• 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.

This is for people that know the area. Does this area have little hills/bank that I could back my truck up to, so I can get my Spyder off the back of my truck ?????? A local dealer that has a ramp would also work for me.

If anyone knows the area and has info, please respond. :thumbup:

I've been there several times, but rode in; however, I seem to remember that the Wheels Through Time MC museum has a ramp. Call them to confirm @ (828) 926-6266

BTW, the museum is a must see. ...Don
 
Personally, I'm more concerned about close spaced repeated hills/dips. that kind of rollercoaster up and down gets to me quickly.
 
They also have some really steep ones. I think they are called mountains. Pull the truck up one, open the tailgate or ramp, release the tie-downs, and the Spyder is sure to come out. :joke:

I have a tractor, I can pic it out for you. :shocked::roflblack:

What happened to that fancy trailer you've been hauling your Spyder with?

If you had a fork attachment, I'd take you up on that . :roflblack:


I have the trailer, but was looking not to haul it. :thumbup:
 
I have a tri-fold ramp.

You could use it I reckon and unload it at my place (hills). Then if you can handle it, its like a 3hr ride to Maggie Valley

Thanks Tito, I also have a tri-fold ramp, but the incline off my truck is to steep and will drag the nose of my Spyder. Maybe I'll fool with it a little and try to attach some 2x8's or something to cut down the pitch enough to get it off. I'm sure I'll be able to find a place with a slight incline to get it done along with my ramp.

Getting it done without being arrested for tresspassing will be a different story. :roflblack:

If all you need is a few inches, almost everyplace has a parking lot with a curb and a wide patch of lawn or sidewalk. Unload with the ends of the ramps on the curb, then pull the truck aside, put the ramps on the curb, and move the Spyder to the pavement.

If you have the ramps I have a bank where the pool was that will work. I use it to load and unload dirtbikes.

I called Wheels Through Time and they DO NOT have a dock/ramp per se. They do, however, have an inclined place on their lot where you can conveniently use your ramps to offload. This is where they offload their cycles. They said there is no problem with you or other members using this spot.

I really appreciate you going out of your way to make that phone call. :thumbup: That is such great news and it's less than a half of mile from our hotel !!!!! :yes::yes:When you mentioned that earlier, I didn't know that place was so close. Thank you Wheels through Time, and thank you all for your help. :thumbup:

Glad to help. Everyone who attends will enjoy the area. The obvious draw is the BRP - Blue Ridge Parkway. Cherokee is also close as well as several side routes off the parkway. Let me search my memory bank and I will recommend some greast places to eat. ...Don
