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.

Or...... "you can save yourself almost $55,000....." :yikes: . Nah, been there, done that; bought the T-shirt, caught the bus home!
I think I'll just stick with my Spyder; so that'll be a big No Thanks, to both options!! :roflblack:

:chat:....I have to agree that this is Not a Trike. Yes it does look like the originals,1990's Goldwings and HD's of yester years.
Just NO Way, would I spend that much money on that bike.
I will just enjoy the Time on my Spyder.
Stay Healthy and Be Safe. ....:thumbup:

I would opt for the "car" option instead.

For $50,000 bucks you could have the finest Spyder they sell, in any configuration you want, and have it fully customized, with professional air-brush art, blower, custom exhausts, or just about anything you can imagine. It would be one of a kind.
It would get far more attention than a CVO, because the general public has no clue about motorcycle models, or even brands. Most of the general public can't tell one model from another, if there is not a sticker or name plate on it.

My dad bought our 1st house in 1955 for about $10,000. This house right here (2023 version which is essentially unchanged except for cosmetics)
1320 Square Feet single family home is a 3 beds, 2 baths property. We were a family of 5 kids and 2 parents in this house. Never seemed crowded or cramped to me. Things were smaller in those days. Had a huge back yard compared to homes these days. Parents threw us out of the house in the morning and we were allowed to come back in for lunch and dinner. No cell phones or video games. We played outside all day long, and happily so. These days it's hard to get a young person to go outside unless they are in a car.
Sold for $395,000 in 2016. Current market value, according to Redfin, $675,000. In reality, it's not worth any more today than it was in 1955. The difference is, your dollar is worthless. We have done it to ourselves. We continue to elect politicians that promise us the moon. And we never think about the cost. But don't worry. Compared to the future they have planned for us. We will be calling what we have now, 'The Good Old Days'.

Wait until your spyder is 15 years old and you try and source parts, you can still source parts for 100 year old Harleys, yes they are far and few between but you can find them.

People that buy Harleys fall under 4 category's.
1- the yahoos and zipper heads, these are the ones wheeling doing burnouts and bar hopping, these bikes come up for sale 3-5 years old with 2-5 thousand actual mileage but with 150K miles of abuse.
2- The I have to have a Harley owner. the ones that go out for an occasional ride buy all the new shiny leather jacket and boots/gloves and ends up selling the super low mileage bike in under 7 years taking a loss because he financed it for 96 months.
3- The biker. this is the one that embraces the biker life style rides ten thousand plus miles a year no matter the geographical location of where he lives. He / She will go out of their way to go to a motorcycle event they will sleep under a park bench in a rest area on the interstate when they get tired of riding/bail you out of jail/drive 300 miles to pick you up when broken down/ spend a weekend wrenching on your scooter. (yes we call them scooters).
If it were not for my wife having a stroke I would be on a new Harley CVO Road Glide. MY heart will always be with Harley Davidson.
4- the collector. The person that thinks he's going to double or triple his investment in 10-20 years only to realize it's only worth what some other idiot is willing to pay for it.
It's a motorcycle people ride the damn things.
Last but not least wave don't wave I don't care, me 99.9% of the time I'm focused on the road in front of me and that's far more important than waving at some idiot going to opposite direction.

:yes: I like F150's. The problem, the $70K or so for the "upline" HD designation is out of my comfort zone.
You first.

Time to re-direct. The thread is talking about "not a trike." Let's leave the economy and politics out. :bowdown:
