• 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.

From one great Spyder to another

I bought my first :spyder2: in '09 and fell in love with the bike. Thought I would never get rid of it. Well, today, I bit the bullet and traded her in. Rode a 2011 RT Limited home. Oh Yeah!!! Nice Ride! :clap:

I'll miss the sporty look and feel of that old girl, for sure. The RT Limited is a whole different feel and a world of its own. It sure handles differently and I am anxious to get it on the road tomorrow.

Can I ask where you found the USA map? I see it on many user profiles and would love to have it too.
 
Congrats

:congrats: on your Trade-Up. No doubt, same DNA but the RS/GS & the RT are two totally different beasts when it comes to comfort & handling, not to mention all the added storage space & convenience features :firstplace: that the RT gives you :yes:

One thing to remember, yes, the Ryding position of the RT is more upright than the RS & that will give you a more comfortable Ryde :thumbup:especially over the long haul.

But, when your desire to hit the twisties and see what the RT can do takes hold, all you have to do is adjust your Ryding position. I lower my center of gravity by "hugging" the glove box and in the turns, I have my chin over my knuckles on the handlebar. With switching your Ryding position this way, I've found that TEDDYS RT-S handles like it's on rails :yes::clap::yes:

I've said it before & I'll say it again. "I've NEVER had so much FUN doing 45mph in my lyfe :yes::yes::yes:

I hope you enjoy your new :spyder2: as much as Teddy & I are enjoying his:2thumbs:
 
:congrats::2thumbs: I couldn't agree more. They are totally different but both offer the same number of:ohyea: and giggles.

Ride in comfort,

:welcome: and :congrats: on the new :spyder2:

I have had the pleasure of owning both machines and they are indeed different beasts--each are special in their own way.

I am more into touring than sport--so the RTS is my choice of the two flavors.

The only options I have added to my RTS are a Corbin seat and backrest and some additional lights--glo riders and dayrunners on the front, and the rear mouted light bar on the travel case.
