• 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.

Do you let anyone else drive your Spyder?

My insurance will cover anybody i let ride, But they must have a M/C licence. Like i said before I'll only let my Sons ride. To avoid problems when somebody ask to ride my Spyder i just tell them my insurance only covers me.
 
Not really a choice in Michigan---- we have no-fault insurance.
They tried to ram that down our throats several years ago and it didn't make it, thank you very much. There are few accidents that are "no-fault", that's a term generated by those at fault. But we now have "mandatory" insurance, yet we still pay for uninsured motorists on our policy...makes a lot of sense.I put over 50,000 miles( more when I was a service manager) a year on 12 different vehicles combined and have never caused an accident, I have been hit by several turkeys that didn't fully understand a red light or stop sign, yet I still have to carry the burden so that they can afford insurance as if they have a right to drive....sorry, I have several copies of the constitution and that's not listed anywhere.
If they allowed you to shoot a$$hole$ that drive ignorantly, or better yet actually make them pass a REAL driving test, everyone would be better off. So if someone crashes one of your vehicles because they are morons...that's "no-fault"? Yours or theirs...but everyone else pays the burden, ain't it grand.
Pretty much the way Health Insurance will go if the pinheads in DC have their way. It's not my fault I don't drive well, or take care of myself, I'm just a poor victim, yeah.. right.

:agree:In Jersey a lot of drivers use the 10 second rule at red lights = when it turns red you have 10 seconds more to run it! Stop signs are only put there so when you walk your dog he has something to pee on:gaah:

No fault insurance has good and bad. It's more expensive, but the medical coverage is awesome.

One bad thing is they put limits on how much you can get in damages (tort reform). While many think tort reform is a good thing--- it sucks when you're on the receiving end and being told your sons life is only worth $400K. :(

I agree better testing and more experience behind the wheel is a must in all states.:thumbup:
 
Wife lets me ride it all the time and even take it to Rallies to show everyone the great Spyder products that we have!!!:2thumbs:
 
Hate to be selfish, but those who know how much I care about my spyder shouldnt even think of asking to ride mine. One did ask anyway and hated to be rude, but told him, he would be better off riding at a dealers parking lot. Sorry.
 
If they have a few years of motorcycling under thier belts and parking lot only! my daughter would like a bike of her own so i may take her to a parking lot and try with me on the back just to be safe. Then if she gets her permit then msf coarse if she does this then i will buy her a spyder if she wants.
 
uhhhhh . . .

Lets see, my mechanic Joe has ridden mine and "Gus" from ESI. That is all. I am not one to loan out my Spyder for someone to take a test ryde on. Thats why the dealers have demo units..LOL

Yes, but you had to trailer it to Daytona and I did not see you out "playing" on it at all either. :D

I would have let you ryde mine if you needed a fix, but I think Evan was trying his best to keep you busy the entire time.
