• 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.

Hi guys ,
I have been lurking around this fantastic site for some time now , so thought I better sign in and introduce myself .
My name is Mike , I live in the UK , Beverley , East Yorkshire .
I am between bikes at the moment having just crashed my beloved Triumph Tiger 1050 SE headon into a Renault Clio turning right between parked cars , the old S.M.I.D.S.Y. excuse .
As a result I have lots of time on my hands to research my next ride .
The crash left me with a smashed pelvis , broken wrist , and nerve damage to my right leg resulting in 'drop foot' , I am confined to a wheel chair at the moment but by the end of this month I should be able to start walking again , I hope.
I always said that if I ever had a big 'off' I would give up bikes and maybe go for the kit car type of thing , Lotus 7 style , but then I noticed the Spyder , wow ! Best of both worlds , so I am going to sell everything I can get my hands on and buy one as soon as possible .
I love the look of the RS , manual gear change model in red and black so far but I will have to wait and see what is available when I am in a position to purchase one of these amazing machines.

Mike.:2excited:

Welcome aboard. Sounds like you're a perfect candidate for the Spyder. Alot of us have had to move on from 2 wheels for a variety of reasons.
 
Welcome

Glad to hear you will be out of the chair and back on your own two... Hope you get the red/black rs soon, mine is black and we love it :welcome:
 
Welcom aboard
