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.

Great. Keep us posted. There are lots of great places to ride. Loved the volcanos, the "farm" country, and even the bar at the most southerly location in America.

opcorn: A question to ponder.Which one of us is going to move to the Hawaiian islands, Open up a :spyder2: dealership and rental agency, service all the main islands with rental :spyder2:'s for the tourists, and sell :spyder2:'s to the locals. A couple million or so for start up costs and away we go.
How's this for an interesting vibe: As I finished typing this post, the Hawaiian Wedding song came on the radio. Sorry, I listen to an oldies station on my radio.

Not to deviate from the shared happiness, but one question: is this Spyder being shipped to Hawaii for a long vacation/extended stay, or is it really going to be based there full-time?
Because yeah, I'd too would be concerned about servicing the Spyder. I mean, there's a literal ocean separating you from a BUDS hookup.
And as even Lamont can tell you thanks to his BRP mechanics course, even the best motorcycle mechanic can get stumped by the requirements of fixing the items most unique to the Spyder. Put a couple thousands of miles of water between you and the nearest dealer... :yikes:
More power to ya, can't wait to see the pics, but... yeesh, you are a braver soul than Iray:

ray:Spyder will be full time Haole.
We will be there at least 6 months of the year. We are growing Dragon Fruit at 3,000 feet on the side of Mauna Loa, approx. 50 miles South of Kona. Pics after March.

I am from Kailua on Oahu and just returned from being there for a week. I too while there was saying the same thing but location and
maintance would be an issue. Then there is the inter-island shipping on Young Bros. and the extra expense. Since I just got back yesterday I haven't had chance to try and figure out a business plan but will. I also lived in Kona for 6 yr and know that HD and Honda would have a fit. I think it's doable, will stay in touch.

There's a Spyder rental place on Maui. How do they get service?

Some of this thread goes back to 2012.
Current: 2014
Update on the latest that I know:
Our friend Rando, who went to Maui within the last 6 months, said that Maui Scooter was no longer renting the Spyder. The reason given was they are to difficult to service.
I rented one from them a year ago August, and it was in pretty tough shape--but I liked it anyway. The Hana Highway was the perfect all day ride.
I have been unable to find Spyder rentals on any of the other Islands--but have not looked in the last 6 months.
I did see one other private use Spyder while I was on Maui.
HD and mini scooters seem to be the big rentals in Hawaii.
