• 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...

IN, CT, UT…?? I never realized Oregon was THAT big??? :roflblack::roflblack:

I guess, since there are only two or three of us with Spyders out here, it's kind of a blank sheet to use….

Well, it's over 40 & NOT raining, so time to ryde!
 
Yellow Syder Ryder....

PathFinder that was me...I was the yellow spyder near Mt. St Helens. Sorry it took so long to respond I logged in and then forgot to respond...hahahaha:2thumbs:
 
Hey USMC ... be sure to add your $0.02 regarding the local dealers. I've had a number of folks stop me and ask questions - I always send them to the forum...
 
Looks like there may be a few around - I understand there have been 40 sold by the dealers in Oregon - but you sure don't see them.

Hope you got to ride this weekend!
 
Heck, being from Oregon originally...I make people's eyes bug out, when I point out Oregon is THREE times the size of Indiana. Then I get a few grins and giggles, pointing out there are places you can ride in Oregon...and the only thing you'll see are jackrabbits mating...:joke:

Sigh...I sure miss my dear old Beaver State...:gaah:

I bought my Spyder in Bend - by far the best deal in the area - but I haven't been back over there with it yet. Probably won't until later in the season… Found some great roads around here, if anyone's interested.

I love Coos Bay & Bandon, but the weather has got to get better, before I'll head down there on a bike!!
 
Southern Oregon Spyderlovers checking in

We're in the Grants Pass/Cave Junction area, and our weekend rides take us regularly to the coast, Crescent City or Brookings; or over the hill to Happy Camp and follow the river to Yreka. Last weekend we rode from Brookings up to Bandon, then over to Roseburg and south on I-5. Anywhere within a 350 mile radius is a great day trip.

Right after we got the RT, we spotted a yellow Spyder and a few weeks later, a white one, both at the main intersection heading out towards the coast.

Our dealer (Ted @ WaterWorld in Medford) says he knows there are about 30 Spyders in this area, but we have never seen another Spyder while we've been out riding. I can see I-5 from my office in Grants Pass and have never seen one even passing by.....

. . . .but I know they're out there . . . somewhere . . . .
 
There were three of us at our "meet & greet", & I've seen one other Spyder in the Portland area. I really think most of these sit in a garage and rarely see the road.

Did the Clackamas river loop (Estacada to Detroit lake) with a couple of two wheeled friends. Was a great ride, and with the dozens of other bikes, I had the only Spyder..

I've a good friend who's ordering a RT next month from the new dealer in Boise - I'm sure he'll ride it over, when it arrives.

Someone asked about Yellowstone - the best time to go is early September. Good weather, and NO kids. Roads and motels are pretty open..
 
I was at the meet and greet. Other than that I have only seen 2 other Spyders up here. Both were RSs, one was by Nike and the other on I5 by the PIR exit.

I do know that my Spyder can only come out and play when I am not at work. Have to drive company car, M-F but Spyder is out to play on week-ends.
 
Oh, well! Better late than never.....
Bought my Black RT-S SE5 on August 25th from SK Northwest in Portland and have close to 3,000 miles on it so far. In years past, I've been an Iron Butt ryder (competed in and finished the 2001 Iron Butt Rally) and plan on putting my RT to the test. Rode it to Street Vibrations last month. Handled like a dream. Pushed it to the limit through the twisties on the way to Virginia City. Handled MUCH better than expected. Anyway, I'm here in S.E. Portland looking for excuses to ryde! :yes:
 
Hell's Canyon Rally in Baker, Or

I'll be at the Rally this June, any other Spyders planning on making that trip?:welcome:
 
8-L - that Black RT was probably mine - you may notice the changed Avatar… just couldn't get comfortable on my RS, so I sold it last fall & I got a great deal on a used RT S SE5 with 1800 miles on the clock..

BTW, what June gathering?? Where?? I'm going to go to Spydergirl's gathering in August (briefly), then back to prep for my trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons in September. Going to trailer there & spend a week in the parks on the Spyder.. :yes::clap:

The RT's headed for the shop in early March to fix a coolant leak, but any nice weather after that, I'd be up for a meet somewhere with the locals...
 
I live in Newberg with my yellow '09 RS SE5 but am currently riding around Puerto Vallarta, Mx. Will return in early April, then off to SpyderFest as a vendor and party lover. Will be looking for help in finding a good deal on a RT SE5 when I get back to Oregon. Yes is beautiful riding country.

Hi Bill and Scott. looking forward to seeing you guys.

Ride in comfort,

John

I've been ranting about moving back to Oregon, after my spouse retires. We decided against the Bend-Redmond area, as housing prices were too outrageous to consider.

Now eyeballing Wallowa County, and/or Prairie City...guaranteed I'll likely never see a Spyder in those parts.:joke:
