• 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.

Still puts a smile on my face....

Being the peak riding season is also our peak business season, I do not usually get very much time to ride any of my bikes. :(

Most times they sit much more than they ever get ridden, the Spyder as well.

Last evening after installing the BRIGHTSIDES and new Day Runner Pucks I took the SM5 out for a test ride.

About half way into the ride I realized that I was really smiling as I rode the Spyder around town. That now after almost 3 seasons it still makes me smile as I ride it. :D

I know the Spyder has it's growing pains as many new products have, but this is one of the few bikes I have that now after 40 years of riding still makes me smile just riding it around town. :ohyea:

I know this reverse trike concept will continue to grow going forward, and can see a reverse 3 wheeler in my garage for quite some time.

It's nice to know that overall I made the right choice in the Spyder to have fun while riding 3 years ago. :thumbup:

I really miss not ryding this year. I am hoping that my hip is good for next season. I'll be major bummed if I only get it serviced and ready to go only to have to sell it.

So here's to the Spyder and all the fun in brings to our lives!!
 
"Still puts a smile on my face...."

No truer words have ever been spoken. Since I have owned my Spyder I have to force myself to ride the HD. My Spyder has been out of commission for almost two weeks because a deer wanted a close up and personal look at my Spyder. I didn't think it would be that bad being without, after all I have the Sporty just sitting there in the garage. I rode the Sportster all last week to work, took it out for a long ride last Saturday and it hasn't been out of the garage since. It just doesn't do it for me anymore. Just counting the days until Spydy returns home.
