• 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.

what else is available

A standard trike and the Spyder are really apples and oranges. Just like my Suzuki M109R and the Spyder are apples and oranges too.

There really isn't anything else out there that is a true "Option" to the Spyder.

Of course if you are just talking transportation with 3 wheels then there are other vehicles that fit this definition. But they are night and day. From cornering to panic stops, I just don't think anyone could honestly compare a standard trike to the Spyder.

If you want to expand to any transportation that lets the wind blow through your hair we could add my M109R and a Corvette convertable to the list of "Available Options".

I am 100% in favor of everyone riding what they like best. I hope your new trike turns out to be exactly what you were looking for.

Still, can't help but think you may be riding along some day and see a Spyder going by and wonder if you make the right choice.
 
I think that is a redypS . . . . .

. . . . you should have a blast on it.

My big mental problem with trikes is that they always remind me of the old Ice Cream vendors. Some were bikes, some were motorcycles and had the freezer mounted over the two wheels.

So, whatever you do, do not paint it white! You will have a bunch of ice cream starved oldsters running after you.

But, :congrats:
It is a great looking ride.

Boy I think a lot of you need to take a deep breath and relax a bit. Granted its not a spyder, but it is a three wheeler. I and a lot of other people here own other bikes besides the spyder. Me included a BMW & a Yamaha. After all we are still all bikers right? Hope you enjoy your new Harley trike. Oh and its nice looking too.

:agree:
 
Enjoy your trike. Take it easy on the turns-two wheels on the back are not nearly as stable as two wheels on the front.
 
Listing our other toys is one thing - but listing what you bought instead of the Spyder is just strange.
 
Rode a Goldwing trike once, reminded me of a Buick convertible. Haven't found one yet that can keep up in the twisties.

looks awesome,what is it? :2thumbs:
 
I have done "things" on my spyder that I dont think can be done or anyone would want to do on a regular "trike". Its all in what YOU wanna do and what YOU like :2thumbs:
 
My first post with HDForums.com will be a photo of my Spyder....:roflblack:

Would this impress them more?!

Yep.

That's a Hemi.

(By Canadian Marcus Braun back in 2005, in response to a design competition with the theme "What would you put a Hemi in?" Other entrants were a merry-go-round, a snow blower, and a paper shredder. Braun's trike design won. Scotty and LittleJohn--stop drooling.)
