• 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.

Whats up with people?

I agree with a lot of points brought up. Most people are intrigued, facinated, and complementry when they see the Spyder.

Those clowns are in the minority. They will always be more happy to show off just how closed minded, simplistic and ill mannered they are.

Must be one of the few idiots in VT, because everyone else I met from there goes out of there way to be nice. Let's hit that diner again sometime soon. The sight of a dozen Spyders may just throw him over the edge and he can enjoy the rest of his years in a nice quiet padded room, and we can go on enjoying doing what we enjoy doing.

:yes:

Well I have to agree with most, ignoring them is the best pratice. As a police officer I see alot of Road Rage these days. I mean atleast once a shift dispatch is sending one of us to settle some sort of road rage incident. people are crazy these days and you just dont know what they have or what they plan on doing.

I tell people to just turn away and if followed drive straight to the closest PD you can find, never stop and engage into something.....You may lose!!!!!
 
We know what the middle finger means but where did it start. It's a finger what if i put up my pinky or ring finger does not bother me. so the middle means NOTHING!!! only if you let it.
 
Good advise is always appreciated. I'm alone raising my kids and I would be a fool to put myself in a situation where I could get hurt or worse. I think I will just avoid this fool if have this happen again, But I will try to get his license plate number if I can and get the cops to deal with it. I will just enjoy my spyder and not care what anyone else thinks. Life is too short, thats for sure.

I would check the back of your jacket, maybe your Harley buddy some sort of sign like "YOU SUCK" or something on it. :D

Thats funny! I did check the jacket, it's cool. when I had my passing out episode at work John wore the Jacket and my helmet to take my spyder home. I'm sure he wouldn't put anything on it that he didn't want to show to the public.:doorag:

I guess you have a point. In the movie " The Beverly Hillbillies" Didn't uncle Jed call it A Califori Howdy do? Maybe I'll just wave to the guy!

People do strange things, while in Eureka Springs this weekend My husband and I got laughed out from a chic on her harley, A few miles down the road she had laid it down (thank goodness she wasn't hurt) Carma comes back to bite ya!
 
Now let's investigate this a little bit. Now we all know there aren't very LARGE numbers of Spyder let alone in only three standard color Red, Yellow, or Silver. But what are the possiblity of another Spyder might have P'ed O this guy earlier on the day or the week. You happen to be the second Spyder in the area he see you and thinging you're the other guy. But you happen to be the BAD GUY IN THE Wrong place, even you're not him. That is why I believe in setting an example.

Or the other possiblity is the guy is just nutty!

Just my thought, I would let it ruin my ride. If he happens to stop just ask what's up? But I willing to bet that what had happen.

Yes there are jerkoffs among us. I can't believe it - the same guy flipping you off?:2thumbs::roflblack::roflblack: OK, the first time I would have let him pass but the second time? I probably would have flipped him off back and mouthed off a few choice words and peeve him off so much he'd wanna chase me and I'd lead him right to the police station. but that's me being a girl. NOW, if I were a guy, I'd dismount the :spyder:, and start to kick his door in. Actually I'd do that being a girl also :D

I've gotten that look from HD chicks too-- never had one say anything though--- would gladly offer to run my Spyder against anything she is riding!
 
When someone is eating his heart out, it sometimes causes a nervous reaction in one or both his middle fingers.

Just smile, understanding, and drive on.

Thats strange. My experiences have been that most Harley riders are impressed with the Spyder. Get lots of thumbs up.

The ones that won't give it a second look are the owners of the cafe style bikes. They are not interested in anything you can't ride on the back wheel only.

I was at a stop light where it had just turned green. the gus in the car in front of me were checking out the girl on the sidewalk so I gave them a polite beep of the horn. They turned around and both flipped me the bird, as I reacted returning the favour I noiced the scruffy to characters were wearing HELL's Angels patches. Not good, I lowered my finger and looked at the mother in law beside me who started to turn white, I turned right instead of following them through the light, to calm my mother in law of course.I got over it, I hope they did too
I did however at a later date have 10 or 12 of them pull up beside me on my Spyder at a stop light and they really like it especially when it took off in a trail of burning tire smoke
