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.

Great Trip
I did the trip last year with a couple of others. Brian Kelly (Irishtothemax) pretty much put the trip together. Unfortunately, he died this past spring. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have and I'm sure there are others who will do the same. Here's a link to our trip. Hope this helps:

If you would like to PM me, I'll be happy go over the trip with you. I don't know when you are planning to come but I would suggest you try to get here for Spyderfest, April 23-29. You can get the details here on Spyderlovers. It is held in Cuba, Missouri, which is right on route 66. This is where we started our trip last year instead of Chicago since route 66 in Illinois is pretty much a regular road. There will be several hundred Spyders at Spyderfest plus the host is one of the top, if not the top, Spyder dealers in the country. You will meet lots of great people here who will help you start your trip. Spring is a good time to do this trip as it has not gotten too hot in the American southwest. You may hit some rain though but who knows.

. Thank you for info! Now I now the best time to come - April. We invite everybody who wanna join us! We will be happy to be in contact with you. There is a question, what should we do with Spyders. To bring them with us is too expensive. There are 2 way - buy them there or rent. May be anyone knows the company where we can rent Spyders?

Rental
Check this company for spyder rental. http://www.eaglerider.com/
They have a location in Southern California which is basically the west end of RT 66. It looks like a Spyder rents for about $165 a day. I haven't personnally rented from them so I recommend you research a bit. I also don't know how many Spyders they have to rent at the same time, which could be an issue. Rental companies are famous for not having the bike you wanted once you arrive. I cant imagine you would actually purchase Spyders for one trip and then leave the country ?? But you have planty of time to figure it out. I'll check around a bit.

You might contact "the pitbull buggy" on this forum. His name is Len. He is the owner of the dealership in Cuba, Mo. and is host of Spyderfest. He may help you with some kind of rental or know where you might rent a couple. You might also put something in the buy and sell thread on this forum. Maybe someone will rent you their spyder for a couple of weeks:dontknow:.
