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, you have to admit, it does turn heads and people are inquisitive. They just don't think before opening mouth. My favorite line is, "Their ignorance is only exceeded by their stupidity"!

I get asked the same questions so often, I put a flyer together, keep a stack in the trunk to hand out.

I get that question alot, or phrased something similar.
The last guy said, "How do you like those things?"
My response is either I like it just fine, or I say, I love it.
I'm thinking, how do you respond to that question?
What I have done since Car & Bike show I did last month, is made a flyer.
On one side, is the Spec Sheet from Can-Am on the Spyder.
On the other side is this groups website and logo on the top
and on the bottom the logo's and addresses of the two local dealerships that sell the spyder.
I just give em out when ever people start asking a bunch of questions.
If they are really interested, they take one.
I was on Bay Street in downtown Toronto when a guy in a truck beside me asked the same question. I said, "I sure hope so. Otherwise I could be in a lot of trouble!"

The worse question came from a Harley guy. He asked, how did I like my wheel chair? My response was that if he could find a wheel chair with all the technology and horse power that the Spyder offers on a stock bike, he better buy it. And if he had a computer and knew how to use it, look up the Spyder and read about it, before you start labeling someones bike.
Somewhere in southern Illinios, we stop for gas and a change of gear and this Asian gentleman was giving the Spyder the once over. I'm putting stuff in the front compartment and he starts asking...
"How big is engine?"
"How much power?"
"How good stop?"
<long pause>
"How it steer?"
I told him it handles great, very stable, but somehow it looked as if I didn't get what he was asking. He was staring at the front of the bike and he was really thinking about something...you could tell.
Then he asks "You no need tag?"
I said, "yeah, it's on the back".
Asian guy turns beet red, thanks me for my time and scurries back to his family. It took a minute but finally dawned on me he had asked how it steered, not how it handled. He thought he was looking at the back of the bike.

O.K. so this is not about my Spyder but I love to share this one.
I was born and raised in Ireland so I have the Irish brogue. I was in Sears some years back and the guy behind the register asked me "Where are you from?" I replied "I come from Ireland" He looked a tad confused and replies "Ireland, where in America is that?" WOW:yikes:

...and these folks are in the gene pool?:dontknow:
I guess questions do not bother me at all and I'm happy to respond. I like fireman''s printed information to help those with questions...:2thumbs:
Last week at a motorcycle benefit rally, I could see two men talking about my bike -- they were standing at the front end of the Spyder. One was making a lot of hand jestures showing his buddy how the two front wheels lean on curves and go straight when the road is straight. He had to use hand signals as nearby was a rock band going full blast... I did my best to show them exactly how the front end worked... (I had to use some hand signs as well
). They were very impressed with the Spyder.:spyder2:
Ride safe and share the knowledge...
