• 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.

Ok so I'm not lurking anymore or HELLO SPYDER WORLD HOW YA DOIN?!

Hello, I'm Mike and I live in Johnson Creek, Wi. I have been looking around here for a while on and off and on again. I have a 2011 RTS color of silver with corbin saddle, IPS, spyderpops heat shields and some LED lights. 4700 miles now and having a blast I have a few questions but will post in proper thread areas. One question I do have is how long do most people keep their spyders before moving on to a new year or different design? I didn't get the limited because i couldn't wrangle the wallet to let go of the money.... oh well couple more years and maybe the spyder will get a full redesign.
 
:welcome:My response to your ?....WHAT EVER WORKS FOR YOU and your wallet....I for one make monthly payments to myself for my new Spyder...when???? when the time comes and the wallet is fat enough....:thumbup:
 
Welcome JC. My RT is four months old with only 4,000 miles. I don't ride as much as I used to. My Gold Wing trike is ten years old and hardly broken in with 61,000 miles. I love both with no plans on trading within the next ten years...maybe for my 90th birthday...:roflblack:

Welcome to a great site.

:spyder2:


 
Welcome

Welcome Mike... This is a great forum for a little bit of everything.... Good luck with your new Spyder!!

:welcome:
Not sure about others-- but I'll be keeping my 2008 GS PE Spyder--- even after I get another one some day.

Johnson Creek eh..... guessing that Rob's is your dealer?
Nice outfit---
 
:welcome:..............to answer your question, bought 2009 RS SE5 in November of '09 and 11,400 miles later bought the 2011 RT Limited in August. Love the new ryde!:2thumbs:
 
Welcome.
I also have a 2010 RT. Silver is the best color! (that'll stir em up)

Congrats on your rYde. I have 8000 trouble free miles and intend to trade when I hit 60M or so, if they have significant changes in motor size or some other feature that entices me. Right now I am satisfied with a sewing machine smooth RT and if there aren't big changes in the platform when I hit 60M, then I'll just keep on going.

I chose 60M because I think I'll end up putting 12M or so per year on it and that puts me five years out which allows me time to refill the piggy bank!
 
:welcome: to the group! We've had our 2008 Black Phantom GS since May 2010...19000 miles since then :2thumbs:. I don't think Erags will EVER get rid of our Phantom so if we ever get another :spyder2: it will probably be added to the garage collection, rather than be a replacement. Enjoy your ryding:ohyea: ...come to one of the group events and meet some of us in person!

I am planning on spyderfest, seems that super8 is the place to go, I was thinking of going to the holiday inn express (never know when you might have to stand in for a surgeon or land the space shuttle) :yikes: Though I have had my eye on a nice tow behind camper.
