• 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.

Spyders in the smokies pictures

Hard to say
From near zero to nanny limited.
I was averaging about 40 in the corners with the nanny whinning way too much and a bit faster in the tiny straights well I guess you could call them straights.

I did learn a couple tricks to shut the nanny up a bit

1- put an Arizona ice tea lid under the pillion switch so I'm always carrying a passenger ;)

2- carry plenty of speed into the apex and when you turn in leave your foot on the brake enough to keep the brake light switch engaged , a kinda imaginary trail braking thing it seems nanny is hesitant to tap a brake for you if you already are braking :ohyea:

I discovered that technique a while back, but didn't really analyze the whys or wherefores. I never thought I was actually trail braking with enough braking force to do much good (although the Spyder seems to like it along with a little throttle at the same time). Thanks for an explanation that makes some sense.
 
I found it hard to get my foot on the brake when doing a left twisty because I'm hanging off the other side like a monkey !
 
Those are some good pictures, thanks for sharing them.

It was a great time running The Dragon with you as well. From the looks of the photos of us on US129 Photos, I need some suspension assistance as I have a serious rolling compression issue on the right front.

:agree:

This is definitely telling me I need some suspension improvements on my Spyder. :thumbup: Plus, you can't see it very well in the picture but the inside of my right front tire is completely bald now. Whatever tread it had left on it before heading to TN was left on The Dragon. :shocked:
 
I left some there too the flame imprints on my tires are gone now
But the wear is even and the tires are really soft
