• 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.

Spyders becoming popular or not?

Wow, I'm beginning to see a spyder on the road about once a month now. However, I also hear dealers are dropping the line or closing their doors. Which way do you think this is going to go? As owners, do you think we own a valuable commodity or a dinosaur? Just wondering.
 
My take is that we have a commodity that is valuable in the form of enjoyment. All things pass, but with the Spyder coming to it's 20th anniversary, in 2027, lets hope it continues on. There is STILL nothing like it on the road.
 
Same here in Maine, I see the brand all the time! I my book it's getting more popular as the years go by! I love mine and would not swap it for any other model, the two wheels in front for me is the way to go, I ride with other trikes and watch how they corner and hit bumps, no doubt at all two up forward is the better choice!! :cool: :cool: Yes there is a lack of good shops to take them to and yes dealerships are dropping out for whatever reasons and there's causes for that, if the shop was any good to start with may be one cause, and the way that BRP's handling business with their dealers may have some cause in the equation also! My 2 cents!
 
Who cares whether it's popular or not? As long as I can get parts for it and receive quality service beyond my capabilities that are pretty good, I don't care a whit. I bought in part for the bride and me when her RA finally killed a very long bicycling career. She didn't really care much for it but is gracious enough to give me a very long leash, 100K+ miles.
