• 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.

Soon to be newbie.

Hello everyone,
I been looking at the spyder now since March. Up till August, I have had mostly sportbikes. 750 katana, zx1100, 78 Goldwing, and lastly fzr600. Unfortunately in Aug I was hit by a ranger pickup on my way home from work. Bike was totaled, fractured a bone in my knee and tore a tendon in my shoulder (all on the right side). Nice patch of road rash on my shoulder, and swollen rotator cuff. All healing nicely..
This has pushed me even more to the Spyder. I been sneaking through the forum and other forums to gather more info. I have to say this forum is alive, I've been on some dead ones, lol..

So Im looking at a 2012 RS-S sm5, but Im going to hold off till I see what the 13's bring.. :shocked:

What ever I get I will post pics, and probably asking questions... :ani29:
