• 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.

Well all:
I ve been waiting a long time to write this post.
At a classic car cruise night where I usually show up with my old ride last june I saw my first spyder! Wow! May be love at first Bite or Byte.
This is from a guy whose last two wheel excursion was on a Schwinn. Way back in the day there was a new 68 Bonneville but that was many moons ago. Anyway from that day on I sort of became very driven ..no pun intended to get one. First came the trial by fire at the local DMV office, written test and then followed up by a MSF 3 day course for newbie s like me!

Then there was the motorcycle endorsement and then soon after a open street ride with the BRP factory guys who were great. All thru this I ve been logging on almost religiously (Daily) to absorb all i could from you folks.
It s strange but although I have not posted that much but have become a sponge soaking all of your varied expertise up I finally took the plunge and wanted to share it with all of you..:yes::yes::yes::yes:
I just took delivery of a :

2009 Red SE5, with 12v. Hindle, Fogs, and the BRP backrest/rear carrier as well as the three yr BEST warrenty.

I put just 2 hrs on it before I was forced to store due to the 15 degree temperatures and heavy snow but i do visit it every day, get on it and make motorcycle sounds.

That will have to do for now, but I would like to thank u all and especially Scotty and Lamonster for giving me the info to get my dream .

:2thumbs: Thank You All.

:congrats: You know you picked the best color! Take the down time to install the accessories you want. Thats what I'm trying to do. Too cold here too. Enjoy your new Spyder!
 
Congratulations! When my wife first saw the Spyder and expressed an interest, I poured over the forums and Web pages, too, to try to learn about them. It all convinced me that it would be a good ride. I'll tell you right now, I seriously underestimated it. It's a great ride! Welcome to the world of Spyder owners, and be patient, the weather will change...Al Gore says it's going to warm up. :D

I know exactly what you mean about being "bitten" after seeing your first one. BTW Lamonster's was the first one that I saw. You will enjoy it.
