• 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.

I sold my 2010 RTS and trailer a while back with every intention of looking at a new RTS down the road. I have decided to "hang up the guns" with respect to Spyder ownership, and wanted to post a few comments about this forum and its members.


  • There are numerous people on this forum who will bend over backwards to share their wealth of technical knowledge about everything Spyder. On other forums, you always have "super gurus", but on this forum you not only have those sorts of brainiacs, you also have numerous jack and jill members who are not hesitant to contribute to a discussion with their take on things. This, to me, was definitely the primary reason I was an active participant in the forum when I owned a Spyder.


  • The amount of inflammatory posts, given the diversity of the membership, has always been kept to a minimum. Yes there are those who choose to talk openly about their personal beliefs and life predicaments, yet there appears to be a great tolerance by members to simply allow people to post whatever, within reason, without attacking people about these life opinions that they may have. That level of tolerance has been stretched on many occasions but the membership reigns these in and makes this site a wonderful forum about the joy and anguish of owning a three wheeled roadster.

I just wanted to sincerely thank all of those who have assisted me in working on my Spyder over the last few years. Your contributions to the knowledge base were invaluable to me and I am sure will prove valuable to all new Spyder owners in years to come. It has been a blast.

For those of you who are interested in why I chose to sell my Spyder, the answer is simple...TBC...

:joke:

I bought a Fiat 500 Cabriolet and a two wheeled Burgman 650 scooter.
 
Thank you for your honest and open comments. I, for one, would hope you still visit here. You are still family. If you don't, best wishes to you.
 
Sorry to see you go but thank you for your insight regarding this forum and it's members. :bowdown:

Enjoy Life :thumbup:

I have been wondering where you have been. It has been great meeting you on this forum and it was even better meeting you in person.
Take care and enjoy your new Car and scooter.
 
Nicely put..!!

your not leaving for you will still lurk about and welcome to chime in anytime. Having owned and ryden a roadster you have a lot you can still contribute. Do hope the Fiat and scooter fill the bill. Both great vehicles...see ya around..!! :thumbup:
 
It doesn't matter if you don't have a Spyder. I no longer own a Spyder, but I stay in this site for the friends I have made here. I frequent other sites for tech info about my GoldWing, but Spyderlovers will remain my "social site". You should give it some consideration too. :thumbup:

It was a pleasure meeting you in Spyderfest 2011 (one of my first real life Spyderlover member meets besides the Hooligans and FL Express:thumbup:). Don't be a stranger and you are always welcome to participate on the forums or on any :spyder2: event!

Good luck!
 
Thank You

Well I will be

78 next month and I have not figured out a way for me to "hang it up". In fact, I think the Spyder was brought in to extend my riding days after triple by-pass surgery. LOL
