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.
Is your Sp','der an addition to another or going to replace a vehicle?

l'll use it for joy riding, if you can consider the level, straight, congested "boring" roads here in FL a "joy" to ride on !! I also have a deposit on the new B-King....subject to seeing it in person.

Well, I'd LIKE to keep my 2000 Suzuki Katana 600, but my lovely bride has explained to me that it's sale was a condition of us having put down a deposit.
Of course, we only have a one car garage (the truck and car sleep outside, of course) so I do need the room, and the $ from such a sale would pay for some of the Spyder, right?!

I bought Spyder as a backup to my M109R, mainly for commuting so I can keep the M109R in the garage on rainy, snowy and other bad weather days. But...when the wife saw it - who has never even been on a motorcycle - it now has become 'her' bike as she suddenly wants to give riding a try.
As for the B-King...dang that looks sweet but unless I hit the lottery, it's not going to happen.

I'm replacing everything I own, which is an old AMF Sportster, 1981, and an almost new Moto Guzzi Jackal. The Sportster is getting rusted, but all original and it runs, The Goose I bought in 2000 just before I got sick, and because I now have limited balance and leg strength I haven't ridden it only once since then.
This is great fun. I took the Spyder out for a demo ride and didn't fall over, and I could shift and break fine..great luck for me. Anyone in Connecticut or southern Mass. interested in either bike? :bigthumbsup: :agree:

Well, my first "bike" is actually a 150cc scooter. It has been great. I use it as my main form of transportation as long as the weather holds out. I have even driven in the rain but it is a bit slippery. Anyway, I am trading up, I was going to upgrade to the Suzuki Burgman 400 Suzuki but the Spyder just grew on me. The more I heard about it and checked it out and learned, the more I liked it. I did a short test ride at one of our dealers here locally back in July and it was okay, but the ride wasn't long enough or varied enough to make a good decision on. My husband ordered one because he like that they are bigger and more visible than a motorcycle. He sold his shortly after we were married 19 years ago because a couple of idiots almost killed him all in the same week. We plan on using our Spyders as much as mother nature allows. I have no problem bundling up for the cold. I will just have to watch it when we get our winter weather. They may have to spend some time in the garage then. We also want to do some distance touring together. Now we are looking into bike to bike communication systems, but that is another subject.

I've never driven a motorcycle but have been riding snowmobiles for 30+ years. This new toy is going to let me "ride" almost year round on a new set of "trails". My plan is to try and use on my commute daily instead of my gas guzzling pickup truck. Not sure how well this plan will hold up when the weather gets rough - time will tell!
My wife crashed her Vstar 6 years ago and has only recently been riding her own bike. She broke many body parts(hers). She now has a 1995 BMW R100R with an SCF sidecar. A very nice rig. We saw the Spyder and scheduled our test drive. She absolutely loved it. We ordered one on 9/13 for May 08 delivery. We may lose the sidecar rig when the Spyder shows up. I ride (or will when IT shows up) a 2008 Harley Ultra (traded a 2003) and a 1999 BMW R1200C. Wife also has a Honda Elite scooter that she doesn't use much.
Looking forward to participating more on this site when her toy shows up. We ordered the silver, the bar risers, the seat cowl, fog lights, the 12V outlet, a trunk liner and higher windshield.

Well I hate to admit it but I sold both my Motorcycles. A 2006 Triumph Speedmaster and a 2003 Yamaha Warrior with a 240 rear tire and the speedstar performance kit. After a bad fall on the Speedmaster I decided to make the move to three wheels. At 60 I think this is the best vehicle for this stage of my life. Most of my riding is with the wife on the back and I was starting to notice the weight in slow moving traffic. I'm so glad that this vehicle came along so I can keep my old head in the wind!!

I sold my honda ace 750 to put the deposit on the spyder. this will probably be a daily driver weather permitting, unless my husband jumps on it first in the mornings. he has a vtx 1300 and a cbr 954rr, but he really likes the spyder after our demo ride in richmond, virginia. i've noticed some of you have been to the dragon...any hopes of getting a club ride up in the future? we go to the dragon at least 4 times a year. we also live about 30 minutes from the blue ridge parkway, so i can't wait to ride mine around here. ( moutains of nc) my dealer from florida says mine should be here the 2nd or 3rd week in oct...better be... we are heading to biketoberfest and hope to pick it up on the way down!!! :

I'm about 2.5 hours from the Dragon and I think it would be great to get a bunch of us up there, lets plan on it. :doorag: :bigthumbsup:
