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.
How many of us are still riding two wheel motorcyles?

At the moment no.
I am considering getting one of the new Royal Enfield Himalayans as the one thing the Spyder isn't much cop at is 'the less travelled road' i.e. dirt tracks etc. My old ute (pickup) is getting on in years now so needs to retire from off-road exploring. Want something I can disappear into the hills on
If BRP don't come up with a replacement for the RS then I'll have to go back to 2 wheels when I've run this one into the ground. Will be a shame as I prefer a Spyder for road riding but not much option.

I've still got a Suzuki Vstrom and a Yamaha WR250R in the garage. They haven't gotten any attention since I got the Spyder this year. If my son doesn't start riding the Vstrom I may sell it.

Still riding Gold Wing
We still are riding the 2015 Gold Wing as well as our 2014 RT Limited. Teresa prefers us riding the Spyder from a "safety" standpoint. So, we added a Russel day long seat to increase comfort on the Spyder since that is the bike we add up the most miles. Gold Wing is around 11,000 miles now (mostly solo riding) and the Spyder RT at 41,000 miles. Rendezvous and Red Rock rallies here we come!

Traded in my 2009 Vulcan 900 LT to get Linda her own 2011 Spyder in 2012. Also had hip issues. Got a new hip this January so felt the need to get back on two wheels.
Purchased another Vulcan 900 LT (a new 2015) in June of this year. I trade off between the Vulcan and the :spyder2: now. Have put 3K miles on the Vulcan since June. I missed two wheels. :yes:

My 2005 Yamaha VStar1100; it just won't die
Between 2 Wheelers as far as owning goes atm, but similarly to PistonBlown, I have been riding & will return to/continue riding 2 wheelers on 'the roads less travelled' we have out here.... something we've got a helluva lot of Down Under!! There again, if BRP would only release something better suited; maybe a touch narrower, with a fair bit more ground clearance, capable of running better tires & drive systems suitable for on/off road tracks, & with a bunch more low revs poke/gearing, then I just might be tempted into trying some 'reverse trike off roading'?!? As it is, my 2013 RT Spyder sees a fair bit of good dirt & gravel roads, as well as thousands of miles of chip-seal black top!! But for the real 'off the beaten track' stuff, atm I'm back on 2 wheels for at least one day most weeks! :thumbup:
Would anyone else be interested in an 'Adventure Spyder'? Maybe a production version of that yellow off-road concept Spyder that's hit the boards every once in a while? Whaddaya reckon??

2 WHEELS
YUP, 2 WHEELS.....
2 wheels on the left side, &, 2 wheels on the right side... it's called a TOYOTA TUNDRA....
can't do a 2 wheel bike any longer..... right hip, knee & foot just YELL & SCREAM at me all the time....
however, had the SPYD3R been around in the 1960's when i first started riding, i would have opted for a SPYD3R way back then.... i just find it far more fun than 2 wheels... jmho....
