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.
Top Speed on your Spyder ????

132 (214 kph) on mine with the Stock "touring" as well. I am a little under 135lbs so that might have helped out a little. I was right at the end of the throttle at the time though, so not much more from mine, I expect.

Told my story, 125 with some left and the original sport shield, original handlebars, and laid down.
How you doing these days Evan? Coming to the BBQ?

You have not ridden with Lamont much.
I did 125 mph on a freeway on ramp one time (Suzuki M109R) keeping up with Lamont. When I asked him why we were going this speed his answer was "Because it was too short to go any faster!" :yikes:
Then, later that same day, I was going 145 mph trying to keep up with Lamont! He was pulling away from me and I decided to back off. His GPS recored 151 mph. And he was towing a Bushtec trailer! :yikes::gaah::yikes:
So, 125 is pretty mundane, depending on who you're used to riding with.
Oh, and sorry, I'm not buying the 138 mph Spyder run.

Well, I don't have a picture of it because when it happens (triple digits) I usually am not trying to do it. Last time was 116mph. I was on a frontage road with a long straight and great visability. I was listening to some Ozzie Osborn and just cruising down the road. I looked over at the Interstate and there was a CHP coming up the hwy as I was headed down the frontage road so I looked down to see how fast I was going. 116 mph, oops.
I headed for the parking lot of a little rural store a couple miles down the road. I parked for a few minutes to have some water. Sure enough, as I was sitting there the CHP came off of the Interstate (in the opposite direction he had been travelling) and made a beeline up the frontage road I had just pulled off of.
I think he was so busy looking for me on the road that he just never saw me sitting there. The thing is, the Highway Patrol base office for this area is right here in the town I live in. There are only 3 or 4 Spyders in the area that I know of and only 2 of them are silver. Guess I should keep the stock paint job for a while.

And how many extra pounds the rider is carrying around.

On 14 in a full tuck, no wind resistance and level, wide open road I have seen 132. And it seemed like had more in it. At about 109 she just kind of squats down and tracks very true. I don't know if anyone else has noticed that. This chassis likes downforce! I do not recall what the tach read but it was in the 9000 range (maybe 9250)...
