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.

Rock,
The test ride is fun, but doesn't do the Spyder justice. I did 8 miles on my test ride which spanned side streets, back roads, and a short bit of interstate. The feel of the Spyder "mentally" changed from the first minute to the last from weird (I was used to two wheels), to more comfy. Once i got my Spyder home from a dealer that had the right price and rode it on my own terms the Spyder became so much more comfy to ride and I'm taking corners pretty aggressively now. No regrets.
Just make sure you look at more dealers. The dealer I test rode with cast a high price as bait just to see if I'd bite... I ended up working 3 local dealers and one out of state and found an awesome dealer that was great to work with and willing to beat any other dealer's price. Saving $1k to $2k on price does indeed matter. - Regardless of who gave you the test ride.

I took my test drive today, the guy at the shop was there an hour before opening to give me a test drive at 8am. I test drove a silver semi-automatic and drove 3 times around the parking lot, then I was comfortable enough to go on road. I followed the guy at the shop who was on a black manual spyder and we drove over 10 miles on the back roads of New Hampshire.
I loved it! When we got back I put down a deposit on a Yellow Semi automatic... I'll have to see if yellow is the fastest
DynamoBT, i'm in East Kingston, not too far from you.
The price was just under $18k, but I also am getting the 12V electric in the front trunk, the 1" higher handle bars, and fog lights.
I probably could have shopped around more. I did try to check it out at another dealer further south but they didn't have any on the lot and I didn't get the best vibe from them. Where I test drove is where I will be taking the spyder for service and I was impressed that he opened the shop early to help me take a test drive. I didn't want to be a dick and buy it somewhere else for slightly less if i'm going to be servicing it there all the time. I still think I got a decent deal.
They didn't have a yellow one on the lot, so he is going to call me back early this week with a delivery date.
I'm so excited!!

I'm a hop, skip, and a jump down Rt. 111. I'm up for ryding just about any time! Who did you go to? If you don't want to put it on the forum you can send me a Private Message. I bought mine used. I'm using Bickford's Powersports in Epsom on Rt 4 as my dealer. Small place, family owned and operated, great service so far.
