• 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.

why i purchased my spyder

I have been riding motorcycles for 48 years now. I have owned every Japanese brand, BMW's, Triumphs, Harleys and a Victory. I do not now nor have I ever felt the need to identify with a brand (nor wear a Pirate suit).

My wife and I have traveled all over the country and a few years ago started to pull a trailer to increase our comfort on the road. We started with a cargo trailer and then moved to a small Camper trailer. My last tow vehicle was a Victory Cross Roads which carried the two of us and the trailer just fine but I found that traffic tie ups and dirt roads were beginning to tax me when fully loaded. Consequently, after some research, we bought a leftover 2018 F3L SE6 last February. It was a learning experience for me to shed the two wheel muscle memory but I will have to say that I am so much more at ease in all conditions on this beast. I have covered several states this summer and look forward to many more miles of travel, sightseeing, rallies and camping. It was an excellent choice. In fact, my wife liked it so much she bought a Ryker 600 and just loves it. I seldom have the pleasure of riding two up anymore.

I sold the Victory but bought a used BMW R1100R to stay with two wheels as the mood strikes. I have the best of both worlds.
