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.

I am already a member of there. I just figured there were probably more. I'm new to the Spyder scene. I just bought my 2010 RT-S 3 weeks ago...

We (I) like the Charlotte area and I'm wondering about how many months during the year you can ryde your Spyder down there? We've been there several times in late March and early April and I thought the weather was great compared to what is like up here in NW Ohio for riding. What about the rest of the year. With 12" of snow in my drive right now Sun City Carolina Lakes community (actually in SC) sounds pretty good at the moment. I've also thought about the Asheville/Fletcher area since it's in the Smokies.

We've been able to ride every month for the past year, We have been experiencing some really unusual weather during the past several months. The week days have been really bad with rain, snow and ice, but he weekends have been great and we normally get at least 1 day during the weekend that is great for riding. We live just north of Charlotte.

Up in Mooresville, NC
Just joined the site and still working my way around it trying to learn where everything is and what to look for. We have a 2014 RT Limited we bought a few months ago. Pic. included. Look forward to getting to know some folks on here and meeting up with some at the events that occur.

Issues
Have you had any issues with your front trunk (Frunk) leaking when washing your bike? How about the fuel and temperature gages getting water in them also? I have one exactly like yours, same color and model, and I washed it Last Saturday (a week ago) and noticed the gages with water droplets on the inside glass. I opened the front trunk and it had about 2 inches of water in it. I only used a hose to rinse it with and didn't even use the stream setting. It is back at the dealer now and the technician is telling me he may have to rebuild the entire front box!!!!!!!! The gages cleared up, so that tells me they weren't sealed to begin with. I had a Harley Davidson Ultra Classic prior to this bike. I had to sell it because of back surgery, but I never had the issues with it that I'm having with the Can Am. Seems to me it is built a little cheap for the price. Lots of plastic and tabs to hold things together instead of screws or bolts. Just my observations. I really like riding the spyder. I put a back rest on it and touring pegs which have allowed me to ride without it killing my back. For that, I can tolerate the issues as long as they don't become a habit. :gaah:

Beautiful day to ride. Hard to ride mine sitting in the shop. Hopefully they will get it squared away. Then the weather will turn cold.

Anyone heard about a rally for Spyder Riders at Myrtle Beach around May 2nd of 2015? I've read a few post on other forums that it was planned and then it was unplanned and then planned again. Didn't say specifically where at Myrtle Beach. I know the Harley Rally is typically around the middle of the month down at Murrels Inlet area.
