• 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.

Hey SpyderLovers -

"The better half" and I picked up an 09 Spyder Phantom for her on Thursday. I signed up on the forum last night, and wanted to get the first post out of the way! :D We don't yet have pics with her on the Spyder, so this will have to do for the time being.

I've been on two wheels for some time (my current ride is Kawasaki Concours 14), and she tried two wheels, but just couldn't get used to it. We stumbled across the Spyder, and when she took one out for a ride, she came back with a huge grin! I have to agree - I got to ride it home from the dealer, and thought it was a blast.
Now, we just need the weather to cooperate so she can get out on it and get used to the feel. (Rainy day in MN today - :gaah:)

Anyway, I'm generally pretty quiet on forums, but will chime in when I can add something of value. It looks like I've got a LOT of reading to do of older posts, though, so I'm off to catch up on the collective wisdom of this group. Thanks for all of the knowledge that you're about to let me in on!

Well at least in my case I'm not going to guarantee any wisdom :shocked:, but welcome to the show! If your Better half has any ATV or snowmobile experience, it'll help her with the transition to life on a Trypod! :thumbup:
 
Welcome to both of you and congrats on the new Spyder! The search function on the forum works really well as, as has already been said, has a wealth of information.
