• 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.

HELP Who is this guy????

There's actually quite a story about trying to load an SE 5 equipped bike into a trailer when you don't have any brakes...
Well...
The brakelights were stuck on, and moving the pedal through it's normal range wasn't enough to put out the fires.
So I'm on my back up under the bike with my head up against the catalytic converter,,,(GOTTA remove dat sumbitch...)
I disconnect the rod that connects the pedal to the rear bellcrank that makes everything get "Stoppy" when the pedal is mashed.
The microswritch that handles brankelight duties has a couple of little tabs that get moved as the bellcrank moves; so I'm playing with the bellcrank, and it starts raining tiny parts on me!

So now that everything is pretty well-busted; my work is done. I zip-tie the crank so that the lights stay out, and I crawl out from under it. Now I know that it's needing a trailer trip to the dealer.
I borrow a trailer from a riding buddy, and now we've just got to get it loaded. I push it out of the garage and fire it up... Intending to drive it up on with no stopping power whatsover! :shocked: (unless you count "Flintstoning" it...) I put the bike into gear, and it starts creeping off WAY faster than I wanted... so I shut if off... IN GEAR!!!
How do you start an RT that's in gear? You push on the brakepedal that I just disconnected! :gaah:
Now it's down to pure muscle; I yell for help, and Sonny-Boy comes running...
Me on the left, him on the right, and the Missus dead-center..
I now have to explain to her that if I yell for her to get out of the way; there's no time for arguing or not hearing me...
We now sort out the plan of attack; we'll push until it's on, or it rolls back over us!
But just in case we meet with success; I'll stop once the bike hits the top of the ramp, and head up front to keep it front smashing up the front end on the back of the truck...
Well; it all worked out pretty much the way we planned, but my blood pressure was high enough to knock all of the scale off my pipes for sure!
 
Facebook

Is this Spyder Lovers or Facebook? I spend more time on this Site, then I do on my Trike. Hey does that rhyme?
 
You guys are a rough bunch of :cus: :yikes: :roflblack: :joke:
That was taken just before the bike's only trip on a trailer.
The microswitch for the brakelights had self-destructed. :gaah:

Bob,

if I remember correctly that microswitch went belly-up with help from someone who will remain nameless.
 
Honestly; I'm not sure what caused it to self-destruct... :dontknow:
I'm wondering if it could have not taken kindly, to being moved from one frame to another after "the incident"... :opps:

Sure would have liked to seen a video of that:roflblack:
 
BajaRon's right.....he's got great legs....you sure this was in Playboy???
I've copied the picture to show the guys in my bike club in the UK!!
I think I'll probably enlarge it to say, A0..... It should make some people very happy!!!:D ROFL!!
 
The real story is Bob was actually riding in the vehicle instead of on the spyder, the misses driving I presume, so that he could continue to post on spyderlovers via ipad. (Someone thought he actually rides the spyder????)

Dang I missed a good thread (busy rYding)!!

I actually said that picture was a capture of Bob's attempt for an Academy Award for Best Actor portraying a sad man in "Spyder, The Ride or the Type"
:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
No, no, no wait... that was the day the wife found out about all the farkles he's spent over the years and called the bank to get the :spyder2: repoed... The Repo man let him take one last ride... while trailering it to the lot!!!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
 
I like the post that referenced the photo as Bob being pulled around on the trailer as he typed.

Eric is stirring the pot again :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
