• 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.

Conventional vs Reverse Trike Discussion

Just out of curiosity, what is your take on a GW converted to a reverse trike like the Spyder. Would the stability be similar to the Spyder? If this shouldn't be here, delete pls.
 
I would think the physics are there, how it handles is yet to be seen. When the three-wheeler bikes came out, one wheel in front, then the two wheels up front, I stepped back and remembered how those Big Red's that Honda had used to handle and how easy they would like to roll over on you in a turn. That was enough for me to make a quick decision about which one I wanted to try out! And now that I have friends who have one wheel up forward, and I get to listen to them and watch their riding from behind, I know in my heart that I made the right choice!!! ;)
Plus, I don't go through as many front tires as they do either!!:cool:

One might think changing a Spyder RT battery is a bit of a pain. The Gold Wing battery is located deep in the middle of the bike and many parts have to be removed to replace it. Reverse is an electric motor and very SLOW.
 
I had a C3 too. But I got married and it needed to go. That's the way these things seem to happen.

Now I enjoy my Spyder.
