• 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 to Three Wheels

My wife and I are new to three wheels after riding on two for fifty seven years. Looking forward to riding, learning, and experiencing life on three. Also sharing my experiences and life beyond with the forum., but please bare with me due to I have absolutely no experience with these forums so learning this will be a work in progress. Heck, I don't even know if I'm doing this right... But anyway, HI :cheers:
 
CopperSpyder, thank you so very much. I knew I did something wrong when I posted this after looking back at it. At that point, I figured I already did something against the rules so figured I would be short lived here as a member. I have never been involved with any kind of forum before, but since I've been on here all day, I've learned somethings about it. Not to mention the huge brain trust this forum has. I have enjoyed every minute I've been on here today, also expecting to be booted off at any minute..... But thanks again for getting my thread (?) straightened out....

lol nothing wrong at all. first post you did good. You will get use to the place and how it works with the Tabs above. Click away, is the best way to find your way around. you can always just ask a question if your not sure or just use the PM (Private Message) system to a moderator or someone you know by clicking on their name you will see a drop down box, select Private Message. by doing that they will get the message you send to them.

Welcome V2,

A real wealth of knowledge on the forum. One really has to be a jerk to get kicked off but it has happened. You'll get warned first. My :spyder2: is Circuit Yellow also---- just glows in the sunlight.

So-- the only dumb question is the one you don't ask as we have all been there and done that.

Enjoy the ryde,
Lew L
 
Gotta love those VTwins. Welcome:welcome: Be sure to read Spyder do's and don'ts especially the older ones that refer to the VTwins. Hope you have miles of smiles on that Spyder. I also came from 50+ years on 2 wheels now have 6 years/69,000+ miles on the Spyder. Look forward to seeing stories about your adventures.
 
Welcome v2banger, hope you an your wife have plenty of great rides on your spyder. Its good to see another person from WA. on this site. Maybe me an my wife will run into you an your wife someday riding. Enjoy your spyder. Nathan in Yakima WA.
 
I know where you're coming from....I came over from a 1900cc V-twin that I triked out when my hip and knees went out, but it started to leave me on the road when I least wanted to be left out there. Then I had to wait for days for parts, just to get me and the bike back home. So I decided to get one of those God awful ugly things from CanAm called a Spyder (that my wife was riding), now....I love the dang thing, and maybe they are not as ugly as I thought, because I think mine is pretty cool looking! Ride safe and enjoy, but most of all, give yourself time to learn the bike because it is totally different that anything you have ever had. You don't "ride" it, you "drive" it.........
 
Welcome, and don’t give up on motorcycleforum.com as well (I recognize the user name). I also came to the Spyder after decades with 2 wheels but I am really glad I did so. And so is my wife as my frequent passenger. No more worries about tip overs when stopping on a slick road, no more terror when asphalt turns to gravel or dirt. It will take a while to stop reaching for a front brake lever that isn’t there, or a clutch lever. And coming too a stop without the need for putting a foot down may take awhile. Steering is not as much fun as leaning, but with a Spyder you will still be out in the wind, and still riding. Stay safe.

Welcome to the bunch, It's nice to see a NEW (hahahaha) guy to riding here. The Spyder is a different ride for sure but after you
get used to it it is great.
