• 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.

Demographic of the typical Spyderlovers member

I am very fortunate.
I'm 60 and have been retired for 5 or 6 years.
Plus
So, I hope no one considers this a brag, it isn't or at least it isn't meant to be.






"I've decided that saving for the Nursing Home's benefit isn't why I worked my tush off before I retired. " Well said!! I am 60 and also retired 5 years ago. I would consider myself a 4, I guess. But I did finance my Spyder. :D I actually work part time to pay for my Spyder and the fuel. I am very blessed.
 
I think there's one missing between 3 an 4; call it 3a. Reaching retirement, but not much pocket change or discretionary income. :D Dale
 
I'm a 3

I'm definitely a 3 but without the pocket change. I'm retiring in January, have spent a lot of my pocket change on changing my GS in to a ST without knowing the ST was coming. About four years ago, when I was 65 I actually listened to the words of an old Jimmy Buffett song that said that I would rather die while I am living than live while I'm dead. So I said to myself, "Girl, you better start moving"and two weeks later bought my first motorcycle. Shortly afterwards I suffered a really serious thyroid problem. During recovery, I bought myself a beautiful RED 2009 GS Spyder and my feet haven't touched the ground since. It was used, but perfect. Am I rich, absolutely not, but am I happy, that's an understatement. With the emotional support of my kids and my partner, and my beautiful RED Spyder, Life is wonderful!
 
Well I'm a 4,been retired for 5yrs and doing OK,wife still working to pay for gas and farkles on our :spyder2:'s
 
i'm a 4. i retired from the army 18 years ago. i'm 58 and when i asked myself if i should buy my spyder i said......if not now, when?
 
47 (I'd call that middle aged), Married, no kids, and enough income and savings that the expense was well considered, as all of our significant expenses are, but not painful in any way.
