Thanks. The buffaloes are a passion. One is an unrestored original in really nice condition. Two are full on bare frame 'rescue' projects that are in many pieces. Have two others that are parts donors.

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.
Yet another....upgraded to 2014 today

Warranty replacement tires did wonders for that darty feeling on my 2014.First Ryde today. Yesterday was really too tired, put it in the garage with 14 miles on the clock. Spent all day Friday riding trails and MX on the KTM and I'm really too old for that.
Wife and I took the new spyder out for lunch after church today, close to a 100 mile round trip.
Asked her what she thought (she doesn't use message boards, or internet really), "smooth, and quiet". I said for 13k difference it should be. After i ducked the roundhouse and hid for awhile she had calmed down and said she really likes it. At 70mph radio only has to go halfway up now, instead of all the way.
Stock seat is coming off this evening. It is better than the 2012's stock was, but an hour in that saddle is more than I can handle, especially after having bouncing around on a dirt bike seat.
I can feel the 'loss' of my baja ron sway bar, it's a bit 'darty' on any corner. That'll be the first add-on.
Love this thing. Year round riding here for those who can handle 13f or so, which I usually am, so I'm looking forward to really running up the counter.

We did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, although my wife made me bring my helmet!

I'd be interested in learning what your strategy was for presenting this to dealer and getting their buy in. Is there a wear characteristic you were able to point out or some other factor showing the dodgy tires.
Would love to get this fixed, it's not horrible but it's just less stable feeling than the '12, which it shouldn't be.
