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.

That's actually a pretty old, and VERY biased video... :banghead:

That does go back.
The main sticking point for me was the Honda is not a FACTORY machine. Most Honda dealers will not even work on them. They lose their warranty when triked.
From a safety point of view, the Spyder wins hands down. :thumbup:

Very interesting and informative. The next time I ride on a steep slope, I will take Mr. Cognac. (I never needed to in the last 69 years of riding) The next time I wish to back up at 20mph for 150', I will take Mr. Cognac. (never needed to as I only need to back 30' out of my barn or 20' out a parking place) When I wish to go to El Paso on IH10 for the 550 miles and cruse at the 80mph speed limit, I will take my Motor Trike, Mr. Orange. The next time I wish to talk on my CB with my riding buddies, I will take Mr. Orange vs the sorry piece of crap CB on Mr. Cognac. The next time I need tires for Mr. Cognac I will buy car tires so they last a while. When I need tires for Mr. Orange I will buy..... oh, I already have car tires and get 45K on them..... just saying..... and the next time I need four bags for a trip, I will take my pickup.....with Mr. Cognac or Mr. Orange in the back.

p.s. I have never needed work on my 2002 Gold Wing by a dealer and changing the oil and filter is easy. I have a man who does it for me and greases the spline as needed for $12. (my oil) I am scheduled to take Mr. Cognac to the dealer Thursday for oil and filter changes. I can not do it easily with my bad knee and have to jack it up, etc. My oil, but it ain't gonna be no $12!! Just saying......
My Honda dealer said he will work on the engine and transmission but not the Motor Trike kit. My Motor Trike friend will work on the kit but has never had to. GW is 15+ years old and conversion is 12.....both bulletproof.

My no-repair information comes from the local Honda dealers. Can't say what is happening elsewhere.

From back in their "glory days."
Does Cowtown have a bad rep?
I ask because that is where I bought my Spyder, and it's who I would have service it due to location.

They do not have a bad rep. Spyderfest started there. Pittbull decided to open his own store in Springfield. The rest is history.
