    Default Yes there are some geniuses here...

    As I was a bit bored on this cold morning in Indiana, I thought I wouldn review all of my past posts and related responses on this forum for kicks and giggles.


    Based upon my review of all of the responses received, I could not help but smile and be comforted that there are so many geniuses on this form. You guys and gals have given me a lot of good advice over the last 3 years.

    All I can say is that i'm grateful and quite impressed!

    SpyderUSA, I agree 100%. I think I would probably not still own my Spyder had I not stumbled upon this forum and gleaned a lot of information and advice. I bought my Spyder used and it was very poorly set up. Bad shocks, bad tires, incorrect belt tension and alignment, poor wheel alignment...... The handling was horrable. I suspected there was something not right with the bike from the get-go, but didn't know what or where to start. The good people on this forum helped me work through the problems, one by one until, now, I have a bike I am very happy with. I will, and have, passed on lessons learned here. That is what makes this such a valuable resource. And besides that, I have come to "know" many here on the forum. There is also some good "brotherly" and "sisterly" light hearted ribbing that adds to our enjoyment. ...... Jim

    This forum has been a great place to hang out in; ever since Lamont started it.
    If you've got a question about your bike, accessories, trends in the industry, places to ride, or (Heaven forbid!): if you've got a problem... This is the place to sort things out!

    But you also meet the nicest folks in here also!

    I lurked on this site for months before actually buying my Spyder, I felt much better prepared once I started ryding.

    But one of the best feelings has to be searching for a problem, and finding that post where someone had the exact same issue (and solution)!

    That alone makes this site worth it for any Spyder owner.
