• 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.

Open letter (post) to Spyderlovers

Lance and I (Mike) from down under had the best time at your Spyderfest. I can’t tell you how much we appreciated your hospitality, kindness and how welcome you made us feel. Len & Lamont lent us bikes for the duration of our stay, however, we did break Murphy Browns old bike, sorry about that...thanks very much. Also the Mogang, thanks guys, you are a hoot.

We met the most entertaining and friendly folks. There were so many, I just can’t remember them all. We drank and laughed into the early morning hours with Clappy Joe, Cruzin Jim, Hot Arse, the Mogang, a few people from the cast of ‘Swamp People’ :roflblack: We spoke about mutual Spyder enthusiasts, Bob Denthead, Freddy Freckle, and a few others :roflblack:I hope I got all the names right, if not, I’m sure you know who you are. We also met an unusual enthusiast who liked to collect cameras in the most bizzare fashion :roflblack:

It was a pleasure meeting you all and a honour to be asked to judge the best Spyders at the Spyderfest . We hope to catch up with all you folks again. Take care

Cheers

Mike & Lance from SpyderMates Down Under

Good to hear..!!

could not attend but know you had a great time because they are a great bunch. Come again and bring a friend..!! :yes::yes:
 
It was great getting to know both of you. There were some good times indeed!

When y'all get back to Oz, you need to mix up a batch of jelly shots and demonstrate the proper etiquette for ingesting them.
 
Yazz don't know if they have jello down under! Mike never did learn the art of Jell-O shots.

I was able to get Mike's scarf hone with me!!
 
It was great meeting the "Boys from down under" and OJ from the UK, and a few of the Canadians. Would love for them to be back next year or maybe we could all go there. :yes:
 
We didn't meet this time...but be sure we will on the next go around ...take care

I'm sorry I missed meeting you guys. I hope you'll come back next year.

Do you have any rallies like Spyderfest in Oz? It would be fun to compare notes.

Lived in Brisbane for two years. They call Jello, Jelly.

Nope, Mike never did learn the art of Jello shots! LOL He was a good sport though.

Loved his scarf! Not going to ask how you got it. :rolleyes:

Was awesome meeting you at Buckingham's

My wife and I really enjoyed meeting you and talking to you in the parking lot at Buckingham's BBQ! You stopped by to comment on our bright LED's on our fenders etc., and we spoke of restaurants and "tipping" and all that. At the time you were taking a TAXI everywhere and I am so thankful to know you got something else to spend time on while here in the U.S.

We knew a lot of people come from all over to SPYDERFEST-but when you said "Good Day Mate!" and said you were here for the event from Australia, we were truly amazed and shocked and for us it was an honor to have met you and to have shook hands with you.

Thank you for talking to us and hope your trip back was good---it is so good to know there is a lot of good in the world still---and from all corners of it too.

God Bless and thank you again! ;)
 
Mike, it was a pleasure. I will be working to name the next barrel batch in honor of my friends from Oz....
Maybe ..."down under" yep... that is where it put ya...:yes:

Looking forward to hanging out with Y'all again!!!!! by the way... you are not supposed to be looking at my arse....

hot arse
