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.

It's a slow trip, with the traction control, but it sure beats road rash!

I have not found my lowest temp yet. Today was a 200 mile ride, most was 40-55 , but we hit a fog bank that dropped the temp ALOT - you could see your breath (prob. dropped to low 30s) - still no problem with what I was wearing. I have Cortech stuff and don't feel the cold at all at these temps. I plan on rideing all year if the roads are safe - biggest prob. here would be black ice in some of the canyons - still feel alot safer on my spyder than my motorcycle - esp. in these conditions.
Ride on!
Ride on!

Cold weather riding
I needed to take my Spyder to the Dealer for some work last year. Temp was in the 20's. I thought the day looked pretty good so I decided to take the back roads for the 150mi one way trip. Well I got to the lowlands of Western PA and the temp dropped to 0 deg and there was frost all over the trees. I had a heated vest and the heated grips but, at 0 deg they didn't help much. When I got to the Dealer I was shivering and shaking and could not stop. The salesman suggested that I needed a good winter coat, one that they use for snowmobiling and he sold it to me right then and there for about $220. The ride home was much better. I still wear that coat, to this day, if the temp gets below 40 and I will probably be wearing it to Spyderfest.

Minnesota--1966--first bike--January---(10 below zero). Probably would not do that now. Lowest so far on Spyder--20 degrees above zero. Did not go out when colder--because there was ice and snow on the road--I wont ride on that if I can avoid it. I am guessing there are some real brave ones out there that can beat this easy.

Brave,no....just a case of cabin fever! I went out for a 60 mile return this "Spring" at 4 below zero F. The Bike performed well and all my gear was heated,no problems.:thumbup:
