• 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.

Who cares how much money you spent

Who cares

I give all my money to my wife and she don't have to complain being my Lover, accountant, housewife, financier , buddy rider,. The way I see it if she get all the money meaning I don't have to do anything and this is the best retirement.
 
:agree:Either your a retired CEO or big bucks daddy with lots of spare time to ride across the country full time or your just doing a lot of BS. One thing is for sure I seldom hear anyone use the work "poor" or "cheap" or "in debt" but mostly "thousands" with complaints about BPR not satisfying your thirst for more quality.
I have a family that requires most my time and most my money and my Spyder F3s has been acquired only because I choose to go into debt and have something my wife and I could share our old age on and still be able to be home for the family.
Even if your a single guy or gal or grandparent of 20 It seems as though with all the miles you ride and all the money you spend on these toys and their upkeep and extras you could probably put a kid through college or donate to the orphaned children's homes and reap the benefits that far out weigh motorcycle trivia. Don't get me wrong - I enjoy my spyder quite a bit but it isn't my no 1 love or even no 10. Its just a pastime hobby or event.
I do appreciate the how-tos and simple ways to save money on tires in stead of BPR's million dollar rubber with gold lettering or ways to avoid bike malfunctions that are common. This site is invaluable in many ways but to lissen to story after story and complaints and thousands of dollars spent on crap just to make you look important and better and smarter is a waste. Maybe we should start a Bull Sh__ category. Just speaking my mind...





Our life, our hard work, our sacrifices and our toys - no one elses business. Don't care what you have, how you choose to spend your money, raise your kids, how much time you devote to your family, or what you had yesterday for supper. Whether you worked your a** off by owning your own business or working for your county government - again your choice. We might have more than you or less than you - again, don't care - but why do you? I'm sorry if life isn't what you wanted it to be, but your attempt to throw a guilt trip on others is beyond me. If you have a problem, there isn't one person on this site that won't offer to help you or provide information to help you solve it, however, I might suggest that you get your information regarding your Spyder off of Youtube and avoid the "Bull Sh__" that seems to irritate you about SpyderLovers. Live and let live, dude......

I keep rereading the original posts, attempting to discover the issue.

Frankly it seems, with assumptions, that he is seeing what some do or don't do and he has frustrations with it. He mentions having kids at home and the Spyder is not even top 10 in his concerns, that is all well and good.

That made me me remember that when my kids were at home and or income was lower we put our money in the kids and their enrichment, I did not have a MC but wanted one, I barely played golf though I had my whole life. We all make different decisions in different stages of our lives, give the guy a little slack, I know where he is at.

Of course my assumptions could be all wrong.

I work extremely hard on shift work and I choose to spend my money how I choose. I have no family all are dead. I have no kids or wife but lots of friends to ride with and enjoy life with.
This is the spyder life that i choose.
 
I have no idea what the OPs point was, but what I spend money on is no ones business but mine.
:agree: and am baffled, confused, bewildered and befuddled. What is this thread about. Certainly going to be one that I "ignore" in the future. I will not justify how I spend my money to anyone other than my wife. Other will think what they will. Too many snowflakes in this wold as it is looking for those who work hard to give their money away. Words may be harsh, but so is being judged by others that have no clue about me or my way of life.
 
Not being a wise guy but when any toy becomes burdensome I'll toss it and move on. I'm not at that point in my life and plan to keep my neck above water till I croak. When I purchased my Spyder I was well versed in every imaginable cost and I have been so far 99% accurate. Motorcycles, RVs and boats are money pits, not investments. If you buy a toy and look at the costs AFTER you bought it....it means you didn't do your homework.
 
OP posted the same rant in a thread on warm weather riding clothes.

Wonder where it will appear next ?

Get over it. The Jones live next to all of us. I am just glad that the Jones are trying to keep up with me. They'd crap if they knew that I don't even own a suit.

Welcome to the "no suit" club. I got rid of all mine about two months ago. Now, they will have to bury me in my jeans and riding vest. :yes::yes:
