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.

I just don't understand what gawkers? No actually I also enjoy talking to people. Its not like I can hide my bike! If I am in a hurry I give short answers and excuse myself. If they trap me getting ready to leave I give a little info speech ending with showing them reverse. I then give a little wave and drive off. Since I have put on the graphics and the two brothers I have had several Harley riders comment they did not think much of the stock bikes they had seen but they could get into mine. I told them a bike is what you make of it. One guy asked if it was my sons (I don't have a son) I told him no he drives a Toyota Echo, then had to laugh at the look on his face.
I had this handy cover made to pull over it when I park and leave for a while.

Great idea! A BLAZING Red cover over an obviously unique machine with a BRIGHT Red fender sticking out each side and one huge car tire sticking out the back.
You have hit on the best NON-Attention getter idea I've seen so far. Like, who would even notice?! :roflblack:

Today I had to go to the county court house---- I was standing in line when one of the court house lady's came over to ask about the spyder.---she said that her office saw me drive up and they made her go find out what it was.They also told her not to touch it for fear of what a biker might do. When she told me that I had to smile----so I told her to go out and sit on it. (She is now a hero in her office). I went out to catch her in the act and give her some of the fold out cards form the dealership.
Yepper I like having a spyder.

When I bought mine I believe I was the second one in this area. About 2 weeks into Spyder riding I saw the other Spyder going the other direction. I turned around and caught up with him as he was getting off in the Commissary parking lot. His first comment to me was "Thank God someone else bought one to take some of the pressure off me". With about 6 or 7 Spyders in this area it is getting better and I don't mind explaining the Spyder anyway.

I like people coming over to talk about the Spyder. It is one of the best attributes of the bike. I have met a lot of people I would not normally have because of this bike.
I am rarely in a hurry but if I am, leaving the helmet on is usually enough of a deterrent.
I was once stopped at a service station in West Texas and this guy comes up to me and says, "How is number 610 running today?' I did not know this guy or have any idea of how he knew me.
It turns out we were staying at the same motel, two days prior, still in Texas, and his wife had talked to me about the bike. They had been seeing me on the road for two days and we happened to stop for fuel at the same place.
He was a retired Air Force chaplain and we had a nice conversation about a lot of things that had nothing to do with a Spyder.
Its all good.

We were out for a ride yesterday, and trying to get back home. We saw the one other Spyder in town at the Hardees, so stopped in to say to the 76 year old owner and see how he was doing. We left and rode about 3 minutes when a Harley rider came out from a side street and flagged us down. We ended up talking for nearly an hour, and finished the ride home in the dark.

The funniest question I ever got was from my neighbor, who had been putting down some sudds with his drinking buddy.
When I got it home, my neighbor across the street, who is from Illinois and spends the winters here at his beach home. Came over with his drinking buddy and asked where I had the conversion done? I said conversion?? He said yea, wasn't it a snowmobile? Laughing, I said its a new model out about a year now. He said I'll be :cus: what will they think of next! I could have sworn it used to be a snowmobile, I've had enough of them.
