• 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.

Just wanted to say howdy to everyone and thank the admins for this website. My wife just bought me a 2012 Spyder RT SE5 for Christmas. It's got 13,000 miles on it.

:welcome: and :congrats: on your :spyder2:

Ask on with the questions. We will do our best to help. The do's and don'ts thread is a good place to start.
 
Thanks, everyone.

Well, went to unload it from the trailer and found out the battery is original and DOA. Figures. Taking it over to Broadway Powersports in Tyler to get a new battery installed. Haven't even got the extended factory warranty transfer completed yet, but batteries aren't covered anyway (per svc dept at BP). So feeding the beast begins before I ever got it off the trailer. :yes:

So there's my first question: in East Texas, where does everyone like to get their worked on, buy parts, etc.?
 
Welcome

Welcome! and Congratulations!

I should have welcomed you before I commented on the red Spyders being fastest ;).

Wonderful source of information. I am so glad to have this forum as a resource. Not to mention there are a lot of good people who are willing to help.

Best to you!
 
:congrats: and :welcome: You will enjoy your Spyder very much,I know I have.Mine is also a 2012 RTL. You will get a lot of questions answered and gain valuable insight into your Spyder by reading the Do's and Don'ts section at the first of the website. I think someone already posted the address. Lots of good vendors on the home page Since you have a VTwin and an SE remember to keep the revs up,don't short shift it. Go to at least 5000 before shifting and you will enjoy the ride a lot more.
 
Hi Musashi,

Re: New Spyder Owner and Forum Member

Back when I was still a working guy, I had this on the wall of my office:

There are no dumb questions; however, there are stupid mistakes.

This is great site; in spite of some of the characters here. :shocked:

Re: My wife just bought me a 2012 Spyder RT SE5 for Christmas.

Now, that woman is a keeper.

Enjoy the Spyder and this site, and welcome to the party,
