• 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?

Rather than use THAT picture :shocked:; I have found that if you put your favorite "Miss July" in place: they'll still be there when you return to your Spyder! :roflblack:
 
Too Extreeme?

$15 eBay 24" spiked dog collar. I removed the buckle and associated hardware, then connected the ends with a 12" length of bungee. Easily slips over the seat, and when the seat is lowered it's captured and can't be moved/removed without the key.
I believe the average person would read it as a "Do not sit here sign".

Is there any way that somebody with "bad intentions", could use that collar to damage your seat or paint? :dontknow:
 
Great thread

I suspect I may react in an unpleasant manner if I found someone sitting on my Spyder, but, most likely I would engage in a conversation. The end may be something like, "And, why the #^%$^$ do you think you can just sit on someone else's property without suffering consequences.

OK, the real solution is probably one of those seat covers, and as noted previously, keeps the black seat from getting so very hot.
 
A few friends have mentioned that this has happened to them. They walk out of a store and someone is sitting on their Spyder snapping away with their phone. Is there a way to prevent people from sitting on a Spyder when the owner isn't around? If you have had a similar experience leave your story here if possible!
If you have your Bars turned and locked that should prevent somebody from getting on easily.
 
Happened to me one time, young couple taking pictures of their little cuttie pie sitting on my spyder. I asked what they thought they were doing, and why did they think they could just put someone on my trike. They said they thought the trike was cool and were just taking a picture or two with their child on it and weren't hurting anything and to basically chill. I asked them where their vehicle was. The man pointed to a fancy SUV right beside my trike. I smiled, walked over to the drivers door, it was unlocked, so I got in and got my cell phone out. He comes over opens the door and starts yelling to get out of his car and what the hell did I think I was doing. I politely told him I was just taking a selfie of me in a cool SUV, and wasn't hurting anything....she grabbed the kid off my trike and................I think he got it.:thumbup:
