• 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.

Puzzled...

Okay, you Oregon Spyder ryders...where the heck are you hiding?:dontknow:

I used to live in Brookings, but moved to Indiana. That doesn't mean I've forgotten my beloved Beaver State, where I was born and raised...in Tillamook, Salem and Eugene...

welcome

I live in Tualatin & commute on the Spyder. I've seen another one - once - a long time ago - once - perhaps.... :roflblack:
 
Strange...I would have thought Spyders would be quite popular in Oregon. Heaven knows there are some superb places to ride...

:dontknow:
 
West of St Helens, Oregon

I've been riding my Spyder since last Feb. Have ridden over 7,000 miles. I have only seen 1 other Spyder on the road and that was up in Seattle. The wife and I just returned from a trip to Yellowstone and Glacier Parks (2087) miles, not another Spyder in sight. The spyder was quite the object of conversation whenever we stopped. While we were stopped in Yellowstone to take pics of some buffalo people were taking pics of us on the spyder. Ride the spyder weekly - to Portland or to the coast. Riding a spyder around here definitely makes you an odd-ball. Maybe I'll change my log-in name from Pathfinderjoe (has nothing to do with any SUV) to the -Lone Ranger.
 
Well, Lone, I had a guy stop in the middle of the street to stop me to talk about the Spyder, where did I buy it, etc... I'm sure there's another red one around, but I've only seen it once - - and, I still use my LT on long rides, even though I commute 50 miles a day on the Spyder..
 
Out of the woodwork...

When I was signing the papers for my yellow SE5, the dealer folks warned me...every place I stopped...people would come out of the woodwork, wanting to know about my Spyder. They were S-O-O-O right! Heck, I've even had drivers roll down their windows at a stoplight to ask me about it...

We are here and seem to see more and more.Sure took alot of pressure off me,ive had my Spyder since Feb 08.Even had to order from dealer in Redding no dealers in Oregon at that time.We have 5 Spyders in this area,that i know of 1 of which is a very nice lady riding a sm5.Oregon is a great place to ride any bike.On the other site Spyder Talk i had them add Oregon to there site and had little response so kinda let it go.Any body passing thru or would like some tips on good rides PM me.

Glad to hear more Spyders popping up in Oregon!:clap: I moved here from Brookings, a little over two years ago. (Why would I leave the Southern Oregon Coast, for a farm town in Indiana? Her name is Kathy.;))

As it happens, Kathy and I are considering moving from Indiana, to Central Oregon...Bend, Redmond, Prineville area. Whether it happens or not remains to be seen. I will say this: the Chambers of Commerce for that area does a VERY effective job of promoting it!:f_spider:
 
That area has some of the best bike roads in the country. I've been on most, and I've been in most parts of North America - even ridden in the Alps... (must admit that BC & Alberta have some sweet riding too...)
 
I saw one!!

I saw one!! Saw another spyder last weekend while we were riding back from Mt St Helen's. Were one of you forum readers riding a yellow spyder east of Cougar last weekend?
 
I go the other way - Live in Tualatin & work just our side of the river... Attached a Pic for next time we cross paths...
 
I live in Lincoln City. I have had my bike since Jan 09. I have only seen a few bikes in the area since Jan. Mine is Red SE5. Really great so far

pathfinderjoe -
I am planning a trip to Yellowstone the first part of June. Plan on riding our new RT, if I can get it in time. ( Need to sell GW before I can order :spyder2:) Any words of wisdom about making a trip to Yellowstone? What time of year did you go, and how was the weather? Also my wife and I were raised in southern Oregon (Cave Junction area)
 
Sypder riders???

I'm the same as you, where are the Spyder riders?
I must be the only one in Utah and a chick lol.
It is great fun to watch the heads turn to see what the heck (Utah) not that it's also bright as* yellow to lol
