• 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.

Hello from East Texas.

we are down near Houston....but we could always meet half way for lunch....welcome and let us know what you do.....
 
Hi folks

:pray: hoping to make up my mind on what I'll do next week. Like I said be for I'm new to all this :spyder2: stuff. I have a fused spine L1-S5 with a lot of nerve damage ( spinal cord stimulator ) but I try not to let it slow me down. Was wondering what are the first few mods to look into doing for a comfort ride. I'm 6' 4'' 290 pnds. Yes, I plan on doing my own work on it. Its been 12 years since I was on a tour bike :yikes:& cant wait to get back out there.:2thumbs:

flamingobabe,TasmanianDevil nice to meet you both. Ill have no problem getting out on the weekends with my wife and riding and meeting people.
What are some of the things that are bad or you dont like about the RT and what have you done about it.Guess I'm looking for a heads up on what I'll run into so to speak.Dont get me wrong on this, I love what I see on this bike so far. :bowdown:
 
I feel there are 3 mods that is a must for comfort. The first a must is backrest. I went with a Utopia brand its been working great for me. Next is a cup holder. I had a Bulter brand installed at a Gold Wing show. The next for me will be road pegs.

flamingobabe, I noticed that you live in Friendswood. My wife spent a good portion of her life in Pearland. After we were married, we lived in Pearland for a few years before moving to the Dallas area. We still have friends there and own a house there (wife's childhood home) in Sleepy Hollow.

I'm getting my Spyder this Saturday... yahoo!!! Next time we're in the area, we'll look you up... but it may be a while before I'm comfortable going that far.. this is my first ryde ever.

Hey Ranger... not in east Texas but in north Dallas area. Just getting my Spyder this weekend. I'm new to motorcycling but maybe in a few months I might be up to venturing out that far. If so, I'll give you a holler and we can meet up.

Good luck with your purchase.

Rangr- as the signature shows, I'm in Tyler, as is Reese (previous post). I'm reasonably tied up for the next few weeks, but if you like, get with Reese and let's find a time to see your new ryde and show you why we like ours!!!
