• 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.

Spyder as "traffic hazard"

:cop:My wife rode her Spyder to work today and parked it in front of building (main road thru town). She looked out a little after lunch and saw two patrol cars in parking lot. Seems there was a rear end collision in front of her work. Driver was busy looking at Spyder (according to cop), and ran into the rear of the car in front of them. :bigthumbsup:
 
I was waiting to make a left turn at an intersection last week. While I was stopped, a Jeep was making a left towards me. He ended up on the side walk because he was looking at my Spyder instead of the road. :spyder:
 
I've witnessed a few near misses as people lose track of what they are doing or where they are going as they stare at my Spyder. It's kind of frightening to see people driving down the road with their neck cranked around almost 180 degrees as they try to get a long look at the Spyder. :yikes:
 
Same here... many times have seen people do stupid things while driving just to get a better look. Had one guy just STOP.... right in the middle of the road.... and start taking pics with his cell phone....
 
I had the heebie jeebies the first hour I was out on my :spyder:! People kept beeping at me and waving and it was a total distraction but after a while I got used to the attention and liked it ;D
