• 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.

Where is my wife and who replaced her with a lookalike?

While watching TV one night, a Spyder commercial came on. My wife remarked that it would be nicce to have one. Huh? Never in a million years could I imagine that happening. I made a promise to my mother when I was a young and also to my wife that I would not go on a motorcycle. I kept that promise. But the Spyder is different and offers stability that a two-wheeled motorcycle doesn't. And my wife is willing to get on one! When a wife surprises you and suggests getting a fantastic new toy, one must sieze the moment.

On Sunday we went to a dealer to have a look at them since we have never seen one on the road here on Long Island or anywhere else we've been. I expected her to gravitate towards the RS since she is frugally minded with our money, not to mention an excellent manager of our money. She discounted the RS immediately and had her eye on the RT. It only makes sense as it's something we both want to enjoy riding together. As soon as my employment situation changes, we will pull the trigger on one. The only disagreement we have is what color we like. She like the the Pearl white Limited while I like the Bronze. I hope to report back in the coming months that we are no longer prospective owners but proud new owners.
 
congrats soon, :yes: hope you decide on color, remember keep her happy, you will enjoy the ride.
 
Go with the Pearl White...you will not be disappointed. I know is a fat chance, but hope to see ya on the road (Me = TX, you = my former state of residence) :D
 
Enjoy the hunt. Color is your decision problem. I definately recommend the RT for riding two up. It has more comfort and touring options. Besides, that's the one she wants.


:welcome:
 
I'm with her go with the white! More visible and striking!
us women stck together ya know!!
 
Wow, what could be better than your wife saying "let's get a new toy"!!!! Happy decision making! Hope to see you posting pictures of your new ryde soon!!!
 
We've had ours for almost 6 weeks, and we are having a blast.

Only issue we have now is deciding who is going to drive. :)
 
Been there , done that.

I have owned 20 plus road bikes during our 25 years of marriage and not once did my wife want to ride. Bought a 2011 Rt-s and she just got her motorcycle license! We have plans to ride for a week in August and I couldn't be happier! Get what ever color she wants, color does not affect the ride!:bowdown:
 
Hope you enjoy your new Pearl White Spyder. LOL.

Enjoy your new white spyder. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
 
We've had our 2010 RTS for two years. When we got it the wife had never driven a motorcycle. Never wanted to. Well, that all changed. She got her endorsement today!

I thought I was reading about myself while reading this!!! Before we pulled the trigger, I asked her if she was ready, and she replied with a very definite "YES". I mentioned that I didn't think I could handle the Spyder and car payments, so she has also agreed to pitch in with the Spyder payments until we decide if we like it better than the SRT-4 Caliber :D
