• 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.

New-Bee on the ROCK

I hear what your guys and gals are saying about safety..
I am in China and you thing some places in USA are bad, thats a cake walk compared to here..
I like all the safety features built into the :spyder2:

I have only known about this machine a few weeks now and really like what I see...... Hope go get on in the next year... But first must do my research and with a little help from you experienced riders maybe I can get a good one!!

Ni Hao. :welcome:
 
I started riding in 1961 with Triumph Bonneville's. Since then I have ridden many dozens of bikes and owned well over a dozen myself. Some I owned were iconic - Norton Commando, '73 Kawasaki Z900, etc. Many were were cruisers, other crotch rockets. All in all each had it's strengths and weakness. In fact, all were criticized by some reporter somewhere. Some pundits who claimed to know why people did this or that liberally lent their opinions to print (no internet then). Now many of those bikes are "classics" sought out by collectors. In fact I still ride an '86 Honda V65!

My point is this - the pundits can't see the future. In fact they want to sell their articles so they have to find fault so someone somewhere will read them. It is rare to find pundits that are objective and impartial. The more controversy the more money they make. You know what you want in a machine and that is what you should focus on. Soon, you'll find that the Spyder is common place and copied by many.

In all the motorcycles I have owned, the Spyder stands head and shoulders above the others. It accomplishes everything I want in this type machine. I would not trade it for any production motorcycle on the market today. I can say without fear of contradiction, that my decision to buy had nothing to do with my age or infirmity but strictly with the type of riding I do. I want to travel long distances and carry a lot of gear and this machines does that well.

Stay the course and ignore the others! You are the ones breaking the molds and leading motorcycles into the future.

Couldn't have said it any better. I get tired of any pundit, no matter whether they are political, writers, etc. They think their opinions are the right ones and they are above and beyond any one else. Thanks for stating what so many of us think!! :clap:
