• 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.

Too funny not to post here

Some guy on the Can Am Spyder Facebook page posted this. nojoke

Someone needs to inform your marketing department that your riders cannot give the "V-Twin" hand sign as indicated on your TV ads. That privlage is reserved for V-Twin MOTORCYLCE riders. You three wheelers are neither a V-Twin or a motorcycle.
:roflblack:
 
That just made my day. :roflblack::roflblack: You signature quote fits perfect for this guy. :firstplace:
 
:roflblack: I thought it was a joke at first, and then I realized an actual adult human being posted that in a public forum. I had to resist the urge to pile on. Sheesh.
 
Admittedly, my wave to other Spyder ryders in the wild is a bit over the top. One of BRP's camera guys happened to be filming me when I passed this guy out of nowhere. I was so excited to see him that I gave him the old Arsenio Hall fist pump.

Yeah -- that guy reminds me of the 'cubby' in the Spyder trunk......because he's a toolbag ;)---- I didn't really know there was a 'specific' V-twin signal....... I find most folks do varying kind of waves and there is no real 'standard'.

I find most people wave-- no matter what you're riding. I typically do... except for mopeds..... ;-)
 
So, if that's a fact, just tell me how I'm supposed to greet oncoming riders when I'm riding my BMW which is an opposed twin. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I can tell you the sign...but I won't be responsible for the PT bills. :roflblack:
 
OK Mickey !!!!!!! Time to fess up. This is a 2012 Neutron Green RS you are riding. You own a 2011, what gives ?????

Sorry, I'm on top of my game when it come to the RS's. :roflblack:

I really appreciate that, brother. I said this at Spyderfest, and it probably sounded corny but I don't care, it's the truth: the biggest prize I got wasn't the Spyder. It was the opportunity to meet so many cool people from so many different walks of life. I don't know if I'm going to make it to the Adirondacks this year, but I am going to make my way up there one of these days because I want to meet you guys in person!

About Yoda (I gave it that nickname on the last trip because it's a little green bad:cus:), it's on loan from BRP to ride to events and use for taking pictures and making my videos. I realized why when I went to Spyderfest and was the only 2012 neutron-green there, and was able to give a few guys like Firefly and SomeGuy a test ride. The 2011 is still my baby, and I have to say, every time I ride the Yoda I feel like I'm cheating on her.:shocked:
 
I had a Harley rider trying to tell me the Victory I was riding at the time was built in Japan. By mistake I said they were built in Wisconsin instead of Minnesota. His answer was to ask me what part of Canada that was. I didn't say another word and walked away. There is no talking to stupidity. Do they still teach geography in school?
 
Oh, about the last part, sorry...I lurk a lot more than I post here (I'll swing through and catch up every day or two), and that's for a couple of reasons. The main one is that I'm still learning, so a lot of the questions that come up (especially the technical ones) I'm reading up on and learning about myself, and don't have much to contribute to the conversation. I tend to post a lot more on the travel threads and such. I'll be posting some new material in a bit, just turned in a whole series of articles and videos that are pretty cool, so you'll be seeing more of me, soon.:thumbup:

:roflblack: You can work on your image all you want, just don't get rid of those flamingos.

We usually use the 'arm down' wave to other bikes and sometimes we wave. There are times, too, that it's the 'WTH(eck)' when someone pulls out in front of you or does something stupid. Guess there are times I forget to turn the 'cloaking' device off!! :gaah:
