• 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.

The Spyder's Have Landed--At Last

ARtraveler

R.I.P. Dwayne
At long last, our household goods finally arrived from Alaska.

The movers had our stuff for 70 days. Originally, they told us 4 to 6 weeks. So, about 28 days more than they said.

All three bikes were packed into a 26 ft van with the rest of our stuff.

The 2011 arrived with no visible damage.

The 2014 had the left mirror housing broken off and my Spyderpops light bar was only half functional. My auto insurance policy is supposed to cover the damage incurred while moving...so we will see about that.

The Vulcan also looks okay.

After 2 plus months sitting in two different vans...both started right up. Even I was not expecting that to happen.

Going to try to attach the mirror housing with good ol Duct tape. Will see how that works????? Did a 10 mile round trip to get fresh gas for both Spyders, and they seemed to drive okay. We are going to take a small ride today. Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!
 
post that to soon :yikes:. I hope it all works out OK. must be a relief to just be able to ride!

Congratulations! What is the mirror problem? Two screws hold the upper hanger. Replace hanger. Or, snap a picture of the mounting area and the mirror.
 
You must have had a bad case of MVA (moving van anxiety) during those overdue 28 days. So glad for you that the damages were easy fixes. I have heard some bad horror stories concerning movers.

System will not let me post pictures. The mirror mount is off both of the mounting areas. It appears the mounting posts, 1 big and 1 small will not snap into the area with the opening and two screws. They go in, but there is nothing to hold them. This makes the whole mirror unit movable and not tight.

I am guessing they tried to horse the Spyder to one side by pulling on the mirror mount.
 
Try this: swap a mirror from the other RT. If it goes on, you can determine what is broken.
