• 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 back!

    I'm pretty sure no one knew I was gone though. I tore my knee up last year playing pickleball and missed most of the riding season. I tore my other knee up this year playing pickleball again. I gave it a go today and I was able to get on and off without a problem. I think I'll give up pickleball!

    What Spyder goodie did Santa bring you for Christmas.

    Just mentioned to my better half a couple of weeks ago my Spyder needed a battery charger / trickle charger and low and behold Santa brought me one! Since the Black and Decker charger comes with a cigarette lighter plug I changed the position of the fuse in the frunk plugged the charger into...

    Farkle Ideas?

    Sold the Florida home last spring. I wanted to keep it but the wife couldn't stand being away from the kids and grandkids for 5 months a year. We voted on selling it, and since she always wins on ties, we sold it. So here I'll be in Ontario NY (AKA the frozen tundra) for the winter. I just...

    A Sad Day!

    A sad day. We sold our Florida home so there she will sit for the winter. I'm not talking about the lawn tractor. I guess I'll have more time for my other toy.

    Still upset about Spyderquest

    A few months back I was all pumped up about going to Spyderquest. I was anxious to meet some of the participants of this forum. I made reservations at the host hotel. Within 30 minutes I realized it was the same weekend as my 50 year high school reunion. Reservations cancelled. Now that it's...

    Finally received the warranty with bonus.

    I purchased our 2014 RT towards the end of April. It was the day I stopped by the dealer to make an appointment for our 2010 for its inspection and they talked me into test riding the 2014 RT. The inspection cost 15k! There was a promotion on the new RT for a one year extended BEST warranty...

    Is it just me?

    I don't visit Spydetlovers every day. When I do check the posts the most common subject seems to be the addition of a new 2014 RT owner. Is it just me or has there been an overwhelming response to the new RT? Does anyone have access to sales figures by year? I'd be interested in seeing that...

    Don't, Don't, Don't let the week go by without JELL-O!

    75 degrees with only a slight breeze and bright sunshine. A great 120 mile ride on back roads. Who would have guessed there is a JELLO museum?

    Anyone else having connection problems?

    For the last couple of days it's been like a crap shoot for me trying to connect to spyderlovers. Is anyone else having a problem?

    Back from hospital. A long story.

    I'm home from the hospital. Spyderlovers community has been a major contributor in helping me through the situation. My wife told me on multiple occasions I was more concerned about the Spyder sitting in the parking lot of our fitness center than my own health. Thanks to GrumpyBob my concerns...

    In hospital need help

    Hello. I am in Rochester General Hospital and had to abandon my Spyder in a parking lot in Ontario, NY. Is there anyone in the area who could meet one of my kids at the lot and drive the Spyder 3 miles to my home?

    Never thought I would see this happen.

    We went on a great ride with our 2014 RT yesterday. Drove 122 miles on exactly 3 gallons of gas for over 40 mpg. Having driven my 2010 Rt for 4 years I never thought I would see this happen, especially riding two up. I'm happy with the performance in the "ECO" mode so I think I'll keep it on...

    New owner of a 2014 RT limited!

    Wife and I picked up the new 2014 RT Limited today. Drove her to the grocery store and home, beating the rain. Total was only about 25 miles. It doesn't take long to appreciate the differences from our traded in 2010. The most noticeable are the lack of vibration, heat, and engine noise. It...

    Not thinking about it any more...bought it!

    As I posted previously, last week while out on a ride I on my 2010 RT I couldn't stop thinking about about a 2014 RT limited. With the wife's blessing, today I traded in the 2010 for a new 2014 RT Limited, black/currant. I pick it up on Thursday. Received more than I expected for the trade in...

    Sh*t...I can't stop thing about it.

    Sh*t...I can't stop thinking about it. We finally had a nice day in upstate NY. I took our 2010 RT out for a nice ride through a lot of country roads. Instead of enjoying the scenery all I could think about was a new 2014 RT limited. She will absolutely kill me, even if I simply mention it...

    Accident

    While on a ride today with my wife's cousin and her husband, he pulled over to the side of the road to discuss our route. I stopped behind him applying the Spyder's parking brake but leaving it in first gear. Apparently the parking brake needs to be checked. My wife, not knowing the handle bar...

    Touch up Paint

    I have a 2010 blue RT with a couple of paint chips. Looking at the specs for my year the blue is listed as Orbital Blue. On touchupdirect.com it lists the 2010 blue as Quantum Blue (BRP007) and the 2011 blue as Orbital Blue (BRP014). Does anyone know which is correct for the 2010 RT. I...
