike it got way better gas mileage than honda claimed. It got backed into with me opn it by a teenager on her cell phone. Her ins.totaled the bike and she who must be obeyed ruled that if I wanted to keep riding I had to get a 3 wheeler, She feels safer with me riding a three wheeler. So I own just a spyder.
I actually want one of those. What kind of mileage did you get. Was it easy to ride? The DCT sounds so appealing to me.
