• 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 Journey Continues........ Riding with a Disability

    So it has been about 4 months since I picked up Peanut and I have to say, WOW! OK lets start with what I love about the Spyder RT vs the GS (I still love you Billie) and how it accommodates the MS, besides the ones already discussed: 1. Cruise control, OMG what a life saver, you have no idea...

    The Adventure Begins, Riding with MS!!!!!!! This is going to be long one......

    I was thinking that I would start this thread to help other people like me that have a physical limitation but want to ride and I will update this thread as I work towards finding my next Spyder, but let me start from the beginning: In 2010, I had this crazy idea that I could ride a motorcycle...

    Hello Spyder Lovers Family, Update for Bytemi and Little Bytemi

    Good Afternoon Spyder Lovers Family I have been gone so long, I'm sure most of you don't know me. The last two years have been very eventful. The last time I posted it was to let everyone know that we were selling Stealth Billie (by the way the truck bed liner held up great, never faded...

    Update on Bytemi and Little Bytemi

    First I want to say the truck bed liner looks as good today as it did, when I painted my Spyder! It is with a heavy heart that I post this message. As many of you know I have MS, but I've been missing for a while so maybe not. The MS Fatigue has gotten to the point that I no longer feel safe...

    Do You Carry a Gun When You Ride

    So I am curious, do you carry a gun when you ride? I have heard a number of horror stories about agressive buttheads that like to pick on Motorcyclist and I have personally experienced the "Harley" attitude and in one of them I felt my safety was in danger. There has been at least two...

    I almost made a big mistake and posted a fake Spyder for sale

    One of my co-workers came to me this morning and told me that he was selling his 2010 Can Am Spyder with 292 miles on it. I have been hearing about this Spyder for about 2 years, but I have never seen it. He never rode it into work because he did not have a motorcycle license. He said that he...

    Update on Bytemi and Little Bytemi (Antonia) :)

    I am sorry to worry everyone. My husband (who returned yesterday safely) has been gone and I have had a lot on my plate. I have Uveitis which is swelling and irritation of the Uvea, the middle layer of the eye. The uvea provides most of the blood supply to the retina. This is fairly common in...

    1 Year Anniversary with Billie

    It is hard to believe that a year ago I had never been on the front of a motorcycle. Now over 3,000 miles later I couldn't imagine not being on a Spyder. I just got Billie inspected and I heard comments "it's like a space ship!" and "can I take it for a ride to test the brakes". LOL Thank you...

    Riding on Code Red Heat Days

    I pay very close attention to weather every morning when deciding if I will ride. This is mainly to look out for rain and heat. Because of the MS, if it is too hot I can't ride. When I over heat, I start losing function. So this morning I took my daugher to camp on the Spyder because I...

    Update on my Daughter

    So my daughter has her first full therapy session last night without me or her step father in the room with her. The therapist said she listened and seemed to be taking everything seriously. Which is great news. We have spent the last week doing home therapy every night for 30 minutes. I...

    My Daughter and I had a practice ride

    I took my 8 year old daughter out on a practice ride yesterday. Her father told me that unless I get a back rest I have to keep her on roads that are under 35 MPH, so I moved her to day camp that is in my community so she can ride in the mornings and afternoons with me. I purchased a helmet...

    3 States Down maybe 4 is DC a state?

    OK, I have seen everyones maps in their signatures and this is in no way as impressive as some of the maps I have seen, but I made it to my third state (unless the District of Columbia counts, then it is 4) over the weekend.
