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.

Backup
Of course, I agree with the above... I hope you get back into shape quickly.
Having said that, and allowing the geek in me to rise...
It's important to have your computer stuff, tax returns, photos, program data, spyder insurance papersork, etc backed up and off site!
For $50 or $60 a year, you'll never lose any precious data. I have my 1500+ photos on my iMac at home, my iPad at home or in my car, and on my iPhone in my pocket, and I still backup continually. As many of you know, I lost my wife a few months ago, and a lot of those pics in my pocket can NEVER be taken again!

I now return you to your regularly scheduled Spyder thread... :^)

Thanks
Getting a place to live tomorrow, so will have a home wanting and waiting for a spyder to enter the garage once again. Talking to formost and central texas powersports next week to see what may be in our future spyderwise. Hopefully we can work something out without costing me a fortune. I had just gotten the blue baby the way we wanted it too... Thanks for all the prayers ya'll ... This fire really was a bod one... destroyed about 1600 homes. Not just burned but totally to ashes, not a toothpick unburned. Really devastating to such a small community. But there are alot of folks worse off than we are, and we were insured pretty well I think... Lamont if you are thinking about a 2012 model, I may know a buyer for ya...lol

Replacement on it way
We have a 2011 rts on it's way to replace the 2010 blue spyder that we lost. Hopefully it will be as trouble free as our melted blue one. Changing to silver color and to the se so maybe this one can escape any fires in the future. Thanks for all the prayers ya'll. We can and will rebuild our home (but not in the forest) and rebuild our lives. I'm sure the new spyder will help things get back to normal!

I missed the original thread and am glad to hear you guys are doing OK. Maybe your new 2011 silver RT should be named Phoenix since it sounds like you guys are rising out of this mess with a positive outlook. I pray it gets better as each day goes by.

ray:We found a rental house for a year while we rebuild somewhere to be determined.. can't use the rotax for a go cart as the block melted along with everything else dancogan We just came through your state Farran, Wifes brother died in Kansas City, love driving through the boston mountains. someday we will take the 3 wheeled version.
I have heard that silver is faster, should be able to find out next week!

Glad to hear you are putting one foot in front of the other and getting on with your lives. Not easy after what you've been through. I've often thought that if I experienced a disaster like that, that I might just sit and cry. I'll bet you did some crying too. Good luck to you as you carry on. Having the Spyder has got to help melt the blues. Best of luck to you and your family.

I agree with DynamoBT I would just sit and cry for ever I think. My prayers go out to you and your family. Best of everything when you get to rebuild. Today I wish for you a day of ordinary miracles...... A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself........ An unexpected phone call from an old friend.............. Green stop lights on your way to work.............The fastest line in the grocery store............. A good sing along song on the radio.........Your keys found right where you left them.......... and best wish of all............ a new :spyder2: by your side or at least in the garage!!!! May all your wishes come true. Think positive and they will.
Just an update... picked up the 2011 rts se today.. really strange not having a clutch, but really shifts well. I will have to get used to it. Really beautiful metalic silver. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. Now for the mods. Already ordered the utopia backrest. Does anyone use the chatterbox? The helmets I got are bt ready for the chatterbox, but I had the scala g4's. what recomendations are out there?
