• 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 Sightings

SpyderSue said:
Okay - I have a question. I see so many posts in this thread, and yet most are not answered. I've seen quite a few Spyders in my travels, whose riders I'd like to acknowledge and contact, but feel like I'll never get an acknowledgement. So...not being contrary, but what's the point?

I would respond if someone posted that they saw me, but nobody ever does. That's what I get for putting that stealth wrap on my Spyder :riding:

Earlier in the thread some people acknowledged that they were probably the Spyder mentioned in the post.
But think of the odds.
There are roughly, what maybe 120,000 Spyders on the road. There are roughly 20,000 members on this site.
Right there, at best, there is a 1 in 6 chance that the other ryder is even a member.
How often is this thread reviewed ??
There are roughly 250,000 views. That means that every member may ave looked at this thread about 12 times in 6 years.
As I said, there were some acknowledgments early on, but as the thread gets larger and as the Spyder population grows, it just seems less and less likely that the two parties would match up.
Just my thoughts. I could be wrong.
 
I see a guy on a white rs? 3 times a week as we pass each other. I dont think he is on here though.
Last week the people i met at the gas station in wareham are also not on here. Told them about us, but.

I agree with this thinking, while I look at the spyder sightings (when it comes up on the what's trending list) I don't seek it out. I actually think this topic could work better and get a lot more activity if it was broken into states of where the sighting took place. This way, one wouldn't have to sift to the end of the 50 page list and read posts of sightings that were 1000 miles away them when they are seeking sightings in their area.
 
After all this time,I finally got a response on here on this topic. We have been known to drive through 5 states in one go and never spot another Spyder. When I do run across other Spyders,usually at a gas stop, I have yet to encounter anyone who is on here. So I give them the info and welcome to join the fun.

There's nothing to stop you posting a "Spyder Sightings" thread in a state-specific forum. That may be a good idea. Then I can watch the threads for the states I've been ryding in. I usually ignore this thread, and only review it occasionally.

Yesterday I saw two Spyders coming the other way while riding around Saguaro Lake. I was in the middle of a pack of about 30 two-wheelers, and I was pleased to see all the riders ahead of me waving to the Spyder riders. The Spyder riders each had their arms out with the wave as we passed. Not sure if they noticed me or not since I was blended in with the two-wheelers.

Blue RT riding 2 up on I30 West today (Lancaster PA) around 3:15pm. There was a white or silver web on the frunk in the upper corner; the tag was Ana 1 or Ava 1 (difficult to see).

I saw one on Sunday morning on a back road when I was headed into Fredericksburg Pennsylvania. I think it may have been an RS. Gave him a 3 fingered wave from the car. Not sure he saw it.:yes::yes::yes::yes:
