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.
Okay CTers, sound off...

Put a down payment on mine in 2007, sight unseen. First bike. I have 3 small children and the safety factor faired well with my wife. You're definitely noticed on the Spyder; I've made many trips from Milford to my Stamford office via I95. Maybe it's the fact they're new, but many people yield and back off as you're riding the highway, at least that's my observation. Wife also loves tagging along :2thumbs:
Fast, comfortable, and very cool... and as you've stated, we have an A-1 shop in Garganos' for service.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

I kept my 2 wheeler just in case, but i don't see myself ever wanting to take that over the Spyder. It is a 1985 Madura, 4 cyl 700 cc engine. I won't cost me much to keep it, it is bought and paid for. I liked it fine and would not have replaced it with another 2 wheeler. But then I saw the Spyder, did a few test rides, and was convinced it will be my ride for years to come. So now the Suzuki sits. I will sell it in the Spring.
I don't miss the ability to split lanes, in fact in most cases, I had been able to sneak past traffic with the Spyder. With the added stability, it is even more comfortable to do if you have 5 feet to spare. And if you should have to stop and wait, well, you just sit there not having to hold the bike up. Once you get used to the cornering, you won't miss the countersteering so much. It is still different. and requires a more work on the driver's part than to just lean, but, dang, it's a blast! :yes:

OK, one other downside, it does require more room in the garage than a two wheeler............

Mine has been out of hibernation since Feb. I will ride as long as the salt is washed off of the roads.
