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.

Thinks out loud
anybody ever get a speeding ticket on their spyder? i got one several weeks ago, i have to admit it took the wind out of my sails. 121 dollars. i'm very aware of my speed now at all times.:gaah::banghead: first ticket in 25 or so years.opcorn:
Ohio has never been lax with their speed laws. Best I recall, has to be one of the toughest states out there.
None with a Spyder, And the last one i got was with my Cb750 back in the last century.
Got many warning's over the years but none that stuck. A few years ago i blew bye a state trooper at 50 mph, When he stopped me i started to argue with him, I said why are you stopping me I'm only doing 50, Then after a few minutes he informed me that this stretch of road was 30 :yikes:
pps: All while i thought it was 45 and i was only going 5 over, See honesty [stupidity] pays just got a warning.

69 in a 45
How bout 69 in less than a quarter mile on 5 lane highway labelled 45. Pulled over by Indiana State Trooper who couldn't have been happier he got me because when he "zig-zagged" up to the Spyder like some kind of Military maneuver he asked me how fast I was going to which I replied"60?" he replied with "I NAILED YOU A 69". Took my license and registration and I kid you not he came back in less than 2 minutes with a 8 1/2 by 11 computer paper ticket, handed it to me and said have fun but slow it down. What a prick! what ever happen to discretion, cops are just the new form of Tax Collectors for the KING!
Oh by the way it's costing me $139.50 and 4 points on my license.

Blessings
I've given my fair share of cites and received a few as well. Anytime I have gotten one I just counted my blessings for all the times that I did something that if caught I could have been cited but was lucky that I didn't get caught. Its like a game. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Either way when you dance the dance you have to pay the piper. Bad mouthing the cops is like hating your parents when they ground you. Every time they have to get out to deal with a violator they endanger themselves in an effort to keep everyone else save. I could go on and on and on but those that understand know what I'm talking about and those that don't probably won't until they call for help.

So far so good for me. I use the cruise on the highway and never go more than 5 mph over the posted limit.
Last ticket I got was in WI in 2001--my last week there before moving to AK. It was after midnight and I went through a town (2 blocks worth of Main St.) and failed to slow from 55 to 30. That was about $200.00. The Ashland Couty Sherrif lies in wait on those towns as speed traps--and I knew better.

Bummer bro..... yeah-- I've got my fair share of them. PM me if you want some pointers on fighting them--- which you should ALWAYS do. 9 times out of 10 you can get a deferral without ever going to court. Most states will offer various kinds of deferrals. You typically pay an extra amount on top of the ticket price and they'll wipe the points away-- which is your main goal. Sometimes all they require is you go 6 months without another ticket. Many states have online 'driver safety classes' you can take in order to get a deferral. They cost around $50 and take 2-4 hours. If you complete the course and pass the test your points never get reported.
It's 100% about the money. They don't want to tie up the courts with stupid tickets.... they just want your money....
I belong to the NMA (National Motorists association) which has great info and membership benefits. If you're a member and get a ticket--- and fight it in court and lose--- THEY will pay the ticket for you. www.motorists.org

Speeding ticket
If it's not to late, go to the Prosecutors office & get deferral. It'll cost you a little more than the ticket, you sign a pledge you won't get any kind of ticket for 6 months. No ticket shows up on your record so it also won't affect your insurance rates. Been there, done that with my cage. If you sin during the 6 months, you'll pay both the 1st ticket & the new one, you lose the Prosecutor's fee & you have points for both tickets on your record. Be careful out there.

None yet. I can see how easy it could be to get one if your're not watching your speed. Even without getting on the throttle, it doesn't take very long to achieve in town speed limits. Dale
