• 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.

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    You couldn't be more correct about the "wow" factor. My wife and I have had the Spyder and the MP3 both at several rallies, local events, shows. The reaction is always the same - "wow, awesome, etc. on the Spyder", and "OH, it has 3 wheels too" on the MP3 500". So if you looking for unique...

Comparison: Spyder / MP3 500 Cost $15,499 / $8899 MPG 35 / 55 Performance outstanding / good even on Interstate...

    'Still no Spyder - another couple of weeks! Wife is ready to head out for a trip!!!

    Check out the Nelson Riggs line of bags. I have their small round bag on the rack of my scooter - was $49.00 & included rain cover. I think their quality is as good as Cortech, and a little less money.

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    GIVI makes one but I wasn't impressed with it. It's fairly large so that may be what you saw. Piaggio makes a factory shield, but its got lots of mounting hardware and doesn't really provide full protection in rain. It's also pretty short, and I think you'd get some helmet buffeting with it.

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    I'm a "Spyder Spouse". However, after several rides on my wife's Spyder, I chose a different route. I purchased a Piaggio MP3 500 scooter. See www.piaggiousa.com if you aren't familiar with it. Although, also a 3-wheeler, the approach is entirely different. Two front wheels are articulated...

Her bike is a stock...

    Spyder Financing

    Call around to your local area credit unions. Regulations regarding who can join have broadened considerably in last 5 years or so. If you have good credit, and especially with a substantial down, you may find them your best source.
