• 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.

    Cup Holder

    Cup holder +++ I have had cup holders on my Goldwings no big deal to come to a stop take a drink, and tear down the road. Now since the Spyder is so much different, I thought, I would, maybe, add a small blender, maybe a small ice maker, so by the time I get to my destination I could have...
