• 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.

Opinion please!

Although they should have never done that without your permission you have to give them 10 out of 10 for effort. They obviously thought your spyder was top notch, good enough to promote their dealership. But all said and done they should not have touched your spyder.

Wonder what else they swapped, do you still have the Elkas :dontknow:

Harry

Thanks Harry! Thats the first thing I checked!!:thumbup:LOL!
 
Ron, I can't believe I just sat here and watched that entire Flash Mop!! Must have been a dozen times over the past two years! Now I'm ready for Christmas shopping...:clap:

Yes, I like that one. Spontanious good, not enough of that these days.
 
It was generous of them to "wash" your spyder. However, they shouldn't have changed or removed anything of off your spyder without permission. It was definately disrespectful. You could always mail it back with a nice note; questioning if this is actually your spyder since you noticed the difference in the plaques.:D Dale
 
Not a nice thing to do without asking; I'd compare it to putting a kid holding a melting ice cream cone in your saddle and taking pictures while you're in a diner getting lunch.. :gaah:
 
Uh, did you get Federal Offence punishable by death from my post??

:roflblack:.........no I edited my post I have no idea why I posted your quote.............doh! Actually reading your post I think you and I are pretty close to being on the same page.

Sorry about that :opps:
 
Thanks for everyones opinion! I think the majority think the same as me" nice for the complimentary wash, put leave my Syder alone" Anyway could have been much,much worse! At least my spyder is home safe in the basement.

Just came back fom SpyderMania in Jolliette,Quebec. Great bunch of people and fantastic riding!Here is where I would like peoples opinion. Yesterday we went on a 300km(186mi) ride, we had the odd rain shower and some construction/gravel roads. Our last stop of the ride was a dealership (no names) and one of the guys in the group asked the service guy if there was a car wash we could take our spyders to rinse the crap off. He said no need they would hose our spyders down:clap:. I thought that was pretty cool of them and would have given them a shout out here, but! When I woke up this morning and took the cover off, my wife said that is not our lincense plate plaque, seems after they washed it and when I was not looking (which was very seldom) they had changed my dealers palque with theirs:dontknow:!! I don't allow my dealer to put stickers on my spyder, but the plaque I allowed as I am happy with them and figure I could leave that little ad! I was not pleased they never asked if they could do this, so when I got home after a washing I took it off and will ask my dealer for a new one when I am in next. Some people at SpyderMania said that it was disrespectful, some who use that dealer laughed it off! I was just wondering what members of spyderlovers thought! On a positive note SpyderMania was fantastic:2thumbs::2thumbs:!

Who cares, save the gripe for something important. The dealer gives you nothing for his free ad on your machine so you owe them nothing. A free wash job is worth it, you can throw the thing away anytime.
 
No more free washes

I just hope the dealer is reading this and learns not to do anything nice for unappreciative Spyder owners.

I would not compare this to a kid eating ice cream on your Spyder. That is just a plain Stupid comparison.

Blueknight911,

I live in NC and if you think you have the balls to walk on to my farm and touch anything of mine, you should PM me for my full physical address and we can let the rest of the forum know what happened when my dogs finish licking up your remains from the gravel. :)

???? Not sure if you agree or do not agree??
 
I always remove that stuff

Ever since I can remember I have always removed any and all dealer logos, Lic.plate frames and such
I figure this way... they are not paying me to advertise for them so why would I want their name on my
car,truck, bike etc.
Put some nice custom Lic plate frame on and end of story...

Actually ended up turning their plaque around (plain white surface) and put a sticker of a spyder on it. Looks better then a dealer plate!

Congrats on your 8th post showing us what a tough guy you are with your keyboard !!!! :thumbup: He was pointing out if you don't mind people touching other peoples Spyder without them knowing, than you shouldn't care if someone touched yours. Obviously, we all can see your HYPOCRITICAL double standard from your response to his post.

Lighten up Francis.


I would be ticked off. I went to Cowtown and got some work done. They did great work and gave me a great deal. Had they put one of their Cowtown stickers on my bike without asking, they would have taken it right back off.

I live in NC too. However, we're all not aholes.
 
I feel left out now

I'm I not good enough to advertise your dealership ?

I bought my RT from Stamford Motorsports, exceptional dealer, I have it serviced locally at Bobs Skidoo another exceptional dealer. While at SITA I had some work done at Roberts Motorsport yet another exceptional dealer. Yet not one as put a plaque on my Spyder, with or with out my concent. I just have a plan license plate with no pretty plaque.

I feel left out, I feel... Well like Randy felt inbetween Teddy and Blueknight911 at SITA, ignored.

Where do I get a Spyderlovers license plate plaque, Teddy as one I want one.
