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"???

What's in a Name
I actually work in a Harley shop, so I have it parked outside during the work day. I have sooooo many people ask if we sell them, when I tell them it belongs to an employee, (I don't tell all of them it's me cause it turns into a 20 min conversation), they want to know who does sell them. Have had nothing but good comments from co-workers and customers alike. Have had to make up a sign about DO NOT CLIMB OR SIT ON BIKE, because I'll look out and some dude is climbing on it to see how it feels!!!! As far as names go, nobody has come up with anything I care to get angry about.

We call our RTS "Pat" because we picked it up on St. Patricks Day.

I mostly get the backwards trike thing. I tell some if they are really old school they could remember somtning called a cushman or a cushman eagle 2 wheeler. If they know about the cushman and what they are then i consider the person with the remarks as knowledgeable and go on. If not then we have a discussion and point of education on being a motorcycle enthusiats.But all in all most people like the looks and the stability of that weird looking thing.

I've been tod I'm riding my trike backwards. Sometimes I'll reply that they build yours backwards. Or sometimes I'll say your riding your Spyder backwards (to a triker) or sometimes, in good humor, I'll advise a 2 wheeled that a wheel fell off their Spyder.

We were in the Huddle House in Robbinsville not that long ago, setting out for the Skyway when our server inquired about who had the Cadillac. Well, thinking conventionally, we pointed at Bob, who has the 2010 Champion 'Wing trike. No, she said the blue one, the one that's backwards. So I suppose a backwards 'Caddy it is. A lot of people have called it a toy, so naturally the price tag comes up, followed by a jaw drop. A quick trip through the twisties anyone?

what name has folks called your Spyder?
As I was coming out of the Post Office one day, a guy was standing by my bike, and he said "That is quite a "contraption" you have there, I bet if you could get a patent on it, you could sell all of those you could build" I just smiled and said, well I bet so, but I did not build this one. I have had quite a few Harley owners say that they really liked it, also. :yes:

I knew mine was a transformer from the minute I looked at him head on after backing him into the garage. His name is Burp, 'cause that's what he told me with the emblem on his nose. Luckily, things have been quiet in this quadrant of the universe and he hasn't had to change.
