• 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.

    Spyder shopping - 998 vs 1330, is the 1330 that much better?

    What you said above, makes all the difference in the world. I almost picked up a 20k mile 2010 about a year ago for $2500. The only thing that stopped me was the fact that I had a 2021 RTL and a 2016 F3L already in the garage. I wish I had picked it up for my brother, but by the time I told...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    After having to miss 2 great days last week where the temps were in the 70's, I was determined to ride Saturday. Woke up and it was raining. :( So I went out to the office and worked until around 2, when things had cleared up and the sun was coming out. Wife was still gone, so the timing was...

    How do we add rider map to our Signature block?

    Wow, I finally did something on this new format that worked! Normally when I go to insert a picture, no matter what I do, I get a message saying I did something wrong and it had to be corrected. I got most of the States in except for the upper NorthEast. Plan on leaving June 1 to finish that up.

    Winter Blues? No ride today...

    We got some ruff weather here too. Nothing with snow, but not the best for riding. The 2 days we had last week were great, but work had me locked down. Hopefully this weekend will be better. I think they are calling for mid to low 60's. For February and March, I will take it.

    FS: 2022 F3S with extras.

    Still available! Market seems a little soft right now, but he is patient, and willing to listen to offers. Great deal on a great bike. If I didn't have 2, I would be on it.

    New Owner of SpyderLovers.com 02-19-2026

    Much love and respect to you brother. I have been around here for quite some time. Seems like I keep switching things up as well. I was with you on the M109 board and even joined the Goldwing board when that was going to be my next bike. That never happened but it seems like the Spyder thing was...

    Prepping for the ultimate riding season - have I missed anything?

    We did Beartooth Pass last May. I think it had been opened the week before we got there. Plenty of snow on the sides, but the roads were clear. The other roads posted by the original poster are all great. The Black Hills and such were good, but after doing the Million Dollar Highway and...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Supposed to be upper 60's and cloudy today. Think I might have to take the bike out to run some errands. I wish I could swap todays weather for Saturday. Supposed to be cooler and over 50% chance of rain. But I will work with what I have.

    How do you control Rabbits (without shooting)?

    We had a problem with them, but nothing like in the picture you posted. I didn't read all the comments, but the red fox in our area took care of them at my house, until the coyote took out the red fox. They had gotten pretty bad again until the red tail and red shoulder hawks took over. The...

    FS: 2024 F3-T SPYDER DELAWARE 2/14

    Wow! That is an awesome deal for a super nice bike! It should not last for long at that price. Good luck with the sale.

    Spyder RT with a Goldwing Engine (Not AI)

    That is awesome! I have said since day one that if I could merge my 2nd gen Vmax with it's 197 hp V4 with my F3T, it would be the perfect combination. This combination of a Goldwing and RTL would be next. Hats off to anyone who was able to make this happen. Congrats.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Well, I did get the wife's Spyder inspected yesterday. It made it to 70 degrees and was beautiful. Even though I am in need of a new rear tire, it passed inspection. Plan is to get one before the trip in June. Was kinda disappointed that I only put 2k miles on that bike last year, but...

    FS: 2015 F3S with removable Shad and Givi luggage

    I know this is a bad time of year to sell bikes and trikes, but you have a smoking deal there! I am guessing things must be really cheap on the West Coast. I am thinking that would be gone over here on the East Coast. Even if it had to sit for a month or so due to the weather. Good luck with the...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Nothing today. But tomorrow has a forecast of 65 degrees. So I plan on taking the wife's F3L to get a state inspection while it is relatively warm. Gonna try to set up an appointment to take the RTL in to have the right saddle bag latch replaced one day next week. Just looking for a day...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I am on Spyder number 5 and 6. I have owned a 2014 RT, 2012 RSS, 2- 2016 F3T's, a 2016 F3L, and a 2021 RTL. Of them all, I will have to say the F3 series fit my style of riding best. But I love the ability to remove the trunk from the 2021 RTL if I want to be sportier (that was my only gripe...
