• 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'm even more of a Spyder fan than I was before

    A familiar tale indeed. I'm a few months beyond my 80th birthday and can tell a similar story. Not too many years ago I sold my BMW K75S after two tip-overs requiring assistance to return to the upright position. Though I loved the machine it was both heavy and top heavy. My primary ride now...

    Any Spyder Shipping Recommendations - Maine to Texas?

    We're considering shipping one of our Spyders to our summer home in central Maine from our winter home in the San Antonio, Tx area and are in search of recommendations for reputable motorcycle/vehicle shipping companies. Speed of service is not essential because it usually takes us five days to...

    After owning 3, lack of dealer support is forcing me to give up on Spyders!

    Sorry to hear that your local situation is so unfortunate. But I must admit I'm more than a little impressed that at age 87 you can handle a Gold Wing. At a mere 80 years old, three wheels are more confidence inspiring than two wheels. Gone are the BMW Flying Brick and the Honda CTX700...

    2023 RT Side Luggage won't open any hints/help please?

    A very well explained and the photo is, as many say, worth a thousand words. Occam's razor is alive and well it appears. Sorry, I couldn't resist an obscure reference.

    FS: 2022 Spyder RT

    Sorry to hear that as well. Hopefully you'll sell your beautiful Spyder soon.

    Here's my Battery cover access upgrade.

    Elegantly simple solution. Well-done, and thank you.

    Rated-PG Getting Old

    I find myself agreeing with the person who said, "It's strange being the same age as old people."

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    In the greater San Antonio area going to Buc-ees can be pretty much an all-day affair - whether you plan it or not. And sometime that's predicated on the fact you can find a place to park. This super-size business seems to be a solution in search of a problem. And the problem turns out to be...

    Internet Searches on Spyderlovers not working - is this because of the Platform change?

    Do you mean links in members' posts?

    5 MOTORCYCLES THAT ARE NOTORIOUSLY EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN

    Perhaps part of the problem, if it's accurate to described it this way, is that those of us who are well into the senior citizen realm remember the days when machines were much simpler and straight forward (though not necessarily more reliable). In those bygone days both dealer/shop repair...

    2025 Planning 11th Memorial Trip to Central Texas (in memory of my wife)

    Where to begin? First, our winter home is in the town of Schertz between San Antonio and New Braunfels to the northeast. We've spent a good bit of time riding in the Hill Country and believe it's hard to go wrong no matter where you might go. Many of the towns in the Hill Country owe their...

    2025 Trip Planning - Maine Mostly

    Our summer home is on Moosehead Lake some 90 miles north-northwest of Bangor. My family has been in that area since 1887 so we're comfortable not being on the coast. That said, parts of coastal Maine striking and are worth visiting. Depending on the time of year (and the weather) some coastal...

    I THINK I WILL SUPPORT THIS!

    Absolutely. Bacon is, in fact, the most important of the food groups!
