• 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.

Dumb Question Regarding Spyder Rally's

I am new to the Spyder platform. Have been riding HDs for several years and decided to make the switch. Since the switch, I do not know anyone else who rides 3-Wheel cycles and I find myself riding alone. How many people show up at rally's riding solo? Do most people go with friends who ride? Just wondering. I would like to attend a few rally's this next season, but don't want to be "that guy.) :yikes:
 
This is actually a VERY good question! :clap:
If you look at the event as a place to meet new best friends; you'll have the time of your life!! :thumbup:
 
My wife and I rode to Spyders in the Redwoods alone and met several good people there. You wouldn't have to be alone once you are there. As a disclaimer I did know a couple of people there but we arrived at different times by different routes. We didn't hang out with those people because they were busy. (Vendors). Met a lot of folks off this site so it was fun to put faces to name. Go. You will have a good time, but only if you want to have a good time.
 
I showed up solo....

to Spyders in the Smokies. Rode my own rides camped on a mountain and met some awesome spyder ryding people.

Rode 1,800 miles solo round trip to Spyderfest and met great folks at all the events I attended there. The best was an impromptu lunch bunch at vendor village. It was a new and fun event for me and I'm looking forward to 2016.
 
First of all, there is no such thing as a dumb question.................... only dumb answers.

Second, you are right, I've made friends at the Spyder rallies and we sometimes ride together.

This site is also an excellent way to connect with other riders. Check out the following link:

You can post a welcome there and see if you can find other people near you who would like to ride.
 
When I attended SpyderFest 2013; I rode out in a large group of Spyders. :clap:
We had a lot of fun getting there together, but the group split up at that point, and we were on our own.
And I was lucky enough to make friends with some REALLY good folks, and I now consider them to be some of the best friends that I have! nojoke
 
I too am an ex-Harley rider, not by choice, but it's just one of those things. My wife and I went to a Spyder get together at Spyder Comfort in Edgewater for Biketoberfest, by ourselves, and when we left that night to head for home, we had a nice group of new friends. Don't worry about being 'that' guy, just ride where you want, and there are going to be many people that are going to come up to you and ask about your ride. Enjoy the Spyder, and the new people you are going to meet. Believe me, I haven't met a poisser on a Spyder, just nice folks.

Rallies are a great way to get together with like minded people. You will surely meet some great people in the process.
 
SPYDERFEST

My friend and I rode our Spyders out to Spyderfest this spring, done about 1600 mi. This was my first rally and I had a ball, made a lot of new friends and had a great time. It was well planned and everything went smooth, you won't be a stranger very long..

How far are you from Knoxville,TN ?
 
I don't know where in VA you are located but there is a Spyder Ryder of America -Old Dominion Chapter. I sure hope you attend some of the events I know you will have a great time. I have friends around the world from the Spyder community.
 
My first rally was Spyderfest 13. I went by myself didn't know anyone out there and I met some wonderful lifelong friends. I had the time of my life. The MoGang group is such a positive group and make you feel welcome. All the Spyders events that I have attended have been great. So if you come alone you won't be alone for long.

My next scheduled event is Spyders on the Bayou March 16, 2016

I met many new friends at Spyderfest this past spring, but sadly I don't remember who! When I meet them again next year, they'll be new friends again! :roflblack: One of the impacts of the aging process is that old friends are always new friends! :ohyea:

Sad but true for a lot of us.

You'd be surprised at the people you meet at rallies. You sit at a table and the next thing you know your talking to complete strangers. By the end of the meal or get together they are no longer strangers but new friends with whom you are exchanging experiences or ideas or knowledge. I once met a couple in New York and started talking Spyders. Next thing I new was that they lived 10 miles from me here in Maine. If it wasn't for my Spyder we would have walked past each other. It's a small world out there and there are millions of people to meet. See you at Spyderfest the friend maker rally.:2thumbs::2thumbs:
