• 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.

How old are you?

To wax philosophical .....
To the "youngsters" here; take advantage of your strength and endurance, you won't always have it. I felt I was in the peak of my riding skills in my 60s and even into the 70s. And then Father Time was there telling me you are slowing.
To the "oldster" here; Enjoy every day and especially those days you ride. We are an exclusive club, many stopped riding even in their 60s. Many did not make it to your age and mine. I guess that's one of the reasons I enjoy riding aggressively, showing the world "I've made it this far and I don't really want to slow it down." But there will be a time that I will have to slow it down and maybe some of you are experiencing that.
Cheers
 
88 here, riding since 1998, began with the old Honda step through. Hope to continue with my 20 RTL for a few more years. Road trip to TN for next month, good times.
 
As Harrison Ford said in Raiders of the Lost Ark, "It's not the age, it's the mileage." My odometer has spun over several times but still moving forward albeit a little slower at 72.
 
You older folks are an inspiration. I hope I make it to 85! But, I doubt it - - - -

69 and have been riding motorcycles since I was 10 or 11. My first was a Lambretta 125 motor scooter (yeah, not officially a 'motorcycle,' but close enough).

Keep riding and be SAFE OUT THERE!!!

Turning 46 next week. I guess I am just a forward thinker. The rest of my two wheel friends will buy their Spyders in 15 years.
 
I'm trying to come to grips with my wife dying last month after 56 happy yrs together. I find it tends to take up all my time just surviving. I've had enough of doctors in the past 2 yrs to last a lifetime.
I will make every though to be more careful and see my physiotherapist. Thanks.

My sincere condolences. My bride and I celebrated our 57th just last week but she has a long list of maladies we have to cope with. God bless and be safe.
 
Turned the magic 75 last November. Have a few mobility issues, but am still able to drive the :spyder: safely. Where did all those years go? And so fast?

I know how you feel. My wife of 39 years passed in 2007 and I still think of the pain that caused. It never went away but life has gone on and new life experiences with kids grandkids and now great grandkids gets piled on. The joy of remembering the good times with her and the new good times with family have helped to dull the pain. It will always be there but not near so sharp.
 
Apparently I am still a youngster at 71. Been riding since about 15. Take care of yourself when you are young cus if you don't you will pay for it later. All stay safe and continue enjoy yourselves riding whatever it may be.
 
Made it to 70 this year, my bride and I celebrated 47 years this year. she has been my anchor all these years and I do not want to contemplate life without her. She loves to ride as much as I do and that makes me a lucky man.
