• 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.

Good Spyder Story

I'm trying to decide if this is a good statement or a sarcastic jab~~~The marketing of the Spyder is a wink-nudge tribute to the open road—a Viagra ad without the “ask your doctor” finish.

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Since they have probably never owned a Spyder I would say that the writer is the one who's not impressed and would never wave to a Spyder rider.

Other than that statement it was a witty article with only a few forgivable inaccuracies.

Wonder where this comes from?

"a gnarly-looking biker nods impressively at the look of the thing. This doesn't actually happen in real life. On the road, motorcyclists rarely drop the two-fingered wave to a Spyder."

Around here it's a rarity that we don't get a wave, regardless of what the other guy is driving (except maybe the BMWs ;)).
On the other hand maybe it's the Ural and not the :spyder2:. Anyway not a bad write up.

Ride safe,

I totally agree with this statement. Here lately it is a rare thing when a Harley rider does not wave. And even more rare thing when BMW rider does wave. Go figure...

Good one..!!

Out here we pretty much get waved by all. Difference may be we do it first and almost always get a wave back. I think because trikes (Harley's and Goldwings) and sidecars are pretty much accepted the spyder is as well.. But nice write up..!! :thumbup:
