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.

I hope scooters and mopeds can be considered in the category. That was my ride in high school and college.
I took my MSF class three years ago. I started with a Honda Rebel. I was hooked. Then, I decided to get a Honda Shadow early this year. But I fell in love with the Spyder last year. I wish I could have started riding in my younger years. I am 41 and enjoying my ride.

I got my first, when I was 11, a sears moped, bought it used off another boy for I beleive was $25.00, mama had a fit. Daddy was a Harley rider from back in the 40's, when he got back home. I was told the first and last time my mom was on a motorcycle was on her first date with my dad. drove the moped until I could't fix her anymore. Didn't get a real bike until I was 18, a 350 Honda, mostly because mom wouldn't here of it. I beleive the number of bikes I've owned is over 30. A few years before my father died. I had took him to the funeral of one of my mom's sisters. Someone there knew him from way back, and asked if he was still riding a Harley. He told him I did the Harley riding in the family now. I could have not have been so proud.

Used to ride a Honda 90 back in high school. When I got a car with a big back seat the bike got left behind. Rode in the dirt for a few years in the mid 70's. Last year was looking for an old 80's Harley to restore and ride when I found out about the Spyder. Did a demo ride and put my money down. Finally got her in October 08. Just went over 1400 miles today. Wife likes to ride with me but I rode solo today. When I got home my 6 year old grandson wanted to go for a ride. About 7 miles from home there is a spot where deer like to hang out in the afternoon. It was his first time going for that long a ride. He had a blast. 52 and still a youngster.
I started riding at the age of 8 and am 51 now. In high school I worked part time for the Kawasaki dealer in Rapid City, SD and got to ride many different motorcycles. Over the years I have owned over 30 bikes but nothing is like the Spyder. I remember taking the first 1973 Kawasaki Z1 our dealership received out of the crate, setting it up knowing I was going to the first one in the Black Hills to ride one. I thought how cool it would be to own one of the first ones. Well that happened with the Spyder one year ago when I got the call and was one of the first in Phoenix to take delivery.

Had a Kawasaki 80cc dirtbike as a kid.... 11 or 12 I think. It had the smaller wheels so I wouldn't have trouble reaching the ground. It was great, and an awesome way to learn to ride. However, I out-grew it and didn't have anything else. I've been thinking very hard for the last few years about getting something, but had been a little scared till now. I worked in the Pathology department of the hospital at Ft. Bragg and saw several riders come through the back doors in body bags. I know a lot of them were careless and probably caused the accidents on their own, but not all. I was always scared by the ones that were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and due to the laws of physics, came out on the losing end of a collision with a car. The Spyder is the first cycle that really makes me comfortable on the highway with all the much larger vehicles. I think just because it's larger and it gets noticed provides a lot of comfort. All I know for sure is it's a blast!!!:thumbup:

I rode a mini bike when I was in 8th grade till I was caught by the cops. Grounded for two months couldn't go out of my room except to eat & go to school, then three months couldn't go off the street. When I joined the Army I bought a 175 Yamaha while stationed in Hawaii. Later I bought a Vespa moped. Had a scooter while in Germany. When I came back from Germany in 1992 I bought a 1980 650 Honda. Had that until I got a 84 Honda Goldwing. Had been looking for a trike and was looking at the Piaggi MP3 when I found out about the Spyder & fell in love with it. I have had mine since May & it is the best thing that I have bought in a long time. 52 years old
