• 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.

Definitely the Twisties!!!

I prefer the twisties and at a high rate of speed (When ryding 1-up, that is). I like the challenge of ryding my Spyder under challenging conditions...and the greater the speed the better. During the week, I am the "Responsible Dad" and "Responsible Boyfriend" that obeys posted speed limits, is ultra cautious, and drives defensively...on the weekends, I like to grab a buddy (on either 2 wheels or 3) and hit the hills for some spirited rydes where there is little or no traffic.
 
555

Just did 555 in ohio and it is a great road. Lots of elevation change and tons of lefts and rights....back roads are the best!:thumbup:
 
Back roads and twisties are my favorites. I am blessed with about a dozen of these roads all within 50 miles or less--but more than half of them within 20 miles or less. Add in changes in elevation, mountain vistas, hardly any traffic, and it does not get much better than that. I am going to go on one in a couple hours just to get another ryde in this season.

Come and join me sometime. You will not be disappointed. :thumbup:

The Knik River Road--about 15 miles from home.

Seems like where ever we go time is limited, so we travel interstate. I hate twisties and find that the "good old country roads" are an accident waiting for a place to happen...wild or loose animals, people coming off their property, unknown road conditions, road debris, etc. Country roads are not maintained like the major highways, so I avoid them as much as possible. Having ridden almost 50 years with this philosophy, I am inclined to not change.
 
I am kind of surprised that people who like all roads is pretty much neck and neck with folks who prefer the curvey roads. I figured twisting roads would run away with this pole.
