• 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 am sadden to report that the Spyderlovers bother and sister hood lost member Butch today.

Yesterday on his way to one of our MN chapter rides he struck a deer. He was air lifted to a hospital where the removed his shattered spleen, but due to brain damage pass away today.

I was honored to have considered him a friend and will be greatly missed.

RIP my friend!
 
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your friend, Butch. My prayers go out to his family... may he rest in peace.
 
This is just terrible news..When I read anything about Minnesota on here,Butch's name was always there..My wife and I traveled to Minnesota last year,and Butch and Seth were my main source of information before we left..Once there Jim,Les and Kathy were so kind to show us around..Butch could not make it because he was visiting either his or Paula's for Fathers Day...Our condolences Paula..Know that you and Butch touched more lives than you know...My wife and I will never forget your help..:pray::pray:...Bob and Denise
 
:pray: R.I.P.
From now on; you'll have clear roads, and the Sun will always be at your back... :pray:

Paula had sent me a text yesterday about the accident and then I had an update from Seth last night. I checked my phone during the night and was hoping that no news was good news. I am so saddened by this . Butch was the best guy and a wonderful friend to everyone.

Joe and and I met Butch and Paula in 2010 at our first Spyder event and we have been friends with them ever since. My heart goes out to Paula and their daughters Heidi and Heather and to Seth.

A a piece of my heart broke today.
 
Butch

Godspeed, Butch. It was an honor to have known you. You and Paula were the first folks we ever met from SL. . It was always a joy to be with you. My heart aches for Paula. Rest in peace. Joe
 
Prayers for a fallen brother. Another reminder that what we love can be dangerous. Be careful and safe out there.
 
Our hearts are broken with the loss of Butch...we just spent the morning with Butch and PaulA...the greatest guy...always a smile...always happy...this is a great loss.....Paula...Heather...Seth...and family you are in our thoughts. ..we love you guys
 
Deer are so unpredictable. This happens more often than you can imagine. Please be vigilant and on the watch for them. I did not know Butch but lived in MN several times and of course rode there a lot. There are more deer now than ever. Please be careful.

May your final journey West be a peaceful one Butch. God Bless you Paula.

Jack and Camille.
 
This is such awful news. We are thinking and praying for Paula and their family. Butch was such a wonderful man and one of a kind. We remember when we met them. He will truly be missed by all who knew him, but the Lord must have needed another Angel in Heaven.
