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.

I am a new Spyder owner...3+ hours from Spokane..would be a great ride either way!!
I was wondering when I would get a response from this post?LOL...Great to hear from you and welcome new Spyder owner. How are you enjoying your new ride? Dumb question I know. I love mine so much the poor Harley just sits in the garage for show now. Whereabouts are you located? What dealer did you buy your Spyder from? And 3 hrs isn't that far away, I rode mine 1240 miles to get mine home.LOL...Keep in touch and some wkend we should meet up for a ride and some Spydertalk.
When do we start?
Sounds like a good plan to me. Let's see how many Spyders we can get together at one time. That would be quite a sight! Might even make the local news.HaHa..

Sorry, haven't been home for awhile. I guess that's what being a truck driver does for you. I usually have weekends off so I'm open to ideas. I'm also going to be on vacation the 2nd week of July. I know of only 3 spyders here in Spokane. I know there's a few more because the dealer here has sold all he has and waiting for more to come in. Don't know where they're at, haven't seen them on the street and believe me I cruise this entire area. I don't think these new spyder owners know of this site yet. I'll contact the one's I know of here and see what they think and tell them they need to get on here. Been thinking of posting a flyer at the dealership here, if they'll let me, and advertise a possible ride thru the state of Washington. Might be a good idea to do that at the rest of them too? Tell me what you think of that. Keep the hope alive.
My wife and I will be up in your neck of the woods on June 12 getting some service done on our Spyders at Roundy's. Love to meet up with a follow spyder rider. We are from the Tri-Cities and as for a ride I am always looking for some one to ride with. Just give a yell when and where. thanks-Redneck
Your map covers a pretty wide area of the state. This looks like more than a weekend ryde. Any way of condensing it down to a more central locations? I do have one suggestion, instead of going up thru Walla Walla way, we could go up 395 N to Spokane thru Tri-Cities. There was once a dealer in Kennewick that is closed down now but some spyders were sold in that area. Have to admit, you did include some very beautiful areas of the state to ryde thru. Let me know what you think, would really like to see this happen sometime this summer.
I can meet up with you
I'm open for that date to meet up. What type of service are you doing to your Spyder's? Are you riding up or are you trailering them? I know of only 2 others here in the Spokane area and will give them a call and see if they're open to meet up too. That would be 5 Spyders in the town of Spokane!! Spokane won't know what to think of that.LOL...Roundy's has sold all they have but don't know where they're all at. Last time I was in there, they only had 1 RT left and they wanted to keep it for show. One of the only dealers I know that won't let anyone do a demo ride before you buy. They say something about liability and insurance reasons because of the trike endorsment needed to ride in Washington, so I'm still a little leary about them. Don't know much about their service dept. and was hoping to see how others made out with service or repairs. You will be the first I know that is having anything done there and will be very curious on how everything worked out for you. Have a safe ryde up to Spokane...

That sounds great!! Where do you live? I'll bet you're on the west side, aren't you? I'm open to ryding back your way on your way home too..How many do you think would want to ryde over from your side? I know of only 2 here plus the couple coming over from Tri-Cities for their service. I will talk to Roundy's and see If I can put something on their bulletin board and see if we can muster up a few more for this. Looks like we might have a ryde!!!! Let me know when you find out more..
It sounds like we may just have a run in the making. My wife and I should be up at Roundy's around 9A.M. Saturday. We need to have our parking brakes adjusted. Something about the wife having to chase her Spyder accross the parking lot when her brake let go. After that we are game for anything as long as we are back home Sunday afternoon. thanks-redneck

Sorry to hear that, Rick. Family comes first, we can always ride some other day. Take care.
Not good having to chase down your Spyder after you set your parking brake!!! Adjusted my own and sprayed some WD-40 on the mechanism and cured my problem. Mine had a tendency not to want to release, and was beginning to be a bit of a pain in the you know what. I can meet up with you at Roundy's on Saturday morn. Truck85 had to cancel due to a death in the family. Sorry to hear about his loss. There will be other opportunities in the future to meet up with him. Might have one other but not sure if he can make it yet, so looking like just me.LOL...I'll see you around 9 on Saturday and have a safe ryde up to Spokane...
