• 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.

Problem with Wife and Spyder

[FONT=&quot]I was a sport bike rider when I was 20-24. Quit riding when I went overseas for the military and met my wife. For the past 13 years I was always looking at getting another bike. For 12.5 years she would stomp around and tell me "Nothing with 2 wheels anymore". I even went as far as to arrange a ride with a friend on the back of his HD just to get her interest sparked. Nothing worked, she would not even get on his HD. One day I was out on a business trip and saw a spyder. I knew I had to have one. One day when she was at work and I decided to go to the dealership about 45 minutes from my house. I took it for a test drive and completed all of the paper work, brought her home and parked her in the garage. When she got home I met her outside and opened the garage door. She was a little upset at first, but I just looked at her and said, "You said you did not care what I got as long as it did not have two wheels. This has three". She could not argue with me and she was amazed at the stability of this new thing in the garage. She got up on the passenger seat and lit up like a kid in a candy store. And now I cant keep her off of it. Yesterday I came home and found it warm sitting in the garage. Come to find out she took it out for a run around the neighborhood during her lunch break. Now keep in mind she does not have her endorsement here in NC or a permit. Guess she has been bitten by the spyder. We are also looking now into getting her a ST.[/FONT]

Spyder and the wife

Sooo what's her handle gona be and when are you getting her her OWN spyder!!???:roflblack::welcome::ohyea::popcorn::popcorn: Why don't ya give her yours??( I will make the wild assumption THAT AIN'T GONA HAPPEN!!!):roflblack::roflblack::congrats:
 
You are LUCKY

I'm still trying to get my wife on my RT. Told her today I would buy another pair:yes: of handcuffs and cuff her up on the back. She doesn't think I'm very funny. I need another pair of cuffs for my duty belt anyway. I still have Harleys but the RT is a real hoot to drive. I think I will sell one.:yikes:
 
From the talks tonight we are thinking we may wait until she retires from the USMC. It is only 18 months so it will give us some time to save up for another one. She was supposed to go to spyderfest with me but duty called and she cant make it. We are working on getting her and myself to the owners event since it is pretty much in our back yard. Hopefully when she sees all of the nice spyders she will move quicker. :yes:
 
Sounds like a familiar story...

This is exactly how the :spyder2: infestation starts. You bring one home and the wife gets on, has some fun on a motorcycle (wind in face, adrenaline, smells nature, sees America, etc.) and gets bitten by the :spyder2: and then gets the idea that she is just as deserving as you (doesn’t really fully trust you anyway) and informs you that she wants her own :spyder2: but will wait for a bit before buying one and the next thing you know you are at a dealership signing for the second :yikes: :spyder2:. That’s when the real fun begins! Well, actually half the fun is getting bit and enjoying the sleepless nights of researching the best place to buy and which color and mods to get. (FYI: The search and procurement of mods never goes away) Your life will never be the same again...get ready!!!

Been there, done that and have the T-shirt....but lovin’ every minute of it. See you at BRP in June.:yes:
 
:agree: Didn't realize "We" needed another :spyder2: until I came home late one Friday Night. She took the RT & went ryding with our "Friends".

Since I was late, they went without me:gaah:. About 2 hours later they all came back to our house to finish the night with a party! Now I don't have to have anyone wait for me. Gave her the 2011 & bought myself a 2012 !!:b2b::doorag:

By all means go to Owners event. Spyderfeast is great. Ride a lot.
On a somber note. I believe in live for today, who knows what will happen tomorrow. Suggest you look into the Patriot Guard. Thank her for her service since you mentioned she was in the USMC.

Hope to see you both at the Owners event in Maggie. If we could afford two Spyders we definitely would have another. My wife loves it.
