• 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.

    South Florida Spyder Owners?

    The law did change.......... Years ago you just had to take the written, apparently if you had your endorsement before the law change you didn't have to take that class. I admit I did get something out of it but three hundred dollars is beyond ludicrous for it. Some good old boy buddy...

    Any advice to someone in the market for a spyder (new owner)

    sounds like you need that aftermarket handle bar extension I've read about. I agree on the different muscles comment. Just the hour I tried it out I was really whooped afterwards but that had a lot to do with paying so much attention to everything out of fear I'd run into something or hurt it...

    thank you!!!! All great info!!!! Thanks. Yes, harley uses foremost too for their bike insurance, Geico was insane even though I already have my truck through them...was going to be 400 a year when foremost came in under 200..don't know how Geico sells bike insurance at that rate. After...

    Any advice to someone in the market for a spyder (new owner)

    That does make sense...but why? Ok that makes sense about the power steering being electric but I guess I have to wonder why? Perhaps a fluid driven power steering would be a more complicated matter on a bike...I know cars have belts etc. and power steering pumps so maybe that's why. I was...

    Any threads with more price discussions? Thanks for that, private owned special edition phantom (means what? extra goodies? what's a phantom?) Very low miles. I hope he got his 12k price but that also makes it sound like a regular production unit with no goodies tacked on should be a whole...

    True yes that's true but when you get to have mcdonald's half the week to get it then cost becomes a big deal too. The lesser gas expenditure is going to help and you're right, a good dealership is important but sorry I don't think 12k for a bike that is worth more like 9 is worth that much...

    Where do you all hail from, don't mind going out of state for it Where are you all from? I'm in Florida, I know we are sometimes on the expensive side for some things. I know that Barneys down here is rip off land, supposedly do good work and the people are great but I'm not paying a premium...

    Any advice to someone in the market for a spyder (new owner)

    Yes I will be shopping around...probably do better with my own financing Yes I know about shopping around, the largest non-harley dealer around here is Barney's in St. Petersburg, which is where I test drove the one last friday. It's a 2009 with about 20k on it and they wanted around 12k with...

    I'm an old phart too, got my license at 46, dad had a bike, wish I still had it would have been a great starter bike (honda 175 enduro). The bad stuff always does get all the press...that's normal. I know there will always be some bad apples in the barrel...I just don't want to end up with one...

    Any advice to someone in the market for a spyder (new owner)

    power steering? It sure didn't feel like it, maybe I'm wrong Hmm well either I'm just not having a clue or the power steering wasn't working right on the one I test drove, it was very resistant when first starting, felt nothing like the power steering on my four wheels (car). I trust a...

    Any advice to someone in the market for a spyder (new owner)

    I've had my motorcycle endorsement for a year or so, after a couple of dumps in the dirt in my yard I think I'm convinced I need more than two wheels. I could go to a trike kit for my sporty..ah not convinced that's what I want. The spyders are very cool looking and I LOVE the reverse gear...

    Local kids messing with my Spyder

    cheap video camera + pitbull Isn't it nice when parents let their "progeny" run around and bother others because they haven't bothered to teach them any manners. Be careful with this one, in the not too distant past folks with any motorcycle could be "harboring an attractive nuisance" by just...
