• 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.

My 83 Year Old Mom Takes A Ride

She was rather concerned until she rode it! Afterwards she said, "Well, I feel much better about this thing now that I've been on it and see how much safer it is than a (two wheeled) motorcycle." :clap: HA! I took her around the block at about 15 MPH max. She couldn't wear the helmet. It was so heavy she could barely hold her head up. :shocked:

88yr old Father In Law

My 88yr old father in law met up with us in Yellowstone a couple years ago for a few days. My avatar is a picture of him on the back of mine entering the park at Gardiner. He loved it! And he's still going strong at 90 yrs.
 
She might like a longer ride soon! My dad just turned 91 and started riding motorcycles when he was in WWll. He rode up until recently. He lives with us now and keeps going in my garage and eying the Spyder. He says he would like one.
 
You figured out the secret. Those 15-20mph first rydes work very well for those who are not comfortable with riding on a motorcycle.

PS. She looked more like 58 on the ryde. :yes:
