• 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.

Spyder RT Rentals - Where?

Well.....
I got tired of waiting and I am a little bit impetuous; so I am pulling the trigger and simply putting my deposit down on a 2022 RT Limited in Petrol Blue.
What better way to commit than jump in with both feet.

The Spyders seems to be holding their value well enough that this wont be the most expensive mistake I have ever made - even if we don't love it.
Shoot, one of our local dealers is trying to sell a used 2021 for more than I'm paying for the 2022.

Now to drop another small fortune in new helmets and gear.
But my favorite (paraphrased) line from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; "It's only money and they print more of it everyday"
 
About two years ago, I went to my local Can-Am dealer to hopefully test ride a Spyder. I told the salesman that I ride a Harley, been riding for years, and have my motorcycle endorsement on my driver's license. He said, "Sure, you can test ride one, but you're restricted to our parking lot".

I was like, "What ?? What kind of bull**** test ride is that ??"

He said, "Sorry, that's just our policy".
The past Chapter Director of the local GWRRA chapter related a story where a couple of seasoned two wheel riders went into a Honda dealership and each bought a trike. The salesman told them to do some runs around the parking lot to get the hang of things. Their response was something like, "We been riding for years. We know how to ride and don't need to do any parking lot practice!" A few minutes later one had smacked the side of the dealership building and the other was in the ditch by the exit!
