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.

To each their own is the way I see it, but the child in question is NOT MY OWN, so this is a risk I choose NOT to take, except, as I stated, around the side streets in her neighborhood at no more than 10mph & her father is fine with that, as am I.

Hopefully we can get it done & get out to ryde soon
Ok, thanks for the tip Scotty, finally got the dang socket off. Now I gotta get a hole drilled in the plastic side support to get access to the one bolt thats right behind it that holds the transmission filter in. UGH, BRP, really, you couldn't come up with a better design than this? Before, I would do every other oil change myself, when BRP suggested to only change the transmission filter with every other change. But now, & it makes much more sense, it needs changed with every oil change & its just a PITA :cus: But doing my research here, I saw a post suggesting to drill a small hole in the plastic support to allow easy access to that bolt & I'm off to give that a try, with Teddy supervising of course.
He got mad at me yesterday, cause he couldn't ryde with his Spyder disassembled & up in the air. While I've been working on the byke, he's been just sitting in his seat, waiting for us to take our leave, and not understanding why we never left the garage :shocked:
Hopefully I can get it all done here soon, so we can ryde out & visit family for the Holidays. Hope you all are having a Great Day :thumbup:

hmmmmmm, maybe I'm missing something here, Scotty
Scotty, I got the panels off, and even moved the honeycomb grating, but that one bolt holding the trans cap on is directly behind the thick plastic black support brace of the byke. Are you talking about also removing this brace? Thats something I haven't done & wasn't sure if it was smart (or easy) to do?

Dave,
It is possible to loosen that vertical post/frame piece just enough to get a screw driver in there without completely removing it. It is a pain and I too am considering drilling a whole at my next oil change.

Today was a good day, started in the 30s ended in the 50s, did over 120 miles
(reminder for next Christmas, best to have it catered like Thanksgiving nojoke)
you shoulda seen 4 grown men standing around my brothers new stainless steel range tryng to figure out how to get it to work correctly. Im holding the oven door closed cause it kept popping open, one brother is pushing buttons, the other is searching for the manual & the other is looking for the fire extinguisher while yelling "theres smoke, somethings burning!" God, how I miss our Mother, especially in times like these
ray::roflblack: "hey, the biscuts are still good, just cut off the bottoms" said my bro. that used to be a chef in another life:roflblack: They had recently gotten a new convection oven that they hadn't really used yet. My other bro & I stopped by Krogers (grocery store) & picked up a pre-cooked Honey Baked Ham .... mmmmmmmm..... good .... only, after an hour and a half in the oven, it was hot on the outside, but still cold on the inside :banghead: "hey, its pre-cooked, just eat the damn thing, it aint gonna kill you." You just gotta love brotherly love :roflblack: Needless to say, Teddy ate really well today :yes:
After the family encounter, we headed to my best friends house & chilled with him for a while then headed over to a fellow SpyderLovers house & paid a Christmas visit to Stan (SportySpyder) & his clan. Since I had recieved extra oil change kits from BajaRon, I gave Stan everything he needed to be able to do his own oil change on his new RS - the oil :thumbup: & he was a Happy Camper. He also had talked with another fellow SpyderLover (Coz) & we're all going for a group ryde tomorrow :yes:

For our new followers that aren't aware, Teddy has many past adventures to share
http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...ures-of-a-2010-RT-S-SE5-Ryder-in-the-Mid-West
The above link, takes you to our Adventures with his first Spyder, which was a 2o1o Timeless Black RT-S that we got back in May of 2o1o. Its the very beginning of our accounting of our journey with this Wonderfully Addictive Machine, we all call a Spyder.
(just a lil sidenote)
I remember the first time we met Randy & Holly (Arntufun & HollY) at the campground in NewYork for Spyders In The Adirondacks. We didn't know each other at all, except for following each others posts here on SpyderLovers. When we were talking, and being relieved that neither of us was the others' worst nightmarenojoke to share a campsite with, I remember asking him why he trusted us? He then told me that he went through & read EVERY POST in Teddys New Adventures thread, and he took the risk that someone so caring for his best friend (Teddy) couldn't be all that bad :joke: Hope you Enjoy & Happy Holidays :yes:
At first, I was a little shocked :shocked: that someone would actually go through all these posts & then I kinda felt a little vulnerable, cause he knew so much about us, but I still didn't know much about him nor Holly & this was before Holly had joined SpyderLovers. Luckily for all of us, it worked out great & we all clicked and had a Great Time. But I just recently realized, I doubt he knew about Teddy's "Old" Adventures & probably hadn't read those, as many of you may not have, so thats why I thought I would share the link to Teddys history. Heck, with the long holiday & many of you are hibernating your Spyders for the winter, it may provide you some much needed reading material with a Spyder related theme & a cool lil dog to boot :doorag:

Wow, a blast from the past- a pic from Teds old thread
The guy driving next to us snapped this pic
then he got my attention and followed us off the exit
and asked for my cell # so he could send us the photo.
Just realized, this is the first (& I think only)
pic that I have of us "In Action"

Day after Christmas group ryde & breakfast in Cincy
Ok, I just got off the phone with Stan (SportySpyder) in planning our lil group ryde today.
Neither of us have heard from (Coz) yet, so we're gonna wait a lil to see if he's on board.
Right now, a lil after 9am, its still freezing out, about 28 degrees.
I suggested waiting a bit for the sun to warm us up some more
and see if (Coz) is gonna join us or not, so we'll wait til
around 10am to decide. If not, we'll just plan on
meeting at Bob Evans in Florence (Dream St.)
at 10:30am today... hmmmmmmmm...
does 2 Spyders make a group ryde?

Its 40 degrees now & raining, changing over to our 1st snowfall of the season soon
So yesterdays group ryde turned into 2 Spyders meeting for breakfast. Coz couldn't make it & my brother called asking me to join with my other brothers & taking a road-trip up to see our sister in Batavia Ohio. So Stan & his S.O. met Teddy & I at Bob Evans for a really nice breakfast. Stans S.O. didn't have the proper cold weather ryding gear, so she drove her car, while Stan layered up for his cold weather ryde on his RS. Hey, the sun was out, but granted, it was still in the 30s, but he made the short ryde just fine. He just had to delayer a bit once we got inside so he didn't over heat. Teddys new heating pad is working really well, tho we still have it temporarily rigged right now. Another forum member is sending us what he believes will be the perfect solution for our needs, so we're waiting til it arrives before I finish its set-up. As for me, I just use my thermo-suit like you see the surfers do with their wet suits & I just unzip the top, slide it off the shoulders & tie the arms around my waist & works great for me.
After breakfast, we parted ways & I believe Stan headed home & Teddy & I made our way to meet up with my brothers in the city of Wilder. Once we all gethered, they decided to ryde together while Teddy & I were ryde'n his Spyder. Its about a 30 mile ryde to my sisters house & it was a nice ryde, albeit almost all highway speeds of 65-80. We didn't try keeping up with my brother & it was funny, cause Im not sure why, but I noticed he missed my sisters exit off the highway & he just kept on going. We made it to my sisters about 10 minutes before them, even tho he was going much faster than we were. Ha Ha
We had a nice visit with our sis & of course Teddy was busy schmooz'n & love'n on everyone & everyone love'n on him back.

We once again dodged the White Bullit of Winter & does anyone want to adopt Teddys...
So yeah, the white stuff never materialized for us here in Cincinnati. The surrounding areas did get a bit of the snow yesterday, but none for us in the Metro area.
Over the past couple of months, Teddy & his pet cat have been coming to blows more frequently & I fear I have made a major mistake. When I first got him his own pet kitten, that we rescued from our local shelter, she was only about 6-8 weeks old & was found in someones yard all alone, who took her to the shelter. My original thinking last winter, was that I hadn't yet perfected Teddys Winter ryde'n gear & accessories to make his frezzing weather travel comfortable & I was leaving him home alone & he was going crazy & I was personally feeling bad about it. I was thinking if he had a buddy to spend his "home alone" time with, that it wouldn't be so bad for him. Well, that worked out for a couple of months, and as passive as the Tedster is, he was in charge of the cute lil fur-ball of a kitten. But as time passed, the lil kitten grew to become a full grown cat. This wasn't an oversite on my part, as I knew this would happen, but my hope was, that since he was hee 1st, & displayed his dominence over her from the beginning, that it would just continue this way going forward. Mind you, when we get his pet kitten, she came already being "fixed" & micro-chipped, but part of the agreement was that we couldn't get her front claws declawed & that worried me, but we didn't have a choice, so we agreed & it hasn't been an issue til recently. His cat "Skydie" short for SkydMarq is actually fine & a normal cat. The problem is Teddy & as he's gotten older, he's getting more & more jealous of any attention that I pay to Skydie. I'm almost afraid to pet her now, cause if he sees me giving her attention, then he starts "bully'n" her. He's not aggressive, but he'll go over & try sitting on her & standing over her, as to try n show his dominence. Well, not that Skydie is full grown & has claws, she won't take it from him & she'll actually attack him, claws first. He's had a couple close calls, where she just missed his eyes but did get his ear, & sliced it to where it was bleeding. You'd think he'd get the hint & not bully her any more, but its almost as if he can't help himself & when he sees me giving her attention, the cycle continues.
I blame myself for this, cause with his training, and his Service Work, he's been trained to be the center of attention & yes, he is spoiled, totally my fault, I know. But I don't want to see him get hurt, but I also don't want to neglect Skydie as she is a great cat & deserves more love and attention that Teddy allows me to give her.
