• 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 RS Seat/Steering Conversion

    Yeah, I noticed. But I need an SE5 because I can't handle the manual shift. If you come across any SE5's for that, let me know. Derwin

    Drastic measures: Voluntary grounding?

    Very Good! :thumbup: I think there is room for ALL opinions and EVERYBODY'S personal experiences with the Spyder, Good and Bad. The thing that I don't like is when people get PERSONAL and start calling names. That's when it get's beyond simply giving opinions, and into personal attacks. And...

    Spyder RS Seat/Steering Conversion

    Yeah, I've been checking. I put in an offer for an SE5 for $11,000, but I don't think the guy is gonna take it. I'll keep looking, though. Derwin

    Spyder RS Seat/Steering Conversion

    Well, the FIRST thing on my "to do" list is to actually GET a Spyder! lol. But I'm just trying to figure out all the possibilities NOW so that I can make a decision that I won't regret. By the way, I'm only 5'7" tall, and I weigh a couple bills. Derwin

    Drastic measures: Voluntary grounding?

    Wow! Where did that come from? :dontknow: The ONLY thing bonecrusher was trying to say was that he believes in the product and/or company, and that if a person no longer does, that they can go ahead and SELL their spyder. What's the big deal about that statement? rather innocent if you ask me...

    Spyder RS Seat/Steering Conversion

    LOL! I didn't either until a few days ago! I change my mind with the wind...it's one of my major faults! That's very cool. I just want to be comfortable while I'm riding, and sitting upright is what I think would be best. If it's not possible with the RS, then I'll just have to pass on it and...

    Spyder RS Seat/Steering Conversion

    Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out... how to skin this cat to match what I want/need. It seems like I may not be able to do it... I don't know. I never questioned whether or not the RT was a "good deal" or not. I simply stated that it was way out of reach for ME to even consider...

    Spyder RS Seat/Steering Conversion

    Yep. That would resolve the backrest thing. But that was really the LEAST of my concerns, since there are many companies that can customize a seat. My MAIN concern is with the seating position itself. I desire to ride in an UPRIGHT position, just like they made the RT. Having risers installed...

    Spyder RS Seat/Steering Conversion

    OK. I believe I have a buyer for my MP3 500, and now I'm needing to decide on which Spyder to purchase. Hands down I like the RT best, without a doubt. I love the way they made it so you are actually SITTING UPRIGHT, instead of leaning forward. But the pricetag is so freaking high that it's...

    watch operation repo

    I got a kick out of how Froy couldn't figure out how to start the thing! I feel sorry for the guy, though. That looked like a really nice Spyder.

    Spyder / Piaggio MP3 500 Need Advice

    Your Gonna Think I'm Completely NUTS! Well, I know you all are going to think I'm completely NUTS, but I've decided to SELL my Piaggio MP3. It's been sitting in the garage for a couple months now due to the weather here in Chicagoland, and I've had a lot of time to really think things over...

    $289?!? Wow! Yeah, I'd say that was a bargain! I'll definitely be contacting them to see if they can do anything for my bike. Thanks. Derwin

    BLING

    So those are all decals that are applied to your bike? Are they durable? Heck, I would really like to make something like this for my bike, but I want to make sure there durable and will not just peel off. I have to admit, I would never have thought they were decals... I thought for sure it was...

    BLING

    LOL...That's true! After thinking about it, I guess it's better to have the spider theme, or ANY theme, rather than NO THEME AT ALL....And that's what I have with my "MP3 500".... NO theme at all. Now that's a bummer! nojoke Derwin

    BLING

    Wow! That's the first time I heard somebody say that, and I am in COMPLETE agreement with you. I never liked the "spider" theme given to this bike, but didn't really want to express that opinion to anyone. I see there ARE others with the same opinion! Hey, SpyderWolf.... That design is CRAZY...

    MagicMan products for the MP3 500?

    No, I have not. But I'll be talking with them after the holidays about this, and let them know that I have another person interested. Maybe we can get a better price if combining our efforts! Derwin

    MagicMan products for the MP3 500?

    Well, it's a BLIZZARD here in Chicagoland, so I haven't had a chance to ride it too often lately! But I did get a chance to put some miles on it the first couple weeks I got it. Heck, I rode it out to my niece in Indiana, and it was simply FANTASTIC. I LOVED IT! The stability with the 2 wheels...

    MagicMan products for the MP3 500?

    For the past couple years I've noticed what wonderful products magicman has come up with for the Spyder. Well, since my Spyder purchase is not going to be for a while now, and I currently own a Piaggio MP3 500, I was wondering if he has anything that can be added to this vehicle. So, MagicMan...
