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.

Just get a cover...an alarm is overkill...with a cover on, nobody is going to fiddle around with the bike...

I think this is a great idea and I have done exactly that.
Plus, once you have introduced yourself and your spyder to them, then you have a bunch of eyes keeping watch over your spyder, not just yours. nojoke Smart thinking Sarge. :thumbup:
When you see the kids:
Call then over and tell them about the Spyder and all the cool systems it has and give them a chance to sit on it.
I Bet the problems stop because you fullfilled their curiosity?nojoke

The dog looks a bit too friendly... You need some teeth showing and drool flying to make the proper impression as a Spyder-Guard! :roflblack:

This approach makes a lot of sense to me as well. Satisfy their curiosity, and let them know it is not a toy for them to play on at the same time. Then ask them to make sure other kids do not mess with it while you are not there. They will probably think you are one of the coolest adults they have ever met, and help lookout for your Spyder as well.

Isn't it nice when parents let their "progeny" run around and bother others because they haven't bothered to teach them any manners. Be careful with this one, in the not too distant past folks with any motorcycle could be "harboring an attractive nuisance" by just leaving their bikes outside (i.e. it's all your fault because you have something outdoors that a kid wants to play with...). I.e. if one of the little jackoffs falls off and breaks their leg, head, arm, whatever you could find yourself the subject of a suit by the parent because you left your bike outside (and just where inside a house or apartment would you put a spyder...I have no clue). Twisting your throttle like that cannot be good for the bike so now only do you get that crap you have damages to fix too. Certainly one of your neighbors has seen the animal(s) or has an idea which one(s) it is. hmm, I think I'd get something with prominent spikes pointed up to put on the seat and lock it down...lol...might get in trouble for that one too. Pretty sad when you have to armor up your ride to keep someone's badly trained monster off it and from breaking it. If you're local gendarme aren't jerks I'd see if you can make an "information" report every time you think someone's been on your bike...yes, pain in butt but if you have time to do it it may save you a future problem. I'm sure your neighbors either have seen them or know who they are....don't expect much assistance from the parents, if they don't teach their kids any respect they won't when you complain either. Pitbulls with aids do solve a lot of issues..... I'd get one of those motion activated alarms jc whitney has one that goes on the handle bar but I'm sure there are a lot better solutions out there than that.

Another potential tactic... Get about a hundred tatooes, grow a beard, carry a handgun, axe handle and machete, and hang out with the kind of bikers that everybody always thinks that we're all like :shocked:... The locals will be so terrifited of messing with your or your stuff that they'll run like the blazes if they even see you coming!
