• 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.

so far 20,30s and 40s put together are not half of 50's and even less vs. 60s. Although i dont agree with the assessment its an older persons bike at least i know where it comes from. i think it should be for anyone that wants to enjoy the open road but wants the additional safety of a 3 wheeler vs. 2,
 
Will be 79 next month but still riding in the wind. Been at it for nearly 60 years and it keeps my head on straight. :2thumbs:
 
I was 83 last August. I will lead the ride Saturday for our group, the Hill Country Road Riders. If the next 83 are as much fun as the last 83, I ain't gonna stick around......!

:spyder2:
 
Life starts at 40

I am 41 :yes::yes::yes: They say life starts at 40 and believe me my life started at 40.:yes::yes::yes:

You meant "aren't as much fun", right? ;). Great post.:thumbup:
 
Creeping

Creeping up on 61. If I don't change my habits its questionable. As long as I make it to SpyderFest 2016 I will have lived long enough to check off another bucket list item. Two weeks and four days before I leave. Headed to the Smokey Mountains, Deals Gap and Tail of the Dragon before SpyderFest.
 
Some Interesting Results So Far

There have already been some interesting results, when you look at this poll and compare it to the similar one from four years ago. While the percentage of those who are in there 50s and 60s have stayed roughly the same, we have lost a good number of those in their 30s and 40s. Most significantly, our riders in their 70s have greatly increased. (and we have two more octogenarians :thumbup:).

I'm not a statistician, but it looks to me like the average age of Spyder owners who have participated in these polls has increase by almost 10 years over the past four years. Or am I wrong?

Anyone care to offer a comment about what the difference in these polls means? :dontknow:

So upon voting in the poll at the top of the page I realized that I'm literally the only 20 something year old so far. Me and my wife are both 25 and I was thinking about this as I was on my way home tonight. I bought my spyder when I was 21, I bought one young but a medical condition always prevented me from riding a motorcycle, so the spyder was one of my only options. It was a pretty penny but worth it.

My brother and his wife are in their 20s and they have an RT-S. I've always liked hanging out with people older than myself, get to learn lots of new things that way and they are generally "better behaved", LOL. But it's nice to see that someone else in my brother's age group rides Spyders too.
