• 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.

    Nah.. couldn't/wouldn't do that to BOB... I would pay for my own gas... :roflblack: But, seriously, if I can scare up a Sypder to rent, would love to ryde with some local folks. Any nearby rydes scheduled the first two weekends of May? Andy

    I'm an official Spyder Ryder

    I decided to play hookey and pick up my 2012 Spyder RT SE5 Limited today... A day early to beat the yucky rain predicted for Sat here in Dallas.. The pickup at the dealer went pretty smooth. The was one hiccup in that they had problems with the latch mechanism for the glove box even after...

    Uh oh, what have I gotten myself into...

    I can see that happening here. She had surgery this summer so I let her sleep on my side of the bed during her recovery because it is closer to the restroom... Now, it's HER side.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Thanks for all of the great info. :thumbup: Spyder Lovers is :firstplace:. I will certainly create my own "checklist" to use when I pick up my :spyder2: :2excited: If I'm lucky and the dealer is thorough, I may not have to ask any.

    Things to ask my dealer when I pick up my Spyder

    I've only test driven the Sypder around the big back lot at the dealer a couple of time since I didn't have my license. Seemed very intuitive to me shifting up to 2nd, back down to 1st, turning, braking, etc. Except for my MSF class three weeks ago, I don't have any 2-wheel experience to...

    I'm going to pick up my new 2012 Spyder RT Limited on Fri afternoon or Sat morning. Is there a list of items that I need to make sure that my dealer covers? Questions I should ask? I want to appear that I'm and educated consumer. :roflblack: Some of the questions are just to see if my...
