• 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.

Sitting on a Spyder without asking? Anyone have this problem?

We have a cover meant to keep the seat cool. It is stretchy an attaches on the front edge of the wind wings, comes back over the bars and hooks behind the seat or trunk. Can't remember who made it, but when we get back next week I'll look. Have had no problems when I've used it. Have had mysterious foot prints when I haven't.
 
As a fellow Ohio CC license holder I can tell you that what you are doing is called MENACING. I'm sure your CC instructor explained that to you in class.You will lose your Privilege to carry and you will be arrested IF someone reports your behavior. Randy

Virginia calls it branishing... and will get you in the same trouble.
 
Seems a bit extreme and may be against the law.


In most jurisdictions it IS against the law. It is considered Menacing....serious misdemeanor/possible felony.
You are taught in CHL Classes to NOT do this !

:lecturef_smilie:
 
Yup - I've never had a problem with the Spyder Sisters Sun Shade on - it folds up, very small, and also does keep the seat from getting hot on a sunny day
 
Had this happen to me once. I asked the guy where his car was. He pointed it out to me and I went and sat on the hood of his very expensive Lexus. Boy was he pissed! I pointed out that it was no different from him sitting on my Spyder, and that kinda took the wind out of his sails. I would have rather punched his lights out, but my darling bride advised me that I really would not want to get arrested. I now have a "sunscreen" that I got from Spyder Sisters, and it not only keeps idiots from sitting on my Spyder, it has the added benefit of keeping the seat from baking in the sun. Check 'em out.:thumbup:

I also have a sunshade from Spyder Sisters. It's very quick and easy to put on and take off and it takes up very little storage room. I highly recommend it.
 
Happened twice. Both times I opened my vest to reveal my concealed carry gun. I then advise them that folks have been shot for lesser offenses!! End of discussion!!

Surely you are pulling our collective leg! I hope. If not, this is one unbelieveably stupid move. I hate to say this, but some people should have their guns taken away from them!
 
what i really really hate are the parents who watch their kids touch others property and don't say anything too them and
then get upset at you when you yell at the kid or the parent.

We came out of the pet store and a very nice man said to his little girl "don't you have something to say". In a quiet little voice " I'm sorry I sat on your motorcycle ". The father explained how she ran from the car and got on before he could say anything. We never saw it happened and never would of know. There are a few of us parents trying to teach our kids. My wife thanked the little girl for being honest and let her know she should ask before. And most people would let her sit.
 
:shocked: As a Benefactor member of the NRA... :agree: also.
If viewed in the proper context: it's just a motorcycle, and 99% of the time, no harm comes from it...
The implied threat of violence is a bit "over the top"... nojoke

They have been out of stock for months, haven't found anywhere else to get one.
 
Finless Bob video...

I ran across a Finless Bob video on youtube that shows him using a cover for an RS (I think) on an RT & it went on fairly quick. The only thing is he had to have the windshield down all the way.:yes::yes::yes::yes:
 
Our spyders were parked by the windows at Taco Bell in Cortland. While we were eating breakfast a young boy (approx. 7-8 years old) ws standing with his father staring at my mistress. They were not touching the bike only trying to get a couple pictures and were not getting close enough to get good ones. I went outside and offered to put him on the seat for a few pictures, and thanked them for respecting my property.
nojoke

Just sayin'............
 
Sit on my Bike I break your face !!

If someone was to sit on my bike I will warn them to remove themselves quickly before I break their face !!!

if you are going to do that, don't ask them not to sit on it, let them know that you believe they are trying to steal it
since no one would be stupid enough to sit on another man's bike. that way if the police come you make charges of
attempted auto theft, a felony charge.
 
I had this problem in Holland MI. After walking around town, I was headed back to the Spyder and say a man sitting on it with his child, about 3, sitting on the back seat kicking the drivers backrest.
Needless to say I came unglued.

I then purchased a Ultragard half cover for $40.00. I now leave my helmets on the seat, toss on the half cover, and walk away. I have not had anyone bother it since. Cover goes over windshield, and then has 4 hooks, I hook the rear 2 to the back fender, and the front side ones to the floor boards unless it is windy, then I hook them underneath. Quick, simple, and takes up VERY little room.
