• 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.

Introduction - Hi everyone

Hi Teresa & hubby,
With you riding on back of motorcycles since 5 years old you won't need much practice.
Don't let the 2014 RT-S intimidate you, they are really easy to learn to ride.
Just jump on & head out of town to get the feel of the road with it!!!
Think of RT-S as a Miata convertible car (minus one rear wheel)!!
You made an excellent choice in a 2014 Spyder RT-S SE6 as they are awesome to ride!!
Enjoy your freedom on the road!
Jim

Jim, what a great way to think of it (as a Miata). Great idea. I've done better than I thought, that first 30 minutes. Still a little nervous taking corners. But hey, 30 minutes doesn't really give you alot of experience, right? LOL
 
:welcome::congrats:

:congrats::welcome:I had a Yamaha VStar 1100 Silverado, and put 25,000 on it, but now I ride a 2014 RT-L and it is a lot more fun than the VStar. Don't let the Hubby ride your Yellow Super Bee or he will not want to give it back. Ride safe and have many miles of smiles. :yes:

LOL I Have definitely been worried about that. BTW what's an Anti Sway Bar? Been trying to figure that out.
 
:welcome: and :congrats: on your new ryde. Your impeccable taste is showing on your selection. :roflblack: :yes:
 
Yellow Wolf, brave, proud, strong!!

Hi Gals.

As you see, my name is Teresa. Been on the back of 2 wheelers as a passenger since I was 5 years old. (No, that was not a typo). when I got out on my own, I planned to learn to ride on my own, but then was in a car accident and messed up my knee. It goes out when you least expect it (walking up stairs, walking across a flat surface, whatever), so riding a bike was a big "no way". I kept imagining stopping at a red light, only to have the knee go out and me and the bike to hit the pavement.

Then I saw the spyder.

It took me 4 years, but finally talked hubby into it. :D We brought it home Thursday, but it's already in the shop to fix a leak so I've only ridden it once. I've "Passengered" once as well. I'm scared out of my mind and thrilled at the same time. I can't wait until I'm comfortable enough to do take off on my own. I haven't gotten to the open road yet, though I do have my learner's permit. I plan to take the 3wheeled course the next time they have one in the area. they're always looking for someone who has their own bike to be able to hold it (they have 2 bikes, 3 are required).

My baby is yellow, and is as of yet, unnamed and un-themed. Looking for great ideas. I had initially wanted the blue one which no longer exists, and was going to paint it wolf theme if I could find something reasonable, since to me, they look like a snarling wolf from the front. but, alas, yellow and wolf doesn't really go well together.

Hubby is praying for the pittsburgh steeler's theme. I told him he could put one pittsburg sticker, INSIDE one of the saddle bags. LOL


Hi-hi there Yellow Wolf!!
Hi, how are ya, Hi, how are ya??
Um, you may not think Yellow Wolf goes together, but 100,000 natives would disagree.

Well come on in, to Your Spyder Tribe...

Welcome...I can honestly say that ....since I just got mine on Sunday (well it's still at the dealer in a crate :banghead: waiting for assembly and laser alignment)

:bowdown::bowdown::spyder2:
 
Me too!

I just got mine last Sat STS SM5 2013Could not pass up the deal! I have 200 miles on mine and did the first 100 home from the dealer. It was fun but the first half was a bit nerve racking. By the time I hit the highway I was doing 70 and loving it. I already feel pretty comfortable and the corners are the biggest thing to master. I am smiling as I type this.....my husband used to come after the cat..now he is 3rd..after the cat and the Spyder.

:welcome:I was a passenger for 16 years on the 2-wheel motorcycles, then 2 years ago, I ( bought a HD) traded it for a 2012 RTS-SE5 :spyder2: , it took me 1 day to get use the :spyder2: , the way it handled, steered, etc.

Last year mike and I went to Spyderfest, in Springfield, MO took a demo ride on the 14's and that did for mike and I now we both have 14'RT's, ( he has a white basic 14RT and I have the 14RTS-SE6 in Cognac) and we are enjoying them. The 14RT is a AWSOME machine. The engine is quite, and quick on the acceleration with the twist of the throttle.

I have 800 miles on it now. The first day I picked up mine I put on 160 miles , the next day I put 160.5 miles. Again Congratulation's.


This is my second :spyder2:. Deanna777:ohyea:

Hi Gals.


We brought it home Thursday, but it's already in the shop to fix a leak so I've only ridden it once.

Welcome to Spyderlovers, Teresa. Also congrats on getting your Yellow Wolf!

You mentioned your Spyder was in the shop to fix a leak. Can you tell me what was leaking i.e., oil, antifreeze, gas, etc.? Also I'd be interested in what your dealer did to fix it.

Thanks
