• 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.

Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

Roaddog - Mine is silver too. I got a NMN 25" windshield and 4" handlebar risers. Now this old lady doesn't have to lean on her skinny old wrists! I can sit upright and it feels much better.

So sad winter is coming! :mad:
 
I call mine, Spyder. :cheers: And, if the mood strikes me; I sometimes call it, Spyder Roadster.




And, everyone knows what I'm talking about. :thumbup:

Mine is named: Lil' Pumpkin.BTW: I hope the weather channel is wrong ...15 cm of snow (~6 inches) is expected tonight in my area. That's NOT funny winter only starts on Dec 21st ! GRRRRRR.....
 
It is real. It's a statue in front of the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario. It's name is Maman (mother)...how appropriate for the picture !
Monique, is that large spider real, or is that some Photo Shop magic?
Cool pic either way. :2thumbs:

Monique, that weather forecast is very depressing. We won't get as much as you, but they are calling for snow here in southern Ontario tonight and tomorrow as well. I mean, come on, it isn't even freakin' November yet!:dontknow:

Oh, and for the Spyder name, mine is "Red October." Took delivery on October 11, and lovin' her ever since. Put 1100 kilometres on her the first weekend I had her.

That is a great name - hope you get to ride it some more before the snow comes your way.

Oh and YES .... I am very unhappy to report that the nasty white stuff has been coming down since about 5 PM in the Ottawa area :yikes:- looks like the forecast was right ....about 3 inches down so far.:(
 
I called mine "Slithering clump of puppy crap" once When my foot slipped off the emergency brake and I hit my leg on the peg.
Other than that it is just. "Spyder"
I know not too creative. :sour:

Thank you guys for bringing this thread back

Thanks for the replys! Any body know "Spyder" any language than English or Lakota? In my early life in the AZ desert -I probably heard it in Apache, Pima, Mexican, maybe Cherokee but don't remember any of them. Maybe someone from "the old country" could name one in High German or maybe one of our northern riders could give the French version?

I remember many a Japaneese household with a very large "Kumo" keeping any small insects under control.

Thanks again for the replies.

I used a language translation program and here are the answers I got. I used Dutch and French first as those are my ancestral languages

Dutch=Spin ( I like this one)
French=Araignée
Norwegian=edderkopp (This one is for my husband)
Italian=Ragno
Spanish=Araña
Portuguese=Aranha
Russian=Спайдер
Greek=Αράχνη
Chinese=蜘蛛
Japanese=くも
Korean=거미
Swedish=spindel
Croatian=pauk
Czech=pavouk
Danish=edderkop
Finnish=hämähäkki
Polish=pająk
Romanian=păianjen

Sorry I do not know how to pronounce the words with symbols, as I find more I will post those as well.

Great stuff! For those who don't understand Russian, Спайдер is pronounced Spyder (with an accent and a rolled R). Cool, huh?
