• 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.

2012 RS S Orange or Magnesium???

Kratos

Ultimate Spyderlover
Having a tough time between colors of the RS S. I like both the orange and the magnesium. I've looked at both and I can't make a decision. LOL. Anyone got pics that I can stare at while I'm at work? LOL It'll help passs the time...:)
 
Magnesium

All three look great, I'd choose the magnesium just because I see more greens and oranges. Also I think the magnesium has a more universal appeal, both green and orange seem to evoke either a love it or .....not so much reaction with people I've talked to. Of course you're the one who'll be riding it so your's is the only opinion that really counts.

Wow, that's the exact thoughts I was having.....orange being "risky" and magnesium being "safe".

My mistake about the magnesium, but orange is still not a 2012 color. :thumbup: Yours is red.
 
This will be my first on-road open air vehicle I've ever driven. I have never ridden a motorcycle (was always scared of the 2 wheels). The Spyder has opened up a whole new world to people who will never get on a 2 wheel. I have no clue how to ride this thing (twist throttle control....yeah this is gonna be fun when I take it off the trailor, LOL).

I think I'm gonna just put-put down my private road real slow until I learn how to drive it. I hope it doesn't take me weeks to learn how to control it.....LOL. Definately not getting on the public roads until I'm very comfortable with it. I'm gonna ask the dealer if maybe he can give me a crash course or something when I go buy it Friday....
