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.
Has your Spyder hurt your two-wheel riding skills?

I was a bit concerned about that myself when I headed for a motorcycle vacation in the Swiss Alps in September. It had been about a year since I was on two wheels.
As we rolled off on the rented bikes, I was surprised that within about 50 feet my brain took over and said, "oh, two wheels again." I was extra cautious for the first 50 miles or so and saw that the first few times I had to tell my right hand to brake --- but it quickly all became routine again.
I also noticed when I was back home, the first ride I kept reaching for the front brake on my RTS!
I would not hesitate to jump on two wheels again... actually planning another "fly and ride" vacation for 2017 that we will rent two-wheels.

I ride my 2 wheelers as often as I can--- Think I'll sell one of them though, but I like them both. The Valkyrie is easy to ride, lots of torque. The V-Max is fast, much lighter( but still heavy by todays standards) Has the look and the reputation.
So I don't have any trouble switching from two to 3 wheels and back.

I have a yamaha sport bike along with my spyder and i have zero issues going back and forth. I am mostly a weekend warrior but usually will get on one or the other every weekend, except the one or two when its too cold 
When i got my first spyder i did try and reach for that non existent hand brake a few times but that didnt last long. now i go between them with no issue.
