• 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.

STABLE MATS

Here is something I thought some of you Spyder riders would be interested in. I park my Spyder in my garage which has a concrete floor. Several years ago my wife got out of the horse business and decided to sell her stable mats. I kept two and park my Spyder on them. The mats are 4' x 6' and 5/8" thick rubber. They are impervious to gasoline, oil, brake fluid, anti freeze, etc. Also, this keeps my wheels off the concrete. They can be purchased at Tractor Supply or at various feed and seed stores. p.s. Can anyone straighten my photos?

Bummer...

My garage was carpeted before I bought it but they ripped it up :banghead: would be nice but the "Jag" seldom sets more than a few days....Is a great idea though...:thumbup:
 
I use them

I have an carport without a floor, I use the stall mats to park my spyder off the ground, they work great.

Watch Craigslist free stuff, there is carpet there all of the time, I put it on both my garage floors, makes working on anything easier, especially getting up and down.
 
Curiosity?

I am curious why is it a bad idea to place the tires on concrete? I am new at a bikes, but I am also curious about the concept with a mat or carpet vs concrete floor?

Nothing wrong with it. If you're going to store a bike long-term, the mats could help prevent the tires from getting flat spots from sitting too long. I like to have a mat under mine while I am working on it so if I drop a screw or a part, its not hitting a concrete floor. I also like it because my kids know to stay away from that area in the garage.
 
I got mine at Harbor Freight 7.99 for 4 mats. Got 3 sets so when working on bike it's softer than cement.
