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.

I took the course and found it to be very helpful in two ways. First, I was still in decision making mode about the CanAm and the course allowed me seat time to help in this process. Second, although all the riding was on a closed parking lot course we were able to put the bikes through both the basic and some pretty extensive maneuvers. Getting a feeling of the Non-highway speed performance envelope of the Spyder was helpful to me.
Only about five people were enrolled in my course which made it more relaxing and didn’t feel rushed to stick to a set time for each exercise.
If I remember correctly I may have been the only person in the course with motorcycle riding, driving, experience. But this was also ok because it allowed me to process all the new information in the context of my riding experience. Some members of the class were more anxious than others about being on the bike. It’s important for the course and instructor to deal with these issues as well and all of us at one time or another had to slow the process down a bit to clear up some questions/concerns.

I am enrolled in the 3 wheel course in 3 months. I just started riding our Spyder again. I feel like a complete noob. I did parking lot slalom tonight. Shifting is no problem. I just need some saddle time to get used to the way it feels and handles. Do you have any suggestions about things to practice so I can get the most out of this class and feel more comfortable driving it?

In your Owners Manual there is a big section on how to ride, they show practice courses too. Take a look at it, if you don’t have one you can get one here http://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/...2.1561134371.1592538953-1010622978.1584325850
