• 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.

I've been rained on several times on bikes, cars, trucks, planes, horses and other modes of transportation. Yesterday was the exception. Got caught in a tremendous downpour. I don't care what rain gear I had on, I got soaked. Felt like I had an unexpected enema! But the spyder did very well in handling and for the most part, stayed dry. Must admit had a little dampness in the trunk, enough to get few papers wet. But folks, I don't know how anything could've stayed dry in that storm. I will examine the gasket. Be safe.....
 
Glad to hear you got home safe:thumbup:. It is amazing to feel how good they handle in the rain. I find the seal on my frunk is not as tight and that it will slide loose if I am not paying attention. From what I have heard the seal is designed to work with a frunk liner. Again it is only what I have heard and I have no experience. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the subject.

Just sayin'...........
 
SCUBA

March of 2013, i almost had to stop and buy SCUBA equipment on a ride in Florida it rained so hard, and DANG it was cold to boot.......
but my frunk never saw a drop of it...
:clap:
 
Most of today's rain gear will not repel standing water. If you get a puddle in your seat or have folds in your gear that catch and retain water, you'll eventually get wet.
 
Wet..!!

been there. Some of the gear will work great for a while but eventually gives in. Glad you made it safe but then you were on a spyder. This one does well on water too...DSC_4920 (1).jpg...:roflblack:
 
A couple of years ago I went on a big trip with a girlfriend and we caught the remnants of a hurricane. Every time we stopped we were followed by someone with a mop or a "Caution Wet Floor" sign. :roflblack: I don't remember all of the sunny days on the trip but I do remember that wet one.
 
God's garden hose

Last week end we were on a club ryde when we saw the on coming weather and started to head home. Shortly we got soaked. It was if GOD had a garden hose and was trying to wash away out sins. Our 2014 was so great I just kept going and was able to make it home. We were soaked but thank goodness the SPYDER was great!!!!!!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
