• 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's and Age

I am 55 and my wife is 48. I got my Spyder because they are cool looking and I didn't think my wife would want to ride on the back of a two wheeler. Mentally I am 21 years old because I want to be able to legally drink in my little fantasy world.
 
81 !

I understand that a lot of people who are older switch to a spider because it is easier for them to ride. My question is how many younger people buy them because they are awesome? My wife and I are in our early 30's and we seem to be about the youngest ones around here. I catch tons of crap from my buddies still on 2 wheels calling me old and what not..lol TRUST ME I don't mind, I love my spyder but it got me wondering...what do you guys think the average age of a spyder rider is and for you young folks, how young are you :D

I'm 81, and so far, so good. Love my Spyder, and just bought a new rear tire.

I am 48 yrs old and am 5'2". My 2014 Spyder RT Limited gives me the touring capabilities that a traditional two-wheeled touring bike gives taller riders.
 
I couldn't tell you what the average age for Spyders is. Here in Belgium I believe it's pretty high hence the nickname old-people-bikes. :opps:

I, myself, am currently 27 and I had to switch from two-wheels to the Spyder due to medical issues. While I don't regret the switch I really do miss my 'normal' bike. My Spyder RT is awesome in its own right but there's just no way comparing it to my previous bike.

Then again I hope more people here start buying more Spyders so I'll be better accepted in the biker community here. I'm not very welcome most of the time... :banghead:
 
67, but my brain doesn't know it yet! Once in a while my body has to remind it... Love my Spyder!!!!!:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:
 
47, but who's counting

Been riding 2 wheels for 30 years. from the first time I saw a spyder, i was hook. Just took a few years to get on one. Loved it immediatly (that was only 3 weeks ago, but haven't been out of the saddle since then)
 
I think a spyder lover weight loss challenge is in order from the videos I've seen of the events:roflblack:



You are correct my dear "Watson" I resemble that remark but just wait till you reach those years and see if you can still call the "kettle" black.
:joke:

Riding continuously since age 11. Now 76 and riding both leaners and three wheelers just not doing 600 mile days anymore. I ride leaners with a guy who is 86 and is in

better shape than most 50-60 year olds. For you folks from PHX his name is Tex Earnhardt. He owns 20+ car dealerships and is still running them along with his family. When I grow up I want to be just like him.
:yes::yes::yes:

35 here. I do remember when the Spyders were coming out and thought how cool they were, so different. But at the time I just didn't have the money to pony up for one. Going camping, jetskiing, and bowling pretty much took priority on expendable income. Since my DH isn't interested in motorsports, I saw the Spyder as a better option if I wanted to venture out on my own. God forbid if you have to do it, but picking up a two-wheeler by yourself is not my idea of fun. :-) But my 2015 F3S certainly is.
