• 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.

New Forum Section Needed................

I think that a big helping of Ice Cream might just help everybody's mood this morning!

It has become so painful to come on hear and listen to the moaning and complaining not only from "current owners" but it seems also from the "maybe owners" or better yet from the "ex owners".

The solution is called "add a member to your ignore list"; you'll read then the "Rosy SL Forum". :doorag:
 
If it wasnt for all the flamer / troll posts we could never cook all this BBQ.

As a Spyder Lover who has dual citizenship (both US and Canada) I have enjoyed the back and forths on this thread (with one out-of-line exception).

This is a group with a wide and varied sense of humor

The type of gripes that Buttsy cites are unfortunately just the nature of sites like this. I'm glad there are enough Spyder enthusiasts to counter balance them.
 
Got to love the internet... where the quiet frustrated person can blow up with his keyboard and make :cus: up if he/she doesn't know it.

BTW, you haters know that you are being monitored... and please avoid saying that this "big brother is watching you" is only on the current administration because this has been happening since WWII.

... and I just opened a NEW can of worms on that last phrase!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
 
Buttsy I have to agree

And yes I to was guilty of complaining, it was the first year I got my rt and it had a few problems but as we found out it had to do with the set up not the machine. Before I bought a Spyder I was on this forum reading reading reading post after post. And wow was there ever a lot of negative words flying around here, I was a little hesitant in buying a machine with a cost as high as this is. This is going to be my 3rd summer with the Spyder and I absolutely love it, last years trip to the owners event I did just over 8500km problem free. Buttsy I think a lot of people don't realize that us Canadians are pretty laid back, we like to take it easy have a beer or a coffee and just relax. I always say there are two ways to live your life.....you are either Happy....or you are miserable and there are a few of those in here lately. I read almost every thread and only respond to a few because I have been attacked on here as well, I just don't respond to those kind of people, in my mind silence is golden lol. It's funny how this thread started off great but there are always a few people who will trash it....just sad really

Ps..there is a wealth of good information here as well Keep it up

Can you come up with something else besides ice cream, please? Trying to keep body fat down.:joke:

So have been a member here for about 6 weeks and a :spyder2: owner for the same period of time. If you read and believe all of the gripes, moans, and complaints that show up here, you can get the impression early on that maybe the :spyder2:is mostly bad and certainly shouldn't be trusted very far from home!

In spite of my misgivings about all of this, I am currently 900 miles into a 2500 mile trip with Maggie Valley and then home to Texas still to come. Surprise, surprise....my Spyder is running great, couldn't be any more fun, and it has not left me on the side of the ride one single time. And you know what else, I will bet that most of the people on this site could say the same thing or even more!! Complainers and flamers are a fact of life on the web...opinions are like :cus:, everyone has one.

With that said, maybe we should just try to post five positive things for every negative :cus: - hole comment?? For all of you senior members who post a lot to help us newbies out....thanks!

We have over 9,000 miles on our Spyder and have had zero problems. See everyone at Maggie Valley or Lamont's
 
As to the original topic, I have to disagree. While my Spyder has been completely trouble free, I know what it is to long for a product and go to great lengths to own it, only to wind up with a lemon. I had this experience with an Indian motorcycle. Few circumstances are as infuriating because you really just want the thing to perform and you figure your natural allies are other owners. But the last thing other owners want to hear are people slamming their purchase. It's a tough spot and I try to sympathize with those owners.

I think the bitching and moaning is good for a new buyer looking. Wouldn't you rather be armed with all the information, than be surprised by it?
Heck, if you want to see some real piss'n and moaning, go to a Land Rover thread a few years back(or maybe now, not sure). Its amazing they ever sold one car.:roflblack::roflblack: I bought one and bought a spyder just as well...you might say i'm a glutton for punishment, but i don't have a single regret over either. :dontknow:

BRP has issues like most companies do, and when they use the public to do the beta testing, they are going to get the blowback that comes with it. i think it's fair.:D

:agree:As a potential buyer, I like hearing about the good and the bad. If you only get 1 view of a product, you cannot make a good decision.
There is always the option of not opening a thread that you feel offended by.

In 1869 Paul Langerhans, a medical student in Germany, was studying the histology of the pancreas. He noted that this organ has two distinct types of cells—acinar cells, now known to secrete digestive enzymes, and islet cells (now called Islets of Langerhans). The function of islet cells was suggested in 1889 when German physiologist and pathologist Oskar Minkowski and German physician Joseph von Mering showed that removing the pancreas from a dog caused the animal to exhibit a disorder quite similar to human diabetes mellitus (elevated blood glucose and metabolic changes). After this discovery, a number of scientists in various parts of the world attempted to extract the active substance from the pancreas so that it could be used to treat diabetes.

One of those scientists was Romanian physiologist Nicolas C. Paulescu. Paulescu received his education in Paris, where he trained under French physician Étienne Lancereaux. Lancereaux had long suspected that the pancreas was the source of diabetes. At the beginning of the 20th century, having received doctorates in biological chemistry and the natural sciences from the University of Paris, Paulescu began searching for the active pancreatic substance that he believed would cure diabetes. He returned to Bucharest, where, working in experimental physiology at the university there, he later hypothesized that the active substance of the pancreas acts on glucose, allowing glucose to be stored in muscles and in the liver, and when absent, results in the accumulation of glucose in the blood. Between 1914 and 1916, Paulescu performed experiments in which he obtained an antidiabetic pancreatic extract. He conducted a series of experiments in 1916 in which he injected the extract into diabetic dogs and measured blood glucose levels.​

Doc,
As I Type I for 48 years, Thanks for this info! I wasn't aware of some of these other contributions...

So far I only have 1500 miles on my 2013 RS-S but this is the best investment in fun and enjoyment I have ever made. No complaints here...Not saying I won't have problems in the future. Hopefully the best warranty will cover it when it happens.
