• 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.

    Random thought for the day

    The above reminded me of something. Back when our oldest son was a teenager and still lived with us, he would take a shower before school and fall asleep while doing so. He was an EXTREMELY heavy sleeper and knocks on the bathroom door did not get his attention. What got his attention was me...

    Please tell me what Battery Heated vests you recommend?

    We bought these a couple of years ago and like them well enough. They do a good job of keeping you warm and the battery seems to last a good long time. Woman's https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CG1K1TXC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Men's...

    What happened to the hippies?

    I agree with the first half of your post, you got that right. The second half? Seriously? You're going to blame ALL of that on the hippies? Blame it ALL on rock-n-roll like the previous generation did! The devil's music.

    I Killed My Battery - left it on a tender... New battery awaiting collection!

    Did the battery tender indicate that it had finished the charge? Green LED, right?

    Spyder pricing (looking for my first) - which do you think is the better deal?

    I bought my F3 from them this past May. I personally, would not take my Spyder back to them for service, or for any reason. If you'd like to know why ask me with a PM. I'd rather not have my post deleted if I can help it. Heck, this post will probably get deleted anyway.

    Nice to see a good story once in a while as opposed to the doom and gloom of the times.

    Spyderlovers IS NOT UNSAFE - the Security Certificate did Expire, but is now renewed!

    It seems that there's more going on than just an expired security license, at least for me here. After clicking past the warnings, it seems that many of the buttons on the site do not work properly. I'll click on Reply, and it does nothing. If I refresh the screen, it works.

    Any reason I can't leave the Plastic Cover underneath off to check for oil leaks?

    Who changed the oil last? I suspect that the drain plug wasn't tightened properly when last done. Plugs don't typically loosen up by themselves if properly tightened.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I was working in my garage as it was getting dark outside when I got started. I took the F3 for a fill-up (93 octane) and dumped in 3oz of Sta-bil. Brought her home and made a mess. I still gotta get out there and finish the cleanup. I spread some sawdust over the oil spill and that's what...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Changed the oil in my Spyder for the first time ever yesterday. I put my F3 up on my homemade ramps, just the first step on the ramps, which is only 1.5" front and back. Just enough to get the drain pan underneath and have a bit of working room. That's a weird drain plug for the engine. As...

    Your Weather News @ NOVEMBER Edition 2024

    Near 60f today, then the bottom falls out. Snow predicted for Wednesday night into Thursday. Gotta get the oil changed in both my Spyder and my Miata this afternoon. Which means running into town and filling them both up with 93 octane after adding the required amount of Sta-bil. I'll be...

    Random thought for the day

    A few years ago, WD had a special on a three can pack of WD-40. Two cans were the modern version and the third was the retro can you're showing. I still have it, never used.
