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.

welcome Enjoy your test ride. I am confident you will end up with us. :thumbup:
Joey, I had both knees replaced with metal ones last August and I bought a SE5 over the winter. I am 5'8 in height, 29" inseam. I experience some pain if I ride with my feet in the standard position on the pegs, but it goes away if I place my heels on the pegs and point my toes slightly outward. I am currently checking the after market offerings in running boards or highway pegs. I believe this problem can be easily overcome and I love my Spyder.

Welcome, Joey! Be sure and take that test ride...or even a couple. The Spyder can be either good or bad on the knees. My wife had a badly broken leg, and found the Spyder didn't bother her bad knee at all, except for the need to stretch her legs occasionally due to the arthritis and staying in one position too long. She hasn't tried it yet to see the effect on her new total knee replacement.
I have had work on both knees. The Spyder is very comfortable for one of them, far better than my bikes. The other one aches when I ride the Spyder, due to how far my legs are spread on this wide machine. I have found if I change the position in which I hold my legs, this pain goes away, but riding in that posture is still a bit unnatural for me, so I often forget. It is not a deal breaker, but is certainly noticeable on a long run (multiple tanks of gas). You really need to judge this one for yourself, in person, before you decide for certain. All our injuries are slightly different.

Welcome to SpyderLovers Joey. I, like the posts that I quoted, have knee problems. I found that the Spyder riding position was very comfortable for me and with some type of highway peg / alternate leg position, I can ride for many, many hours straight with no problem.
