• 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.

Prayers for Lamont

Meeting Lamont quite a few times over the last 5 years- He is one of the most optimistic people I have met in the Spyder community. Positive energy goes out into the universe for one of the most positive people I have met. Strength in your beliefs will help you get thru this
 
Update

Praying that his health news is getting better, any updates on how their doing?:pray:

From Joan … from late yesterday. Again, please respect their privacy and give them time to get through this.

Update. Out of respect to his 3 sons and his mother and sister I am keeping updates close. I don’t want rumors and half truths hurting his immediate family. I can tell you he slept day and night all weekend. He’s heavily sedated. His numbers are going the right way.

All the best …. Ann
 
Prayers

I have known Lamont and done business with him for 20 years, I feel honored to be able to consider myself a friend, he stayed at my home while visiting Prescott and we did some riding together. We rode together at Daytona Beach and at Spyder events. It is amazing what Lamont has accomplished in those 20 years! I am really pulling for you buddy! I am sending all the good karma and every prayer I can your way!

I just saw this. My best wishes for him and his family - I hope they know there is a larger group here that will do what they can to support him and his family.
 
Please get well soon, and all the best in these difficult times to you, your wife and family.
 
from Joan, Lamonster's wife

This is Joan. This is NOT Lamonster. I thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts. His sister is flying in from California tomorrow to come see him and help me make some decisions for his care. I have to get up early to make it for doctor rounds and just got through going through about 1,000 of his emails just since 28th.

I have had complaints of about too many prayer request threads and also about ten of you reported the post and you all know what I am talking about on the accident post. I have looked long at the post and tried to see how to handle it and I am going to leave it up because I don't want to take a chance on a soft delete. In the meantime, if that post offends you, just don't read it! It's that simple. I also understand people who don't want this forum to turn into a prayer forum. I cannot speak for the boss. Lamont is such a fair man and I have seen him handle situations where I would have just lost it. He never loses his cool. So I am going to have to ask you all to play nice, get along, and behave while Lamonster is in the hospital and unable to handle this and more.

I am still getting emails about help and questions and I am just forwarding them to Jacob at our shop. You can always call Lamonster Garage at 4173132245 and talk to the experts. We have to give Lamonster a break so he can get well.

If I see someone copy and post this message I will be very angry. Lamont has a family and 3 sons who are not taking this news very well. Today, he was going to be transferred to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St Louis and we were all for it and I went home briefly to get ready for the trip. When I got back, that had all changed so he is still in the hospital in Springfield Missouri. Again I know you all love him and want to be in the know but we have to respect his family. Please consider them. I DO NOT WANT COPY AND PASTES GOING AROUND!

I have only known Lamont for 4 years and have been married to him 3-1/2 years so most of you have known him far longer than me. The Lamont you see here and around and about it the same Lamont he is at home. He is a simple, honest, humble man who loves to help people and make them smile. He has brought more people together, not only in the Spyder world, but also in a couple other lines of motorcycles he has been involved with over the years. So let's pull for Lamont and cherish every single day of your lives. Things can change in an instant. I love Lamont dearly and I'm doing everything I can to see he gets the proper care so he can be back and around for many more years. All the best to you all and forgive me if this note offends anyone. I have been taking care of Lamont nonstop since our Spyders in the Ozarks event when he got very sick. I am worn out and we have much more to face ahead.
 
Hoping for good news soon.

Meantime thank you for taking the time to update us all - don't forget to look after yourself too, Joan.
 
May God cover you with his healing mercy. I pray also that he will give rest and strength to those who surround Lamont. Lord give wisdom to all the Doctors and staff who are attending Lamont. Amen
