• 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 drank the kool-aid

Yep, another Spyder newb here. I've been lurking here and lusting after an arachnid for around 3 years and last Wed a shiny new 2015 RT Limited made a maiden voyage from it's crate to my driveway (got a very good deal considering SoFla and couldn't pass it up). Hopefully now instead of drooling all over my keyboard I can participate intelligently. I've already learned alot over the past few years reading, now its time to start applying. I'm a brand new rider in my 50's, never rode a bike before (except 2 wheels in class a few years ago to get my endorsement) so I get to learn it all on a Spyder instead of unlearning 2 wheels. It's a little scary going out and earning my wings in crazy South Florida where driving a car is dangerous, let alone a bike but I just have to be careful and whatever will be will be - YOLO. Took some convincing to get wife on board (she would NEVER let me get 2 wheels here) and now she can't wait to go out.

Already have a list of farkles (first thing ordered was the FOBO TPMS) but it will center around safety for now (LED's, etc) until I get comfy. Just wanted to say hey and hopefully you'll see me around - probably asking alot of questions from the vets here. I trust alot of what is said here even though dealer warned me to stay off the forums, lol. Here's to an awesome 2016...
