:agree: That'll ruin THEIR day!

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.
Anyone else get riled about two wheelers dumping on Trikes?

Get disrespected all the time I also have a Harley, so I have to laugh I see them as people who are curious and really want to try the Spyder.... I can see it in their faces. I see the same people when I'm on the Harley so I give a little pay back.
Gotta learn to be nice how do you know I may be disabled... now what you've become a schmuck

It is in some states. You can ride one with a three wheel, only, endorsement.

Motorcyclists have always been something of an 'endangered species'.
Problem is that they do it to themselves!
Way back after I had tired of repairing my old Norton at the side of the road
I bought a new Z1000 or as several of my Brit bike owning friends called it
The Krapazappy! I rode it hard for 80,000miles and it never let me down!
Many of those same friends went on to get Guzzis, BMWs and even Hondas.
Where was I? Yeah! We're all bikers. Whether we ride Harley, Wings, Ducatis
whatever. Joe Public couldn't tell the difference between many of them. So WHY
do bikers have to be so anal as to suggest that because they ride a certain brand
they are better than those who ride a different brand? Peer pressure is responsible
for much of it, the riding groups do tend to be dominated by one brand or style of
bike but they're all on 2 wheels!
Even bike cops over here give me a friendly nod if I give them a short wave! I even got the 'boot'
from a sport bike rider the other day as he passed me! (The 'boot' is the race-boys form
of acknowledgement and consists of the left boot being held out as they pass.)
So I give a greeting to all bikes, trikes, all makes, Either a wave or a nod.
The ones that choose to ignore me have a problem!

I'M NOT A POSER
I look at it this way - if I were to check the bikes of the people that diss me, I'd bet most don't have near the mileage I have on mine! :clap::clap::clap: Yep, I'm the girl that hears "You back again already?" from my service tech when I come in for oil changes. :spyder2::2thumbs:
I only get mad when I get dissed by a woman who only rides on the back of her man's ride. That makes me :cus:!

Thanks to the OP for the ADV rider view-- don't get many of those folks around these parts!
My thoughts:
1. Fun is fun is fun. There are many roads one can take to having fun while riding. There is no "right" way to ride. Two wheel motorcycles, three wheel trikes and hacks, four wheel ATVs, no-wheel sleds & jetskis... if they bring a smile to YOUR face, that's all that matters.
2. That said, yeah, I recognize the "cool" factor is a part of human nature. I would be lying if I said I've never felt self-conscious on the Spyder, or maybe a smidge defensive when talking about it in person, or in other bike forums. I admit that I'm probably too quick to retort how I know how to ride two wheels as well, as if I need to prove my bona fides to "real" bikers before praising the Spyder.
I just try to be positive wherever possible-- no need to denigrate anyone else's riding choice when I can be a smiling evangelist for the unique joys of riding a Spyder.
3. Sorry Ron, liver and onions are just :cus: wrong, man. That's objective fact! :joke:
