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.
TIMES SQUARE MEET UPDATE.

ok, let me know I can get some rates for you. I would not recommend staying in manhattan due to pricing and parking.

We stayed at the Waldorf the one time we went to Manhatten. It was a pretty nice hotel. A notch or two better than a Motel 6.

The only thing I am worried about is having secure parking to park the spyder at while there....Also the wife may be coming along with my 2 1/2 year old son.....driving her SUV down so we can spend some time sight seeing together. My 11 year old daughter will be riding with me on the spyder....She has never been to NYC so she is excited.
Anyone know of a good hotel that might be outside the city that we wouldn't have to worry about parking 3 spyders overnight?

Spyder-dude, When I went back to New York last year with a girl friend and her daughter we stayed at the Marriott at LaGuardia. You could park in secure parking for the hotel that way or even airport parking. While you are not using your spyder you can buy a $7.00 all day transit pass. We took the bus from the airport and then used the subways, trains and buses all day long to get all over Manhattan, it was very fun.

she hit it on the nose, mariott laguardia will park your bikes right in the enclosed circle, it is also easy to get to brooklyn and manhattan from there.

18th? What was the meet w/ your other post? Dammit - I can't make that date either. Hopefully someday before it snows.
When ever I'm in NYC I stay at the Best Western Presidents Hotel. It's on W. 48th St between 8th & Broadway. It's in the heart of the theater district and at the beginning of Times Square. There is parking on the next block north on 8th & 49th. It's inside and secure and the hotel has a deal with them. Just a thought.
