• 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?

The only thing I would suggest is that when you first get the Spyder, do not ride the 2-wheeled stuff until you feel comfortable on the Spyder and you have built up the muscle memory for riding it. Basically, don't add confusion to your transition. Once you have that firmly under your belt, then the transition between the two will be much easier. The first five miles will probably always be a quick transition relearning curve.

Got rid of all my 2-wheelers except two. My IT 400 mono shocker, which resides on a milk crate now forever, and a jewel I came across years ago. An original Tote Goat. If you fly off the mono shocker, it's a long way to the ground, but if you flip off the Tote Goat, it still hurts, but you are only inches from the ground.
 
I recently sold my Moto Guzzi California 1400 and bought a Spyder - mostly because riding 2 up was becoming more of a struggle as I get older and I wanted to keep riding with my wife. But I still jump on my Vstrom 650 solo almost daily. No issues going back and forth but the Spyder does take some time to get used to. I do miss the hand brake.
 
I still ride the poor, old, slow V-Max. No problem with the counter steering as the muscle memory is well ingrained. I'll be 79 in a couple of months. V-Boost is a kick...

Should I get a 2014 now, or wait and get a newer model? Any 'gotta have' features?
