• 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.

Closest Spyder neighbors?

Which two Spyder owners live the closest to each other, are not related, met after they got their Spyders, but met because of their Spyders?

I'll start: GaryTheBadger and Curly = 4.0 miles
 
MoLee & Bumblebee 4.28 miles Xpeschon is closer however we knew each other before the Spyder.
One even closer but I can't remember his handle.

Its only 5 miles to the Interstate and then it is only about 10 miles to Wbbn1952, so I guess I'm way out. we are 10 miles south of town, so everyride is a nice ride. just going to work.

I've got to win this one: me and Spyderflyer. He lives about 200-300 yards from me. He bought his after me but has more miles than me (and more mods). BUT I have the first Spyder in Barstow, the first SE5 in the High Desert, and at the time, one of the few red Spyders. Since then, a few more have been seen in town although I haven't met them yet.

Oh, his wife (I hadn't met them before this occasion) saw my trike at the community mailbox and said how her husband wanted one. So I took it to their home for him to look at. He was sold.

We've yet to meet but Doc lives pretty close to me, as does someone who owns a yellow Spyder that I've seen a couple times. Next time we have a Wed. night without rain I'll go to the big bike event at Quaker Steak to see if there are any other owners in my neighborhood.
 
Interesting topic--- has to be someone we never met before-- so most direct neighbors would be ruled out--- and if they bought a spyder because they saw yours-- you would have met them before they bought it--- so that doesn't count-- right?

Also assuming NOT as the crow flies?

I live 7 miles from Scotty---- but my shop where the Spyder lives is 2.5 miles.....

Yep, we even picked up the PE Spyders the same day.

Hey, can I count Nancy? :roflblack: We keep our Spyders in different buildings. That should count for something...LOL. :joke:

Ditto here. My neighbor has on 09 Red/black RS. He lives two houses down. He bought his first and "teased" me by letting me ride his. Two months after driving his, I bought mine. It's an 09 black/silver RS. We both work crazy shift work, and have only gotten to ride together twice. We sure turn heads when we ride together.

Doh!I lose. Wait a minute, 2 houses down in Arkansas could be a half mile.

So Scotty does that mean on the day you got your spyders - you weren't speaking to one another.:D
 
I guess I lose this contest, as the closest Spyder to me that I am aware of is over 30 minutes away at 60 mph. Then again, my nearest neighbor is nearly a 1/2 mile down the road as well. :D
