• 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.

Things I love about my spyder

Most post bad only

Thank you for posting the positive attributes. I've been lurking here since shortly after hubby got me Angry Bug in June. I was getting kind of worried with the issues being posted (especially on those with low mileage). I was afraid after all my insistence for the last three years a Spyder was the bike I wanted that it wasn't going to be dependable. Thrilled so far (2,190 miles since June 16) and over the moon to hear the positives even if I don't have all the extras the RTs have.
:ohyea:
A lot of people post here when they have problems - which might make one discouraged. There are many others like the OP of this thread who feel the good outweighs the bad just as I do. A lot of manufacturers have numerous problems - I am also on an HD cruiser forum because we have one of those also and they have many many issues.

Keep riding your Spyder and enjoy the breeze.
 
Great post

I would like to add one more

My wife told my how the stress is gone after riding on our 2016 RTL compared to my Kawasaki Voyager 1200

keep it up
 
Lets add to this

After the unsuccessful attempt to keep positive the "positive comments about Spyders" thread positive, I thought people could add a few things to this thread.

I also love the way that all the Spyder riders you meet in person are very eager to converse with you about your ride, and what they ride.
A GREAT group of people!!

I feel the same way about Spyder riders.
 
Spyder Smile Miles

I enjoy my wonderful Spyder RYDE Times and the Spyder Smile Miles. Spyder people are great. :thumbup:
 
The main thing for me is the lack of stress.Ive had every kind of bike over the last 50 years but in the last 10 I noticed that I just didn't wanna be bothered to plan a trip and deal with the stress of the weight,the lack of storage,being pushed around by big trucks and buses,finding a solid level spot to park,worrying about gravel and wet leaves and more.I planned a trip on my computer and put it on the bikes GPS and took off and had a very stress free 1st Spyder trip(2000 mi).Wife was much more comfortable and happy to not have me getting upset and taking it out on her.
 
Great List

The only thing I will add, is the ability to pull a 400 lb. camping trailer with ease and safety. We can combine our love of camping and riding and camp in comfort.

Somehow I missed your original post. Thanks for revisiting it in response to the "positive comments about Spyders" thread that unfortunately turned a bit negative. I too have occasionally questioned whether to part with my Spyder before experiencing some future major malfunction based on all the negative threads I have read. However, threads such as this reaffirm my commitment to enjoying my Spyder while recognizing any vehicle can malfunction at any time.

I truly enjoyed reading other contributors Spyder riding experiences and I look forward to reading many more.
