• 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"???

We came up with a name

Thanks for your responses....after driving our spyder for the first day, we have come up with a name...
Being in Georgia and being a white bike, we thought of:
  • Dixie
  • Moonshine
  • Casper
  • Sugar
  • Bianco
  • Zoomer (close runner up)
  • Pearl
  • Beluga
  • Southern candy
After driving for 2 hours and enjoying the comfy ride, we have named it... "Southern Comfort" :yes:

My 2014 paint color is "Cognac."
My favorite Cognac is Courvoisier
Courvoisier calls itself the Cognac of Napoleon
Thus I named her Josephine

Takes me a while to get there, but I get there! Much like my leisurely rydes.

.....I believe that if you ride your ryde long enough, it will give you their name...

And if your ride/ryding pleases you enough, it might even be a 'nice' name!! :ohyea:


But I hafta pity some of those owners who've ended up with really 'not nice' names off their rides..... :shocked:

Their rides musta done (or not done??!) something reeeeaaaallly bad to earn some of the names I've heard them called!! :yikes:

Right on! At the start of some rydes, I've called mine "Honey". At the end of some rydes (sometimes, during) the name has "evolved" into something less complementary. More often than not, I've used some "ess's", some "ohh's", and some "bee's".:roflblack: All in good fun. Have to admit, and, hoping I'm not jinxing myself here, I've never had to go back and trailer my Spyder home ------------ yet.
 
Should I change the name of our Spyder? Which one do you like?

OH-OH! THINKING ABOUT CHANGING THE NAME....:shemademe_smilie:

We had decided on "Southern Comfort" because we are in Georgia and the bike is so comfortable. But then a friend of mine saw the video of me (Karen) test driving my first Spyder. If you saw the video, I was giving it gas with my foot on the pedal and then released the petal and almost got whip lash. So now I'm thinking we should call it "Whip Lash". At least it has a story.

Watcha think? Southern Comfort or Whip Lash?:dontknow:

 
Use both of them... :thumbup:
You can explain it, by saying that it all depends on which of the voices in your head; is the loudest! :roflblack:
 
Spyder name

Yes, I named it and put the name on the back of the bike, "JOSHUA"

Reason, Joshua 24:15, if you don't know it, you can look it up, but it advertises my status quite accurately!

Thank you,
 
This or that?

I think Southern Comfort only because your comfort is longer lasting then the whip lash. Of course when the wife is driving take care that the name doesn't revert to being uncomfortable.:roflblack::yikes:
