We are staying up in Cherokee, not far from Maggie. Good ride up the mountain just 15 miles or so. You can Google the motels there and maybe find something.

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.

Sorry to read that your afraid to use the Spyder. I very seldom leave the house on less than an hours ride and do so every chance I get. It is very easy to get paranoid when reading about issues on a forum. That is one of the benifits of a good forum, knowing what issues some folks are having, but just as important, knowing that everything is relative. First there have been some common issues with some spyders, I am not trying to downplay that. Many of these were taken care of by recall or other warrantys. Most of the 11,000 members on this forum, such as myself, have put many thousands of enjoyable miles on the machines without a problem. My wife and I spent 17 days on a cross country trip and had the best time of our lives and would do it again in a heartbeat. (we covered almost 5,000 miles, just me, my wife, the Spyder and 622 trailer). If I had let the forum issues scare me we wouldn't have taken the trip. I just kept it in perspective in that there could be 50 complaints or even a 100 (with many posted by the same people) and 10,000 others without a complaint rolling up thousands upon thousands of miles. I have two wheelers as well as the Spyder, I've ridden most of my life (over 40 years) and the Spyder wins hands down for the Safety features it provides.
I hope you have a good trip to Maggie and gain more trust in the Spyder. Looks like Thursday may be wet so have your rain gear handy :2thumbs:
Friday and Saturday is looking good.
