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'm 100% Legal!

Thanks for all the well wishes guys...
I continue to be surprised at how much response there is for sharing something as small as this test, and how warm the response is from this group. You guys are all right, that's for sure.
For those who asked if I, or my wife and I, will be heading to SpyderFest or other distance destinations this year, it's too early for me to tell. I'd really like to but it all comes down to how my back gets used to riding and how long a ride it will put up with at a stretch. In the early 1990's I had a rather severe lower back injury which also caused severe left leg nerve damage. There has been surgery and a lot of history since that time. You might say that these things heavily flavor what I do and don't do and it goes through phases of change from time to time. I'm told that the work load typically shifts up the spine to compensate for the injury and this can cause accelerated wear of the disks and vertebrae in the area immediately above and there have some signs that this may be happening.
Because it does not need to be balanced, the Spyder makes riding possible again for me and that's fantastic! How long the ride it is, is a bit of an ongoing story that I'll have to update from time to time. The hour each way to Bellingham for the skills test is the most riding I've been able to do so far and it did put me out of commission for the following day and a half with a lot of pain and leg trouble. I hope my back gets more and more used to the riding position as time goes on and the rides get longer and longer.
Thanks again to all of you for your support and I hope to meet more of you as this gets better and better!
