• 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.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a new older female owner of a 2009 RS Spyder as of last October (2010), but I haven't ridden much due to the weather. I was looking for spyder information and your site popped up-- AND since then, I've been reading threads and learning all kinds of great stuff. Yay!!

As for a reference, I'm also pretty new to motorcycles, though I've been to S. Dakota week before rally 3 years in a row usually as the chase car driver (and carrier of the cooler and food). LOL Two years ago, I passed the motorcycle safety class so I'm really excited to now own a bike.

My bike is silver/black. Is there anyway to jazz up my spyder with cool graphics without it costing my left arm? :chat: I've been to e-bay and those designs are very busy looking. What I like is clean lines, flames, spiders. <--Yet I don't want to overwhelm the bike with a ton of them.

I'd like my bike to be a cool orange, yellow, or red, but I know the cost is really high to change.

Anyone have any suggestions or places to go either locally or online? I live near St. Louis.

Thanks.
 
Welcome to the Hood

:welcome: & :congrats:

Sorry, Teddy has no connections in the St.Louis area, but I'm sure someone who does will chime in shortly:thumbup:

Teddy & I just wanted to WELCOME you to the SPYDERHOOD :2thumbs:
 
:congrats: & :welcome: We will be heading out to your neck of the woods at the end of April before going to Spyderfest in Cuba.

We have friends that live in Park Charles South. We will be staying there during that time.
 
:welcome:

The first site mentioned above has kits for just trunks, if you don't want your spyder to look too busy with graphics.
 
I forgot to mention, my licence tag is SPYDR, too. I bought the bike from the previous owner who had the tag and he released it to me. :ohyea: He also included some extras like a touring windshield, two helmets, a full cover, battery charger, a bike rest, and even included oil so when I go to change it, I'll already have that in stock. :2thumbs: Plus he sold the spyder for only what he had left to pay on it. I'm very lucky, thus the name!!!

My daughter's boyfriend owns a black spyder, his sister (my age) also owns one. Now me. Yay! Can you tell I'm excited? My daughter usually rides the spyder as her boyfriend has a couple other motorbikes he rides, which is how we went to S. Dakota so often. LOL

At this point, we are planning on going to Spyderfest in April/May.

Wow! That's close to where I live... 3-4 miles maybe. I look forward to meeting a lot of people when we go to Cuba, too, this year. :D Though I think we're not right now planning on spending the night in Cuba, just riding back and forth. Maybe I could talk hubby in spending at least one night as it's at least a two hour ride.
 
I know in my area we have a couple of people who do custom vinyl graffics for real reasonable prices. The one guy does anyting you want, just tell him what you want and he will design it. He does pin stripe, etc. You may want to check your area for this service. Good luck.

:welcome: and :congrats: Are you excited yet? :D


Are you serious!!!!!! Heck, yeah!! I got a chance on Friday when the temperatures spiked to 70 degrees to take the spyder out ..first time since November. :D

It was AWESOME. :2excited:

Okay, so I only got gas and took it to our local motorcycle place to have the recall on DPS fixed, but still. It was so nice to get out and get some fresh air! ;)
 
Nice to have you here.

Hello Spydermelucky! Glad to have you here. I live in St. Louis, MO near Ted Drewes on Chippewa but may be moving shortly to Cedar Hill, MO. Out highway 30. Nice to hear of all the Spyders in your family.
Spyderdetailing.com is where I got my American Flag Wrap but you may find it "too busy." ;) But check them out anyway, maybe they have less as well. The nice thing about them is if I ever got any part of my wrap damaged, they would send me a replacement piece. took me between 6 & 7 hours to install. I paid $279 plus shipping.
 
:welcome: We have a run coming up in Aug. to benefit Camp Hope which is a rehab facility for disabled veterans in Farmington Mo. The ride will start in De Sota and I will post something as it gets closer on the MO page. Take care and ryde safe, Bill
