• 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.

"Pearl" is now in our garage!

wow, this thing is gynormous.

I am wondering if most people are able to keep their Spyders in their garage or do they have to make some type of outdoor arrangements. We did all the measurements, so we knew what to expect, but boy when you pull it into the garage it seems to expand....I think it's actually bigger than one of those SMART cars.......length-wise for sure !

We manage to squeeze two Spyder RTs and either our Fiat Abarth or VW Jetta wagon in our garage. Plenty of room with the Abarth but not so much extra space with the Jetta although there is still walk-around room. The Spyders take pride of place regardless.
 
The funny thing is about 30% of the people that name their white Spyder name it pearl. It is a nice color but you folks are going to take each other's Byke home by mistake, they all answer to the same name.

It is bigger than a Smart car.

I have a two car attached garage. I store my two :ani29:'s, my Vulcan 900, a large snowblower, a riding lawnmower--AND--my Subaru Outback wagon. Very cozy, but it works. I can get at both :spyder2:'s and the car without any jockeying around. Going into summer mode shortly. Car outside and three motorcycles and the rider lawnmower at the ready. :yes:

Ah, Arion, your avatar of the triskelion from the Isle of Man. We are F1 and MotoGP fanatics, but the IOM TT is our favorite event of the year. Jeff has two of the Arai IOM helmets (2013 and 2017) and wears them interchangeably. i think he's starting a collection. This year is going to be very interesting with John McGuiness on a bike built by Michael Dunlop in the 600 class...

Seeing that event live is definitely on our bucket list.

do you know if Velocity TV will have nightly 1 hour updates like they did last year?
