• 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.

    Texas Tripod Signing Off

    Traded the Spyder in today for a new KLR-650 and some cash. It was getting to be too much of a hassle to transport it to Houston whenever I needed work done. It had been at Mancuso for several weeks for minor work and to get the new DPS installed so I decided to get something that I could work...

    Year Model??

    When I bought my Spyder back in October of 2008 I was told by the Dealer that this was a 2009 model,but when I got my title it was listed as a 2008 year model. Are there actually 2009 year model Spyders or are they just left over 2008's? The Dealer invoice says 2009. Just wondering.
