Seems to me that 90% of the complaints are comming from 10% of the people.
Still good odds to be keeping my Spyder

This is my first participating forum. I made mistakes at first, but as I became more accustomed to others' postings, I learned. I have been trashed a few times when pointing out obvious safety issues that could result from mods being done or done on the Spyder. But I firmly believe that I have the responsibility to point to someone, or anyone, what I see as a safety issue. Not doing so is failing my responsibility as a fellow Spyder rider. If just one rider benefits, then I have done the right thing. If someone's feelings are hurt when I do this, then I would rather hurt their feelings and point something out than tell them it looks great and lie. If anyone wants to call that being negative, so be it. If you ask for, you shall receive. I, like many others who are now riding Spyders, have been riding very many years (without any accident or moving violations). Am I good? No, I am just lucky and was able to learn from the many mistakes I have made without an accident. This forum has been a goldmine of information that has helped me to learn and understand my Spyder. I feel like I am not in the dark, as I have been with all the other bikes I have owned. The modern technology of the internet has opened doors to vast treasures of knowledge we had never before been able to acquire. Do I have something I don't like on this forum? Yes I do. I detest anyone coming on here and trashing the Spyder and BRP, etc., without owning a Spyder, and I will respond. If you haven't walked in our footsteps, get off our path! Happy Trails, Everyone!

The saying go's = A wise man learns from his mistakes.'' WRONG''
''A wise man learns from other's mistakes'' ' All knowledge is helpfull.
When you point out a safety mistake you made, you'll help somebody so
They don't repeat it.

Every board I've ever ran has had the same thing happen to it and in time it will be a forgotten memory. I'm going to focus of solutions to the problems rather than bashing the one toy that has held my attention for the last two years.
If you need to move on I understand but be sure to check back in a month or two.
GREAT!!!!! God bless Lamonster.
I ain't going anywhere, I'll be right here.

Thanks Bruce! And it's a good thing you didn't see my dark side - Yellinacha fits that bill perfectly when I'm mad

Tell me about it. (lol) It's like watching someone have a stroke, and a seizure all while suffering through VERY high bloodpressure.
And those eyes *shudder* like a REAAAAALLLY big fart got re routed.

I must say that avatar is distrubingly gruesome (a word derived from the original meaing 'To Shiver') which, in my case, is accurate.
