• 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.

SHOCKED in a good way

So back this spring I started looking at bikes, one of the bikes I looked at had a solo seat and the better half said that that suited her just fine, there is no way in heall she would get on the back. My love is not a wind your face kinda gal, she didnt like the jeep convertible and didnt like the jet ski and perfers the sunroof closed on the car, where I am like a big ole hound and perfer sticking my head out the window. So two weekends ago I said "So if I borrow my buddies' wife's helmet would you go for a quick tour around the hood?" She agreed just to shut me up. Her response to how was it was "I didnt hate it as much as I thought I would."

Thursday I got home from work and the first thing she says is "lets go helmet shopping". So after the weekend she now has a full face lid, a riding jacket and all I hear now is "When are we going riding?":clap:

Also it was mentioned last night that she wouldnt mind going to a empty parking lot to get some behind the bars experience.:yikes:
 
That's the way it goes. If you can get someone on a :spyder2: for a short intro ride, you will find they turn into :spyder2: lovers. Take it slow and easy on the first real rides--in particular the corners. :clap:

Don't want to be loosing any passengers!

Sorry...yes I got a RS in May, and I love it and now she does too. I have found that it a different dynamic with a passenger and I find myself taking corners extra slow...at least for now;)
Yep, don't want to go loosing any passengers! "Two" have to become "One!"
 
Looking into my crystal ball and seeing two Spyders in your garage soon. :D

Congrats on both Y'all enjoying the wind in your face!
 
next thing she will get her license and take your Spyder..ask me how I know I am looking for another two wheeler now.

I can relate, as the same thing happened with my wife. Said she would never get on my spyder, and now wants to go for a ryde every Saturday night (she works evenings, and I work days). Yes, she also talks about the day we get either a RT or another RS. :clap::clap::clap:
 
This totally happened to me a little to . my wife started riding last year and bought a 2010 Ninja 250r . She hit a pot hole and her rear tire stepped out on her and she called it quits .. now we still have her damn bike. But i bought my spyder this year and she feels so much safer on it espically with the back rest . but she is still squirmish on it cause you can feel her twitching when brake lights in front of me go on lol.
