• 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.

At least it's press

A little superficial but at least the spyder still gets some press
although I think can-am is missing out on a segment it needs to focus on
entry level
even Harley and Ducati have made a push for entry level "affordable" rides
while the spyder ditched the most affordable option it had
also I work with a lot of yountger "kids" and it seems they are less and less interested in getting into motorcycle as it is more complex and difficult and intimidating but they often like the look / aggressiveness of the spyder. Keep in mind kids just getting their license at 16 were 6 when the first spyders hit the road. They are growing up with a "this is normal" mentality as opposed to the aging population that thinks it's just a weird backwards motorcycle.

thats my off tangent rant
heres the fluff piece article it only goes surface deep at best

The opening pic and caption may be a little misleading " who doesn't like to do donuts" ? Maybe it's to convince the younger crowd Spyders might be fun ?
