• 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.

    Anyone going back and forth from their Spyder to a motorcycle?

    I ride both a Spyder and two wheel motorcycles. Have no issues going back and forth between them. I went to a smaller bike, Royal Enfield Scram 411 and a Honda XR150L. I sometimes ride all of them in a day. I am 76.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    This is the first Kanine I have had on my Spyder. The tread looks deeper than the earlier Kendas. Traction seems fine. I do not ride real hard, just a lot, so I don't push the limits of tires. Will see how long it lasts.
