• 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.

Does anybody use a GPS Tracking device for monitoring their Spyder's location?

I have a bunch of these little alarms. They give a warning chirp before fully going off. I had a couple in my SxS, on Spyders, on bicycles, storage box on trailer, under the pickup bed cover on and on.
I pretty much use the same. What I hate about it is whenever I feel it's going to be useful, the batteries just decide to take a dump. :(:(
 
Twice for me, once in LaPaz Baja, forgot to lock a saddlebag, they stole a bag of dirty laundry and 1 pound of jerky; years later on Hwy 1, depressed town in Oregon, I had a bag strapped on my rear trunk, they cut it off. Around a $500 loss. Nice hotel, still had dirtbags in the area. I've since started carrying a cover on my 2 wheel bikes, one takes up too much room on the Spyder, but then, everything is locked and nothing left out to steal now!

Two Years ago I spent a night in Fort Nelson BC, there were signs in the parking lot warning guests not to leave valuables in your car and make sure your trailer was locked. I asked about theft at the front desk, and they said they get hit regularly, ATV's, snowmobiles, cars. I made sure there was nothing other than toilet paper in the bag on the luggage rack.
Knock on wood! I guess I have been lucky in all the places I have stayed.
