• 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.

    My First 'Mods' (yay!)

    I almost feel bad, I love the stock look of the :spyder2: (okay, put 'stock' in quotes since mines a phantom!) But after having put 5k miles on it (yay!). I realized there was a few things I could really use. Trunk popper - very simple, got it off ebay, gotta be the best 10 bucks and 10 min...

    How many of are there?

    I'm going on about 5000, so I've got a ways to get yet. I'm in Columbus BTW (between Madison and Fon Du Lac). Haven't seen many other Ryders around me yet!

    RS Sadlebag options

    I've been looking around for bags as well, for my phantom, and i decided on the Corbin ones (in Matte Black! :2thumbs:). They probably aren't as easily removed as the BRP ones, but I really like the amount of space they have, and the look and the flow they have on the back of the bike (rather...

    Summer Mesh Jackets --Pros/Cons

    I got asked if my gear was hot at least 5 times the other day when i went out shopping for supplies to fix the seat cowl (Thanks to everyone on this forum, its great to be able to find info like that so easily!). I mean, sitting at a stop light, yeah, it gets warm, but so would anything else, i...

    What do/did you do for a living?

    Well, I wish I was retired ;)! But for now, I work as a Structural Engineer designing Fire Training Buildings for Fire Departments and the Military. Hoping that by the end of the year I'll be able to put P.E. (Professional Engineer) on the back of my name!

    2009 Motorcycle Tax Deduction: Dont forget

    Well, since i bought my spyder a few months ago, i wanted to look into this deduction a bit more, found this on the IRS's website. http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=211310,00.html According to that, you must be the first owner of the vehicle, and they say something about fee's and...

    How old were you when you bought your spyder? what are your thoughts on it?

    Well, I knew I had to be one of the younger Spyder Ryders out there being 25. It's my first bike, never even sat on one until I took the class. Which I took after seeing a Spyder in my hometown of Sheboygan- I just HAD to have one! And its probably the most fun toy I own! Hoping to have many...

    Disc'd by your riding buddies

    It's a weird phenomenon indeed. I've got 2 friends that wanna start riding with me, one has a Cruiser, the other a Sports bike, and then me with the Spyder. The friend with the sports bike is freaking out that we are going to be the laughing stock of any event we go to, Especially in...

    Out of Sight, Out of Mind

    Honestly, I enjoy answering questions about my bike when I stop places. Actually, that's part of the fun! I've found, if I really do need to get going, doing something subtle like putting on and tightening your helmet and gloves. Most people will get the hint and will wrap up the conversation.

    Batman riding suit

    I don't know if you noticed Doc, but they've extended the sale on it, probably lots of people like us worried about how geeky it might be! P.S. Hell, go for it, I just did! My bikes probably going to have to hibernate for the WI winter soon, so hopefully when I can bring it back out I'll have...

    Owners without problems - Rollcall

    I've only had my 2009 Phantom Spyder for about 2 months, got around 1400 miles on it, but, it was still in the box when i bought it, so it had all the updates installed, and I haven't had any problems at all! (knock on wood)!

    New to Spyder

    Me Too! :congrats:welcome Alright! I knew i couldn't be the only person whose first bike was a Phantom :spyder2:! Everyone here can give you better suggestions than I (since I'm just as new as you are!) But they are definitely right, a Safety Class would be a bright idea. Here in WI, taking...

    Batman riding suit

    I hear ya on the boots, I mean, I have boots that I'm using, but I'd like to get a nice pair. I'm going to email them to see when the boots are going to be available, and depending on how much the whole thing costs (really don't have a point of reference since I'm a noobie to riding!) we'll...

    Batman riding suit

    I want one too! I've had just about every person that sees my spyder (since its a phantom) say it looks like something batman would drive! But come on, minus the Geek factor, you KNOW it would look awesome!
