• 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.

Living in Connecticut I think I'll schedule a vacation in June for Americade. Does anyone think there is any chance of some type of Spyderfest in the Northeast ?
 
Every Event is so individual, that the question becomes very difficult to answer. For instance, the Official BRP Event category just can't compare. Each event has it's own flavor. Valcourt was my first long ride and we had a great time and BRP went all out. Hollywood was fantastic and as Lamont said, it was more about the ride and the relationships than anything else. I don't think the Chicago Event pales in comparison to the other two.

Spyder's in the Smokies the first year was a lot of fun. The 2nd year we only went to Lamont's BBQ but that was our plan all along. We have developed some great friendships and this was a great way to get together again.

Cuba is near and dear to my heart for reasons that have nothing to do with the Spyder, so when I had and opportunity to meet up with fellow riders there last year it was great. This had such a down home feel and the nicest people ever. I can't say enough about the Missouri Express and the Mogang.

As for others, we have gad a great time with various Banner rides and a Michigan UP ride that was a heck of a lot of fun. Also hit Niagara Falls for a great time with some SpyderLovers.

Since, I can't pin down a favorite, I just marked other. If it came down to it, it would be a tough choice between Cuba and Lamont's BBQ I think.
 
Potentially, dltang and I will only be able to go to one Spyder event this year also and we have made plans for Cuba, MO. :thumbup: We still would like to go to the BRP event and Lamont's BBQ also.
 
I voted for Spyderfest because (so far) is the only Spyder owner's event that is officially (and the only one that I know of, the other events don't seem to have an official) scheduled. I would like to go to other events, particulary to Spyders in the Smokies since I haven't been to Gatlinberg since I was a kid.

But work is another issue. Although I get 3 weeks a year, we like to travel out of the country so that alone is 2 weeks. Any other long ryding trip would be on weekends.
 
My vote is for Spyderest! Appears to be more organized
SITS was fun and we love the Gatlinburg area and the weather there.
Would due both again.:2thumbs:
SPYDERFEST!!! CANT WAIT:thumbup:
