• 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"???

the death machine, it was the guys I work with. I was a planetary menace and the death machine name just sort of came along with it.

you guys know that the camera guy died in the bullitt movie on the overshot corner scene. Also they were only allowed by permit to go 20 mph on those hills. An awsome scene and car movie.
 
My wife named both my rides. The Spyder is the " Metal Bitch" as in " Are you riding the bitch again , dear?". My Ninja 650 is the "Steel Slut".

Can't win either way-- I'm in trouble no matter what.
 
My Phantom, well I call her "14". Not sure what my Wife has named the RS-S.

BTW, I have a 14 year old Dodge RAM truck that is called "Old Blue". So I'm kinda partial to that name! :D
 
I've named mine Floyd (as in Pink Floyd). It's currently red, but will eventually be painted an autumn orange. But, I think his name will still be Floyd!

I've only had mine a couple of days but so far I have been referring to it as 'the beast' but I will think long and hard as I rack up the miles for something more appropriate.... maybe 'Ralph'? Nah... :wrong:
 
I am trading in my RTS on a 2011 RTS. The old one was the "Hippo", the new one will be "Red Ryder". :thumbup:

I have not done a very good job of keeping up with happenings on Spyderlovers for about a week so I missed this post, Scotty. I sure hope that you have better luck with "Red Ryder" than you've had with the "Hippo".

On the other hand, a lot of us have been able to learn a lot about our rides from the efforts you've made to correct the problems on yours. So the "Hippo" hasn't been a total bust - it's been a good learning experience.

Congrats on the new ride and hope the dealer made you a super deal on it.

White Noise

"White Noise" It's getting air brushed on the bike one day soon as I slowly modify the machine.

My wife(now deceased) jokingly referred to all of my current and past motorcycles as "The Black Bitch", as in her view I was gone driving them too much. She couldn't ride do to spine/hip injuries.

As a fan for years of The Green Hornet, I'm partial to calling my beastie:

The Black Beauty
 
Danu

Danu is the Irish Godess
Mother of the Irish Gods. She's decorated with a Triangular Celtic knot (I thought the Trilogy and Three Wheels "tied" in nicely)
So Danu she is and She certainly has an Irish temper!
