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.
Insurance Company Recommendations?

I am in CA, so I doubt that my insurance guy could help you...but here is somethings I learned:
the computers are set up to input brand names and the Can Am Spyder has not been added to most software listings. Also, 3 wheeled vehicles got a bad name 20 yrs ago when people were building them in their back yards. ....so Progressive, Allstate, AAA are saying NO in most states. State Farm and Foremost are your best choice. However, work with several brokers to get the best deal!!!!
We called up Foremost (my husband's Harley is insured through them) and they told us $3,000 per yr for the Spyder. We found a broker that deals strickly with bikes, snowmobiles, jet skiis, dirt bikes, etc. and he was able to insure Bob's 2006 HD and my Spyder for less than $900 per year...through Foremost.
At least for the first 6 months, until other companies can catch up...look up the Biker insurance website, try Fischer or anyone....but get that bike on the road! :congrats:
Best of luck!!

I am a serious insurance shopper. I hate paying more than I need to for coverage I hope to never use. There are a multitude of factors - some common, some personal - that will impact your rates.
Seriously you should try Fischer. I do not know what they will quote for you, but for me, with excellent coverage they beat ALL of the companies listed above and more.

Progressive gave me a quote for the Spyder without any trouble, we have 3 other bikes with them. I also got online with Geico and they had the Spyder in their drop down model selection - more expensive, but I get a multi-bike discount with Progressive.
When I picked up the Spyder on Friday, they gave me a very competitive quote from Foremost. I'm going to check with them for all the bikes before deciding.

Normally, a trailered vehicle is covered only by it's own insurance, while the trailer itself is covered under the tow vehicle's policy, unless it has a separate insurance policy. Much like having a vehicle in a garage. Garage blows down, house insurance covers the garage, but the vehicles inside are covered only by the vehicle policies.bjt said:
