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 Sightings
- Thread starter ThreeWheels
- Start date
Tuesday while riding in MO and stopped to eat, a lady came over and asked where I got my "Never underestimate an old man with a Can-Am Spyder" tee-shirt. She said they rode a 2026 S-S and it was in the parking lot. They were from MN. I spoke briefly with her husband and asked if he had ever run car tires on any of his previous Spyders and he said no. I gave him some suggestions, he thanked me and we went on our way.
I saw a Spyder today near Orrville, Oh. Oh wait, no it was a Harley trike. Never mind then.
What?! Was it travelling downhill in Reverse and being blown along faster than a slow walk by a hurricane force wind?!
I thought the Harley trikes not only RODE like an unsprung cart, and a whole lot different to a Spyder; but they also LOOKED a whole lot different to a Spyder too - especially with regard to which end the two wheels were at!!

I think the new HD trikes are supposed to be better, with an independent rear suspension they just introduced.
However, having ridden the older one, I thought they were really scary to ride , i.e., the motorcycle equivalent of a Reliant Robin or a Bond Bug.
If you’ve never seen either one of these, I wouldn’t look them up.
At first when I saw it coming at me all I saw was the outline. I'm thinking Spyder for obvious reasons. When it got closer, obviously it wasn't but I thought it was kinda funny. It's crazy how some riders will buy anything from the marketing company just because of the name.What?!

I saw a Black RT (two up) today (Sunday) in the Ausable Chasm, New York area, during the afternoon. It's License plate was from Canada.
I also saw a Red 2008 GS Spyder model (one up) with a bunch of other 2 wheel motorcycles.
They were near the Tail of the Pup Restaurant (it is a seasonal BBQ and seafood restaurant) which is on Route 86 in the Ray Brook area, between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, New York, at around 12:00 Noon today.
I didn't see the license plate.
I was on a 2023 F3 LTD SS Spyder.

We arrived from IL & IA at the height of the storm Wednesday. In a low area, my RTL reverted back into a Ski-Doo with all 3 tires floating on water, very scary! I understand the vendor area had major damage and they were having a dent and scratch sale of display bikes that were being stored under tents. The highlight of the trip was the Veteran's ride on Friday, with over 500 bikes. They took us to the Ozark International Raceway where we did a hot lap in formation. This year was even hotter than last year, which I didn't think was possible. Our ride schedule had to be changed to morning rides, then pool time in afternoon. On Saturday afternoon we even took the boat out. I thought Can-Am was really well represented at the
Rally.

Saw a Blue 2014-2017 RTL Chrome get on the 60 Westbound in Apache Junction with two-up riders, helmets, and short sleeved shirts a few minutes after 9am.
So, is that unusual to see an early model RTL in Apache Junction on October 3rd?
Back in 2010 when this thread started, that might have been unusual, but 16 years later it would take a Unicorn sighting!

I was wondering if they were on SpyderLovers and wanted someone to ride with?!
It's unusual to see any Spyder in my neck of the woods. I've seen maybe 10 all summer. I live and ride in rural Ohio, maybe that's why?!
There's a guy who rides a gray, newer F3 in Puyallup, WA. Canyon Road is where I see him, going the opposite direction. Always has a nod or a wave.
Hey man, if you're on here, I'm the black, late model F3 with the tour pack on the back. Send me a DM and let's get together for a ride!

. The person nodded. I did not catch the license plate. Similar threads
