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.

When do you plan to go through I-44 in Missouri? Date/Time
I would love to meet you somewhere along the way, preferably towards the Sringfield, or Joplin, into Oklahoma, before you turn off at BigCabin, OK.
Always been a fan of both of you. You both are helpful and encouraging in your threads on this forum. After all I got a Russell Day Long at your advice and a trailer hitch!

"Kirk" is my name, hence "Captain Kirk" although I was in the Army and reached rank of Major before leaving.
e-mail and I will give you my phone number.

Scott, it hasn't been officially announced yet, but here is a copy of a post of mine from earlier in this thread.
"All the official info is supposed to be on BRP's website on April 2nd. I got this info from a chat transcript that was published on BRP's website last week:
BRP Can-Am Spyder Marketing -> Absolutely! We're very excited about this year's Official Spyder Owner's Gathering. It will take place on June 26 to 28 in Los Angeles CA. The key date is Saturday June 27 for the Premiere of Transformers II which will feature Spyder roadsters. Activities will take place at Universal Studios City Walk Hollywood. It's going to be a blast. And, just like the Valcourt Homecoming, we have a number of surprises in store!!! All official details and registration forms will be online at www.SpyderRyder.com as of April 2, 2009.
BRP Can-Am Spyder Marketing -> More info on L.A. event on SpyderRyder.com as of April 2nd, 2009. We will raffle off 10 VIP passes to visit Jay Leno's Garage for early bird registrations."

Thanks, Steve, but plans don't look too good right now. I have been thinking about a multi-week trip out there... just don't know when.

opcorn:I live in Newport Beach, if you guys (& gals) plan a ride that comes down this way I could jump on and ride all or part of it.
So far, I've only ridden my Spyder along with groups of two wheel bikes or alone (except for the Mt. Palomar ride with Lamonster). It would be great to ride in a group of Spyders.
Last Sunday as I came onto the I-605 freeway (southbound) from the I-210, I pulled on right next to a yellow Spyder (like mine). First time that has happened! Unfortunately I was driving my Honda pickup truck, not my Spyder, while returning from a great weekend of IK paddling on the Kern River.

Ah, ha. Hippy Hollow still there? Has it changed by now? I lived in Woodland Hills in '92-'94 and made that ride (in a Vette) many times.

I am going to ride from Seattle to San Diego for the west coast spyder rally. Won't be big as the homecoming in LA but I like low key and I get to avoid LA madness. :doorag:
Might just head to Sturgis from there but SD is for sure.

I'm not sure... the name does not ring a bell... but at my age, a lot of names no longer ring bells. :yikes:

Steve, those rides sound great but I am not going to commit to anything until after I see what BRP actually has planned. For Saturday the 27th, that is supposed to be their main day of events and I would like to see the agenda. After all, this is going to be a big deal, you may want to reconsider and spend some time with BRP and the spyder crowd. I think you will find that a lot of riders will want to stay for the BRP events at least for that one day. Maybe on Thursday or Friday if the events are small we can plan an all out ride to all those cool places. I just know at the Homecoming in Quebec, BRP did it up right and I want to make sure and see what they are doing in LA. So don't make any plans not to come just yet Steve, okay.

I would love to have you join us for a section of the ride and a good SpyderLovers hello. I hope you aren't disappointed in that seat, I would hate to be blamed for that. I have been through MO on that route many times on our way to Tulsa for the World Pinto show for my daughter. So this part of the ride will be very familiar. Of course going through the hills on a spyder vs. a 3/4 ton pick up witha 28 ft horse trailer will be considerably different. My email is [email protected] or you can PM me here as well.

Okay good, I misunderstood, I thought you were saying you were only going to be there briefly. I know a lot of SpyderLovers will want to say hello so you had better plan on being around.
