• 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.

A couple of weeks ago, there was a Thread about whether the :spyder2: is a motorcycle or not and I replied that I really didn't care because whatever else the :spyder2: may be, it has enabled my wife, Kathy (aka MsKitty) to get out on her own and RYDE- something that Yamaha, Sazuki and Harley wasn't able to do for the past six years! :ohyea: Take a look at this picture I shot of her and her :spyder2: yesterday up at the Vista House by Crown Point in the scenic Columbia Gorge. Now Kathy can't wait to get out and ryde and says that she finally understands the tranquility I talk about when referring to the peace of mind ryding creates. Can-Am has created a monster :helpsmilie: (In reality - GOD BLESS CAN-AM!!! :2thumbs: )

Very nice. Looks like your treating her right with getting her an RT. Enjoy all the times and rydes you have together. Mine put 20K on hers in the last two seasons (Apr-Sept).
 
Congratulations to both of you. My wife loves our RT and has been learning to ride, which is a first for her.

Also, congratulations on riding the IB Rally, that's one hell of an achievement. I'm and IBA member, but would never consider riding the rally, especially at my age.

Girl with a 'tude

She looks like a Superhero in that stance. Ms Kitty to the rescue.:2thumbs:
Good for her.
 
Now look at the monster you've created. I hope more people create this kind of monster. :2thumbs:
 
That is too cool! I can relate a bit, as my Wife Kathy went from enthusiastic passenger to rider in pretty short notice as she now pilots our RS-S. It's more fun than I ever imagined having her riding with me on her own machine. We will still go two up on occasion, but riding together in formation is awsome! :ohyea:
 
Go Kathy Go!

:thumbup::congrats::clap::clap::clap:
Kathy is on her way now! No holding her back! She looks like WonderWoman in that stance!:bowdown::bowdown:
 
:congrats: That's super! So when is she scheduled for her fist Saddlesore ride? :ohyea:

In all seriousness, she normally starts whimpering after about four to five hundred miles, however, the RT may very well change that behavior. :clap: We're planning on attending the Spyders in the Redwoods later this year and she's saying that she fully intends on ryding her own :spyder2: to get there! :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:
 
Hooray for Can-Am...I've always wanted to ride but was always afraid...once I had a Honda 750...put less than 500 miles in 2 years....with Spyder 14,000 in less than a year....You Go Girl!!!!!
 
I keep letting my Missus (another Kathy) know that anytime she wants to try the big seat she's more than welcome to give it a try...
I think that she likes sitting back there picking on my riding, road choices, speed, etc..., etc.., etc... :shocked:
 
MY wife loves to ride any were,but now with the RT she rides it around the yard. We were coming back from a meet and I asked her a DUM;) Question did you went to drive we were [out in know mans land] Dam she said ok oh my God what did I just ask. After a mile or so see said she was going to get her Driving perment After 10 miles I told her that it was my turn, She didnt wont to but she did. we were coming up on a main road. jc [ She Hooked ]:spyder::firstplace:

Be careful what you ask for, my friend! I asked Kathy if she'd like to try driving my RT-S and look where that got us.....:yikes:
 
Speaking of wives

Sometimes I even get to ride it.................... Hasn't ridden in 20 years and I buy the Spyder and sometimes I get to ride it.:dontknow:
 
Yours is a familiar story Slybird. And love the Columbia River Gorge area. I grew up there (Portland/Gresham) and spent a lot of time at Crown Point, Multnomah Falls, and Rooster Rock. Beautiful country. Took BumbleBee up there a few years ago when we were visiting family. Would like to ride that area sometime. Best of luck, and ryde safe. :doorag:
