• 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.

after several test rides finally picked up my new rt today. 32 years on two wheels i was not sure i was making the right decision. finally after spending a day on my own rt - all i can say is these things are a freakin blast to ride, and once i get past the learning curve i can tell it will only get better.

Green with envy

I'm green with envy, I'm still on two wheels but get to ride the boss's RT when she's not looking. Hopefully this spring I'll get mine:yes:

Sounds like you've started out very well. You'll have a short learning curve as you are already having a blast on the Spyder. Just a word of caution though, Things to remember:

#1where's the brake? believe me, you'll reach for it more than once.
#2 When you find the brake keep your foot off of it till you need it. Just sayin, thats a good way to meet Limpy.
#3 You can go 150 miles on a tank so ignore the little yellow light. Seriously.
#4 keep the RPM's up. Mr. Rotax is happy up there.
#5 Get Lamont's NVB's, you'll be happy you did.
#6 Within 1000 miles you will get to meet Nanny and appreciate her.
#7 Don't worry, you don't have to be gentle when opening the frunk or the seat, push and turn the key like you mean it.
#8 Visit the sponsers on the Spyderlovers home page, you will find some great products with these guys.

These are just a few of the things I wanted to list for you, I am sure there are many more. Have fun and be safe.

stanproff. i have already reached for the hand brake i would guess most every time, hard habit to break. yes i found out she likes the revs-the more i give her the happier she is. did a 250 mi. ride yesterday-if it were 500 i would still not have enough ride time. noticed you'r hometown, stayed in jonesboro a couple years ago for the bmw rally in johnson city. (still have my lt) cool little town, really liked the music festival on friday night, hope to get back soon. i have to research #6, i really don't understand the nanny thing. thanks for the advice
