• 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.

Greetings, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ron; I have been riding two wheels for thirty two years. I started on a Husky in the dirt, to my current ride a 05 Busa.
In September of 09’ I was diagnosed with Lymphoma and secondary paralysis to the left leg. After radiation and chemo therapy I learned that my left foot would no longer work as before. (Drop foot).
At my stay in Hospital, I could hear bike’s going by and it made me long to ride. After I got out, I began my Physical therapy on the leg and it go’s well. I got an AFO brace and it helps tremendously, but still will not shift.
In March, a friend gave me a copy of Cycle World with a quick snip on the RT-S and I swear the man riding is wearing the same AFO brace in the pic as I wear. I though of course, this is for me! After a life time on sport bikes, I was interested in the RS, however at the showroom I fell in love with the RT-S.
I have never had a touring bike, though I’ve always wanted a Gold Wing. At 5’5 140. I went the sport bike way. I will continue my rehab and look forward to my new life of three-wheel touring.
I would like to thank Lamonster for this great site!
 
welcome
The Spyder has opened up the doors to many riders like you. I don't have a physical limitation but I love riding the Spyder, RT or RS they are both a blast to ride. Hope to see you on a Spyder soon.
 
Welcome! This is a great site and you'll love your Spyder. BRP has a great thing here with helping those with limited mobility ride again (or for the first time).
 
Welcome - I think you will find the Mile-High City a hotbed of Spyders - there seems to be lots of them there.

Good luck on your therapy and you will have lots of good rides ahead of you.

Thank you for the welcome and the kind words.
Looks like I have found the right community of like minded riders.
