• 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.

Danica message to SpyderLovers

Now that would be fun to do, I couldn't make the 'fest so maybe this could be a consolation prize. :thumbup:

So..!!

ride along with me...where..?? Does she really ryde the spyder..?? Do any of the celebs ryde after the photo shoots and publicity..?? Or just another tool in the shed..?? Just wondering.....:dontknow:
 
What Spring? We went from Winter to Summer... a little Winter in between and back to Summer!
Maybe those rainy days that we got stormed might count as Spring...:(
 
I'd ride with her too! :2thumbs:
NOT because she's famous. If she's a rider looking for folks going in the same direction; that's all that it takes! :thumbup:
 
My friends Vespa dealership has a life-size Danica standup poster. It is now next to the Service Desk. for "safe keeping".

Can Am should make one.
 
I'd ride with her as long as she's in the back of the pack. Wait. That's where she usually is. <ducking>. Seriously, I would ride with her as long as we had an opportunity to stop and smell the roses. The question would be after this comment of mine whether she'd want to ride with me.

I think BRP made a mistake spending huge $$$ on Danica and Messier.

I'd much rather see real riders like we had with the Spyder Five.

And If you want a direct comparison,,
I'd bet a lot of money that Faran directly sold a lot more Spyders than Danica!!!!!

:agree: BRP almost seems to want to cater to the "celebrity market". :shocked:

They could be fishing in a MUCH Bigger Pond; by stressing the ability to, "set your worries on the curb, and point your nose into the breezes."

I'd back you on that bet... Faran's a whole lot more attractive, and she brought Spyders to folks like us! :2thumbs:

i agree 100%. the riders themselves sell way more spyders than these national ads ever will. the common folk on the spyder means more to most of us than some celebrity!:2thumbs:

You said a mouthful there Steve. I 100% agree with you that it is regular folks like us here that sell the roadster. I would also agree that Faran was a great spokesperson for the Spyder.

You've got my vote on that one.

I've got a buddy who knows Fred Rau very well (in fact he and I are going over to Americade and we'll see him there). So when my "problem" struck and I was being forced to give up my BMW 2 wheelers, it was Fred Rau who talked to me and got me interested in the Spyder. So, in a way, I know and trust Fred Rau not only from Spyders, but because I've followed his work for years. I've never met either of the two celebs they're using now (in fact I didn't even know who Messier was), so why should I trust them? I'm sure you guys can say the same about others in the Spyder 5 group. They were in the trenches with us :2thumbs: and were a tremendous sales force for Can Am.
