+1:agree:... It's just "The Bike" or "The Spyder" I've never named any other bike over the years, why start now....

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 bike, we've never named any of our vehicles. When we had two bikes, we called them the Spyder and the Voyager.

After getting new - and very unbalanced - front tires, I'm considering "Shivering Billy" rather than the generic and unprintable name I use for all machinery...

Not really but that is exactly what crossed my mind. :riding:

Mine is "Il ragno puntura di scirpione". The first owner put that scorpion on the frunk, probably because it has the Akrapovic exhaust, RLS cat delete, 2nd stage ecu tune, air filter mod with K&N filter as well, and Pedal Commander.
I'm Italian, and the name means "Spyder with a scorpion sting."
I ran the Pedal Commander up in Sport+ and setting +4 ONLY ONCE: it is a monster. Eco for the wife, Street 0 for me.

I’m thinking that’s a bit of a misnomer, at least as far as I’m concerned. My RTS is not a money pit. However, I am, with all of the farkles that I think that I NEED. Other than maintenance, my Spyder has not cost me anything. It’s actually great right out of the box... then comes MY farkles! I’ve GOTTA have that; this would look SO COOL; and the list goes on. YES, the Kenda tires need replacing, but that is part of maintaining your ride. Just my opinion... others will think differently.

Am I the only Looney that names their ride?
I have been called all sorts of names because I name my vehicles. Always a feminine name (So sue me, I am 70, I just don't care anymore).
In 2015 I ended up in Idaho in September and the morning I was to come home it was 28°. My 2011 Ultra Glide got me safely to Green River, Wy. When I went to put my feet down, my arthritic Kees were numb, and I couldn't hold the bike up. One of the guys riding with me was quick and saved me from falling. After Warming up some, I got home safe and the next morning I traded the Ultra for a TriGlide. When I got it home, I commenced to installing the goodies and when I got to the rear of the trike (guess I never looked at the back) I actually said out loud, "Dang Girl, you got a big butt!". From that moment on, she was named "Fat Bottom Girl".
After two Knee replacements (and a bankruptcy of my business) I got a 2014 Ultra Glide, she was black and made me feel naughty. Named her Harley Quinn. Guess I don't have a photo of the Harley Quinn Decal.
I tore up both shoulders working on swimming pool covers, so after having both repaired, I retired from work and riding.
Even though I missed being in the wind, pretty much gave up riding until a friend told me to try his Spyder. The thing was way different, but the steering was easy and effortless compared to a TriGlide. I was missing riding and hooked on the feeling the Spyder left me.
Ended up with a white 2019 Spyder F3. As I have always liked white vehicles, I had pretty much exhausted the "white names". When I retired from the Navy and took a job in Northbrook, Il. then moved to Grand Junction, Co. when my dad passed to try to save a failing business, "Cool Change" by Little River Band had become my favorite song and really expresses my lament at missing the sea. The song came up on Apple Radio right after I decided on the Spyder. It seemed like fate, so I named the Spyder "Cool Change". She was quite the change from Harleys and Gold Wings. If. I am being honest, I kind of miss the Harleys and Goldwings. But my Spyder certainly is a "Cool Change". And she is all I can handle.
Okay, so the point of this thread is to share if you name your ride, what the name is, and how it came to be.
Psssst ... it also may help convince me that I'm not crazy. :yikes:
