• 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.

Rating for Spyderfest

One man opinion

I am new to the Spyder world. This was the second rally that I have been to. The first was Spyder in the Ozark. I had just got my Spyder. I had more fun at the first one, because I met some people to ride with. I did meet 1 person at Spyderfest but it was half over. I am going to give it a 2.5. I stayed at the CourtYard. Have no clue who the host was. There were no parties that I am aware of. Was not real happy about the cost of the room. The weather was a big factor also.

Maybe in the future they could get the newbie together and introduce each other. I am a single rider so I don't have another person or rider to be with. Most of the game I could not do because I was single. I did have a lot more fun at the other rally I went too even though the people I met was with 2 married couples. They were great. I understand these rally are built around the couple idea since that is the majority of the riders. I was able to get some things done on the bike and get an ext warranty since my home dealer is a di**head.(Bradford Marine) My plan right now is to go to Spyder in the Ozark again and hopefully the Broken Arrow rally.

Tgere was a party every night at the courtyard out by the fire, sorry you didn’t find it.
 
traveled for Virginia

We didn't make any friends, but we time to meet and chat with a few other couples about issues, travels, Spyder Rider age, Spyder rider sex, just fun topics that when you meet the right people its makes the day.

We made it this year for the first time, we had travel plans to take us up to Rapid City, Yellowstone, Tetons, and back south to Utah, and hope back home safe. During the planning for this long trip late last year it was known to me that Spyderfest was a possible with some slight route changes.

Anyway we found the location at the ROCK (three trips) to be a nice little ride from our camping location at the KOA. The vendors had some of the things we whats to add so that worked out (F4 and wind vents for legs)

We don't think we will be back, Maggie Valley NC this again this year with some our riding friends in Virginia. Love the mountains, hills and turns.

But the group of people who ride Spyders are from all walks of life, safe travels everyone

We did not make it to the Fest this year.

We did recently meet up with Netminder & his spouse when they came on a visit to Alaska this week. They are on a tour and were heading out to see all the "good stuff" this week. They are going to spend over a week enjoying the sights before heading back to Canada. We always enjoy meeting up with other members of the site. I can honestly say, we have never met a member we did not like in the eight years we have been on the site.

I am sure that is the case for Spyderfest and other group gatherings. :yes:
 
If I was to rate spyderfest for what pitbull does I would say a big fat 0
If I go to spyderfest to see Lamonster garage, spyderpops, and Sara a big fat 10

I give that rating on pitbull because I dont like dealing with crooks and dishonest people ready to rip people off at any chance available. I do not attend ANY pitbull functions.


I'm with you on the Pitbull thing. I wanted to purchase one of their F3's on their website. Could not even get them to return several voice mails or emails. I finally gave up and purchased from my local dealer. I was disappointed since so many rave about them.

On the Spyderfest thing, I don't go, its to early in the year for me. It is still snowing that time of the year in Colorado.

I didn't get to attend spyderfest, wanted too, and will in the future. But I did attend the 3 wheeler rally in Deadwood SD this year which had over 195 spyders in attendance. That was a blast. But what makes it fun is to meet new people and ride the rides. It was so much fun to associate with my fellow "homies" on spyders. Being mainly in Harley Country I think there is only 4 or 5 spyders in my area, and I own 2 of them. Like a fellow commenter stated, you make your own fun. But we're all up for the task.:clap::clap::clap::clap:
 
maybe closer to Va also

I see you are pretty new to Spyderlovers so you may not be aware that Spyderfest is put on by Pitbull Powersports and they are located in Missouri so it will always be held there. There is a rally being held in October in Maggie Valley, NC and there was one in August in Greenville, SC. A large rally called Spyderquest is held in Lake George, NY in September. So I’d say there are a few located in the Eastern Time Zone.
 
I have been to Spyderfests in the past(2013 & 2014) I would rate these a 4.

I did met new spyder friends, and visited the vendors/and Pit Bull dealership.
