• 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.

Why spyder riders don't wave

I've read several funny reasons why other bike owners don't wave so..... I'm gonna dig in my experiences and dig on us:roflblack:

Why spyder owners don't wave at other bikers:

1) That sort of movement would most certainly disrupt the delicate vehicle stability system and throw you into limp mode.

2) It doesn't say in the owners manual to wave at passing bikers

3) Too busy staring at the tach monitoring RPM's to notice other motorists


:roflblack:

What can you come up with? Let's have fun with this:thumbup:
 
If you move your hand off of the left grip; you'll NEVER be able to find the horn, turnsignals, stereo controls, windshield adjustments, or shifter again! :shocked:
 
. . . waived at another bike once . . . and they didn't waive back . . . :shocked: . . . feelings too hurt to ever waive again :opps: . . .
 
"Pre-emptive Umbrage"... I like that! :2thumbs:

The Spyder ride might also be surfing the web with their dash-mounted IPad; searching for the latest accessory for their bike!

:agree:

plus, while fumbling around to find those things, you will most certainly flip the kill switch with your right hand
 
People who still use training wheels should never take a hand off the bars for something as trivial as a wave.
 
Too many cataracts to discern if a wave was initiated:roflblack:

Too busy admiring their recently installed LED illuminated fenders, mudflaps, mirrors, and turn signals:roflblack:
 
Spyder ryders don't wave? Was this something I missed at the dealer indoctrination?? I apologize to ya'll for violating Spyder etiquette! I've been waving, even at H/D riders. I see the error of my ways and will cease and desist immediately! ;)

My instructor at the motorcycle school said after I told him I had a Spyder he said "you don't have a real motorcycle", So I just wave one finger.

Not to bright, for an instructor.....a motorized bi-wheeled cycle and a motorized tri-wheeled cycle are both motorcycles. I imagine a motorized unicycle would even be called a motorcycle. I guess a one-fingered wave still counts as a wave, too.
 
The reason we don't wave in the UK is because if we see another Spyder Ryder we are in SHOCK :shocked: and by the time we realise that we have seen another Can Am, they are gone:gaah:

I have tried the "one finger wave" when being cut up! but for some reason, people don't wave back :shocked:
 
Most of the time I'll wave, some people on metric cruisers, some Harley's, but most of the no- wavers have been the full- dress Harley's, gold wings, or crotch rockets(who are too busy trying to impress their gf's by going Mach 2.

EVERY spyder I wave to waves back!!:spyder2:
 
Wave

1. If I wave I might miss my proper shift point.

2. If I wave I might hit the horn button and not the up shift paddle button.

3. If I wave I might lose my newbie hand grip and start the weeble wobbly steering syndrome again.

4. If I wave I just know the get your hands back on the bar jab me in the ribs governor while get me AGAIN! Same thing goes for a double thumbs up sign.

5. If I wave I know I will get the " that's my job speech AGAIN,"

6. My remedy for not waving is I use the spring activated head light switch and blink my headlamps 1/2 to 1/4 mile before they get to me and my jab in the ribs governor is none the wiser:shemademe_smilie:
