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.
Not a crisis topic - just Old Age and a new curiousity - 50mph 'feels' faster...

The Need for SPEED? ?
....Well folks it's like this, some people have the 'Need for SPEED'.
I am retired and truly appreciate this 'time of life'. I have enjoyed ryding more and more but, because of all the cagers things are crazy. I am trying to be Safe and Stay Healthy. So the wife and I ryde at 'our pace'.
Enjoy your Ryde Times and Stay Safe.
Remember always be on the 'look out' for the cagers. Cell phones are the big problems.

80 last March, been riding something with a motor since the early '50's. Thanks to McRus was able to acquire an excellent well taken care of a mint '20 F3-L. Been thinking of one for several years, road my first one on a demo ride 2010 in Prescott, Az. Road raced on BMW's until 3 years ago. My new to me F3-L easily seems comfortable at cruising at speeds from the 60's to the 80's. The more I ride the Spyder the more I become super pleased with this new chapter of refusing to grow up. Riding the Spyder is much closer to the feelings, and sensations of a motorcycle than the same with a Top Down convertible. Hard to explain, but there is a difference, one you are in the wind as one with the environment, as opposed to being in the confines of a topless Car.

With the constant 15-20mph winds down here, I like to keep it around 55-60. But yesterday was a rare no-wind day, so on a nice new stretch of asphalt that I had all to myself for a while, I punched it out to 110 for a minute or so. Wheee! The most I ever coaxed out of mine was 117, a few years ago, with a little tailwind.
Oh, and I'm now on the downhill side toward age 84. :doorag:
