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.
Thinking on this Cyber Monday deal on motorcycle lock - any comments?

Some sort of cable - lock - alarm.
Some connect via Bluetooth to your phone if your close enough may be worth considering.
A cover will keep viewers off ya bike.

Looks pretty good. If it works for you, then just do it! :2thumbs:
Mind you, some of the pics on that site do remind me of an incident that happened many years ago now.... I'd been working on a base in Sydney, & with a few friends had been living just a 5 minute run away in a flat above a Chinese Restaurant & opposite the local Ex-Servicemans Club (jog to/from the base; food downstairs; entertainment, pokies, cheap beer & ... just over the road - perfect!
) but it wasn't the safest part of town to leave a bike on the street or the easiest place to park either, not even for a motorcycle, so usually we all rode our bikes up the stairs and parked them on the first-floor landing. No-one else but us up there, so it was fine - good spot to work on the bikes too, but it did make a bit of noise plus it took a bit of skill and a few minutes to get them all downstairs again. 
We all had some leave due, and we'd been planning a Long Weekend ride/road trip back home to South Oz for a while... The Friday night in question, cos we were planning on leaving at sparrow fart on Saturday morning, all the others decided to park their bikes in the laneway next door, all nose in & chained to a Stobie pole (a dirty great concrete & steel power pole
) but around midnight, despite some ribbing about 'my paranoia', I still chose to park my bike on the landing like we'd always done..... And just a few hours later, we all headed down the stairs rarin' to hit the road (me already riding my bike ) only to be greeted by the sight of 4 front wheels and one set of front forks chained to the stobie pole where the others had left their (now stolen!) bikes!! :gaah: They didn't take too long, but when they got there, the local Police said they'd recently had a gang of bike thieves working the area using tow trucks, grinders, and gas axes; just cutting whatever they needed to cut in order to lift the bikes onto the tow trucks & taking off in moments - some bikes had even been stolen within minutes of being parked, despite being chained/locked to various immovable objects!! So I ended up doing that particular road trip with just one of the others riding pillion!! :spyder:
Then years later my Brother-in-law had his Heritage Softail stolen from his very secure garage, despite it being chained with armoured chain to a dirty great bolt embedded feet into the reinforced concrete floor - the crims used liquid nitrogen to freeze the steel door hinges before shattering them with a sledge hammer; then did the same on the chain! Must've used about a gallon of liquid nitrogen tho, cos it destroyed the concrete floor too!! :shocked:
So while I'm all for locking things up if it gives you peace of mind, just remember, if the real crims want something, they'll take it, one way or another! :cus:

Not trying to discourage you from buying the lock, but locks are just to keep the honest people out. Locks only slow the dishonest people down, or possibly make it too much work to bother with, and then they go on off to find an easier target.
With all the modern 18 volt cordless tools, a small cordless side grinder would make short work of cutting through most any cable, strap, or chain. It would also make a good bit of noise and throw a lot of sparks which most thieves would not want to be too obvious about it. The newer brand of thieves who have get out of jail free cards with no bail, do not have much respect for the law anymore.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's not the real thing for $50

Sadly passed away, December '23.
I think it would work well enough on a two wheeled bike which can easily be rolled onto a utility trailer and gone in 60 seconds. However I believe our Spyders are a lot more cumbersome to steal for all but the most dedicated thieves. Especially with the electronic parking brake. However if it gives you a little more peace of mind then by all means go for it.
