• 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.

I did it ... finally!

Following my post "I did it ...almost", here's my post ...finally.

After almost 10 years of watching the Spyder, I pulled the trigger today. I bought a dark 2018 F3 Limited, black. I should get it Friday 11:30 AM.

I drove ten hours today to the dealer that accepted my bike in a trade and gave me a decent price for it. Now we wait. Nice weather for the ride back on Friday.

I am really happy about this. I realized I had become concerned on a 2-wheel and wasn't enjoying my rides even though I enjoy riding. Either roads are bad or we're in construction zones. We never know what's out there. I had become afraid of using new roads. The Spyder is putting a smile back, a grin on my face while riding. Can't wait for Friday.

Thanks for all the help and advice. I really look forward to sharing with all of you.

Ride safe!
 
congratulations....🎉🎉🎉

Long time but hey it is now and it is on the way to being ready for that ryce home...:clap: we will still need that all important picture as proof..:roflblack: Know it will be a long week but hang in there cause it is well worth it...:thumbup:
 
10 hours - x 2 trips

Wow - 10 hours to make the deal :yikes:, 10 hours to PU the new Spyder :yikes:, hopefully not 10 hours for service.

Congrats on the new purchase :clap:
 
Congrats. In 2015 I drove to Chicago from Cleveland to pick up my new Spyder. You are really gonna enjoy your new bike!!!!!

You're going to love the experience! The Spyder is not a 2 wheeler. But it is just as much fun! :thumbup:

The pick up is not as bad because I needed to be in the area anyway. The dealer is between Toronto and Montreal and I am often in Montreal, although I live closer to Toronto. I'l just have to do the trips to Montreal on my Spyder instead of by car:thumbup:

In total, this was a 12-hour trek. I admit I am a bit tired today.

10 years to decide??? How long does it take you to buy a house? :)


Which dealer did you buy your Spyder from?


You should come to Spyderquest in Lake George, NY Sept 5-9 to break in the Spyder. :)

I'm at my fifth house! The last one is a new construction! Ye. It should be known that I bought three bikes during that time.

I bought it from maximum in Hawkesbury. The only one with a decent offer for my current bike.

Spyderquest is a good idea. I'll keep that in mind!

ride safe.
