• 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.

How many Spyder Ryders are Retirees? How long and from What?

Wife received her kidney July 31, 2007. She did peritoneal dialysis for 18 months.
My Kathy (Her real nAme; this is serious...), was very fortunate to only do hemodialysis for six Months. when she was first diagnosed, and her GFR was only 8%; her best friend got tested, and was almost a perfect match!
She was a VERY lucky lady, and every day feels just like Christmas! :yes:

Enjoying my retirement everyday.

Sold my business of 25 years (Mfg Rep in process control instrumentation) and went to work at The Home Depot for the benefits I still needed. Retired from there in Sept 14. Bought the Spyder in Dec 14 and ryding the tires off of it.:yes:
 
Retired from the USPS in 2007. After vegetating for 4 years I went back to work for a local casino. After 3.5 years walking the floor as a slot attendant I was accepted in Accounting as a Revenue Auditor. 32 years after getting a degree in Business I am finally using it. 71 years young and rolling. Have owned a 2008 GS SE5, traded on a Silver 2010RT SM5, traded on White 2014 RTS SE6. No plans for another retirement. Work till I die, I guess, but better that way than constricted to a house waiting to die. I don't hunt, fish, golf, etc., not because I can't, I don't want to. Work to ride and ride to work.

I retired both from the Navy and DOD a little over three years ago after 40 years, five months, 17 days and 5 hours...not that I was counting. I've been riding street bikes since 1968.
 
Retired gut still working

I retired from the US Coast Guard in 1994 after 23 years. But since uncle sam does not pay that much I am still employed. The light is at the end of the tunnel though only a few more years and I will just be riding the spyder.

HISTORY

:hun:...I don't know if I'm retired ?.....Very early on did a stint as with the NY Tel Co...then a NYC horse cop...onto a Vermont cop...now I drive part time for a physically challenged woman.........Now I live for my Spyder.....:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:.........Mike
 
I thought I worked 'Full Time' until I retired in 03. Now I have learned the true meaning of working FULL TIME!

These days I just do 2 things. Work and Sleep. (Sleep appears to be optional at this point).

With that in mind I don't think we will have to worry about being employed again Jerry.:joke: Not sure anyone would catch that.;)
