• 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.

    Spyder / Piaggio MP3 500 Need Advice

    I guess brilliant minds think alike! :D I wish I could postpone this, but I just can't. The guy is meeting me at the dealership where he is buying another bike. He lives in Iowa and is riding the MP3 500 to the dealer in Sycamore, Illinois. I'll be taking possession of this thing in the...

    Spyder / Piaggio MP3 500 Need Advice

    I've been searching the internet, and even googled the name, but I can't seem to find any AMERICAN forums that are dedicated to the Piaggio MP3. Do you know of any forums dedicated to this vehicle? Derwin

    Spyder / Piaggio MP3 500 Need Advice

    Now that, my friend, is a good one! :agree: Now maybe I should go on Slimfast so I won't feel out of place on this thing! :D I just checked, and it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow. As I've said, I have never driven a bike for this distance before, and I've certainly NEVER driven one in the...

    Spyder / Piaggio MP3 500 Need Advice

    Well, the guy just called me to let me know that the deal is a go. Dang....I'm exited! :yes: No, it's not the Spyder, but I'll keep my hopes up for getting one sometime in the future. :2excited: I go to pick this bike up tomorrow in Sycamore, Illinois, and will be riding it back to just south...

    Spyder / Piaggio MP3 500 Need Advice

    I know this is not Spyder related, but since I've been a part of this incredible community for around 2 years now, I thought I would come to you for some input/advice about the following... As many of you know, I've been trying to get up the money to purchase a Spyder for about 2 years now, but...

    Another Trikes Concept

    The Carver is not entering the North American market at this time, and were going through a few problems of their own in Europe. Although the vehicle is highly sought-after, the company was mishandled to a certain degree, and they are now working that all out. As to the AVAILABILITY of a...

    Another Trikes Concept

    I guess we have been talking PASSED each other, Tom. I never intended to be talking about this specific BMW design. As I've stated, I think the looks are ridiculous, and besides that, it is a CONCEPT design which will NEVER reach the marketplace anyway, so the point is indeed moot. My...

    Another Trikes Concept

    Well, I guess we should all sell our Spyders now according to that, right? If a semi truck hits ANY vehicle on the road, you will be dead meat. If ANY normal car hits a motorcycle, the motorcycle will lose. Just be careful no matter WHAT your riding is the best way to go. And I guess we should...

    Another Trikes Concept

    The funny thing is, Smylinacha, is that the only reason I jumped in on this conversation is to point out the NICE LOOKING vehicles that are using similar technology. I agree, the LOOKS of this BMW concept are atrocious. But the TECHNOLOGY that is in the thing is incredible. And, as I've pointed...

    Another Trikes Concept

    Actually, the Carver which is already on the market in Europe only gets around 45 miles per gallon. So I would not think any new MPG laws would be required for that car to go "mainstream". Like the Spyder, I think once a company puts a vehicle like this up for sale in the American marketplace...

    Another Trikes Concept

    Again, you are basing your opinion on a lack of understanding. Where would you drive this these types of vehicles? Well, anywhere you would drive ANY vehicle! Did you get a good look at the video I posted? Do you see him driving this on normal roads that are narrow, and even in small villages...

    Another Trikes Concept

    I agree! This body design is a complete disaster. I don't know what they were thinking! But the mechanics of it are incredible. Hopefully they'll get a new design team for the body! LOL! Derwin

    Another Trikes Concept

    I guess I'm just puzzled by your assessment. Hey, everybody has a right to their opinion. But I'm worried that your opinion is based on a complete lack of information. Let me go over a few of your statements one by one... "BMW is entering Segway territory here." And how do you reach this...

    Another Trikes Concept

    Tom, I think you should do a bit more research on what BMW has been doing over the past several years before coming to such conclusions. I would agree with you that the looks of this aren't too good, but the vehicle itself has engineering behind it that I wish GM, Ford, and any other American...

    My gosh, Lamont. Your place is simply gorgeous with the rolling hills and forest. You actually live in what looks like a little piece of heaven. Once I get my Spyder (and I WILL get one sooner or later!), I would be honored to attend one of your incredible BBQ's. Your a truly blessed man, my...

    Well, that would be fine with me, since I would be waiting for the weather to clear here in Chicago anyway. But are you SURE that May is the expected delivery date on these things? Derwin

    RT Delivery Date Clarifications

    Mark, I like the logo in your avatar. It's a very clever way to display the Christian symbol. I love it! :thumbup: I actually use the symbol whenever I sign my name, and have been doing it for the past 30 years since I was in High School. Derwin
