• 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.

    Got Love it!

    My bf's kids (14 and 16 year old boys) are indifferent to my Spyder. They don't comment on it, don't ask to ride it, etc. I've offered to give them a ride. Heck, we offered to pay for the 16 year old to take the motorcycle rider's course and get him his m/c license but he's not interested...

    Insured

    I'm paying a little over 1800 a year, but I've got full coverage, accessory coverage and a low deductible. Plus I've had several speeding tickets and an accident in the last few years. I'm insured with Progressive. I had a better rate at State Farm (who I'd been with for about 20 years) but...

    Ever rolled a Spyder?

    My bf did not tip, but did lift one of the wheels off the ground. He was over weight limit and made a sharp turn at about 30mph. He was able to rebalance it out, though he did hurt himself a bit landing wrong on his leg to do so. I'd heard about the guy who lost it taking an onramp too fast.

    Cramp Buster

    I got one right after I bought my Spyder -- like the next week. I put it on and the next time I rode, I actually accelerated backward out of my driveway so fast and had to brake so hard the engine died. Only time I've killed my SE so far. I didn't know it was possible to kill a semi auto like...

    New to Spyderlovers.com

    Hi and welcome. There are lots of dealers on the front page of the site near the bottom. You'll find all kinds of after market products to spend your hard earned retirement on. Many of them also have windshields. BRP also has a secondary windshield that can replace the small one. I...

    Biker looking to 'defect' to Spyder - advice please?

    +2! If you weren't closer to the east coast I'd say come on down and I'll let you ride mine! I've already had several people at work riding it around the parking lot. I've got a couple people hooked. Now I just need to work out a finder's fee from my local dealer. ;)

    How many spyder riders are on here from MN?

    I'm in Rosemount. There's another yellow Spyder out here too that I've seen once and been told of once, but they sure don't ride much and I don't think they're on the boards.

    Looking for sidebags & on a budget??

    With speakers that big you wouldn't even need an engine. Just turn the bass up and vibrate down the highway.

    Soft bag recommendations?

    I agree with the Nelson Rigg. I love mine. The only problem I had was getting the stiffeners in them. But the effect of having a bag that doesn't 'deflate' makes it worth it.

    Snow. Wind. May.

    I am -so- glad we didn't get snow here in my part of the Twin Cities. Erg. It was super cold and windy yesterday (while my boyfriend was in motorcycle safety training class and I was sitting by the side of the track watching him). The roofs and grass were frosted over this morning too, but it...

    Purchasing a new RTS

    I have the RS. I've never had any steering problems with mine. First thing I did, only a week or 2 after driving it off the lot was raise the handle bars. I have a new, taller, adjustable windshield on order. These two things cost a significant chunk of money, but the raised handlebars...

    Wonder if there's something similar for us Android users. I'll have to look at the marketplace.

    The FUN has Started

    I'm envious. The weather here has been so crappy... If it's not too cold to ride, it's too wet. I'm really glad we got an early Spring but this "can't decide" weather is making me nuts. Also, I may murder my boyfriend if he takes my Spyder out again before I get to. Murder. Really. nojoke

    For you dog lovers

    Garage? I figured it was his living room. You don't keep your Spyder in the living room? Hm! (sorry, I had to)

    How Does Selling A Spyder that's not paid off yet work??

    My dealer had a 'paper' tag on the back of mine when I drove it off saying tags applied for. I also had my signed documentation showing that they were sending in for the tags too in case I got pulled over. I didn't though, so it worked.

    XM Radio Receiver for all you XM lovers

    http://www.ram-mount.com/ I looked at these this weekend because I'd like to get one to mount my GPS. I found the 'search wizard' to be the easiest to use. You basically need like a bracket and then the mount. The bracket fits on your electronic device and then on the mount. The mount then...

    WindShield help between Mel's or Cal Sci

    Sorry, can't speak to either of the ones you mentioned. I bought the MadStad though and am looking forward to getting it. There are pictures of someone with one on here (I can look for the thread tonight if you want it).. it's adjustable, comes in smoke and I think it looks great.

    I wish I could help but have no second person to ride with and don't have my full m/c license so couldn't take the interstate. Sorry. I hope you find someone though.
