• 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.

    Tilting CanAm Spyder

    Thanks, guys, for the fast replies! When he was telling me about the leaning CanAm Spyder, I thought it was kind of strange, and I even mentioned the Harley Davidson patent. But he was adamant about it being the CanAm Spyder. Well, if you guys did not hear about it, then he probably just has...

    Tilting CanAm Spyder

    I was enjoying a nice Macanudo Cigar today at my friends cigar shop, and we were discussing the CanAm Spyder. One guy told me he read an article somewhere that said that brp is coming out with a new Spyder model that will have the ability to TILT in turns. Has anybody else heard about this? If...

    Funny thing....

    Hello fellow Spyder Lovers! I just wanted to come back here and post that Lake Effect PowerSports in Michigan finally did send me a refund of the $1,000 that I put down last December. As you all know, they did NOT have to do it, but they did. I find this to be incredibly honorable, and I am...

    Just got the bad news about Lamonster's Dad

    I haven't posted in a while, but I knew I had to stop in and let you know that I am praying for you and your family. My Dad is still around at 78 years old, and I still can't even imagine what it would be to lose him. Love and prayers are sent your way. Derwin

    Funny thing....

    As many of you already know, I have been waiting for my Spyder SE5 since last December. As many of you may ALSO know, I have had a problem scratching up the remaining money to pay for it when it arrives. Well, we are in September now, and still no Spyder! I was personally told by a member of the...

    Couldn't Wait Any Longer.....

    Congratulations on getting your spyder!

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    Absolutely! What clinched it for me was when I actually test drove it in Wilmington, Illinois. The "wow" factor is with both vehicles, but the Spyder DOES win hands down on that. Also, I feel that the Spyder is just so much more stable and much more safe to ride than ANY 2 wheeled (or 3 wheeled...

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    But to my point..... What is the difference that should cause one person to think themselves better than another simply because one is riding a machine that has an automatic transmission (scooter and some motorcycles), and the other is riding a machine with a manual transmission (most...

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    Well, I guess I respectfully dissagree with your opinion. I have witnessed far too many products of even higher cost and less recognition sell over the internet "sight unseen" by people from across the country, and, in fact, from other parts of the world. I have been in marketing for over 20...

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    That's pretty strange. Literally BILLIONS of dollars in commerce takes place over the internet on a daily basis. There are tons of protections in place to help the consumer and the seller. Back in the 1990's it was risky, but not really in todays world. I have sold MANY of these over the...

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    Well, I told Brett (dealership manager) to contact me when it arrives, but he still has not contacted me. So I really don't know where my Spyder is at this point in time. It's probably for the good anyway since I don't have all of the cash to pay for it. By the way, mrfilovirus..... Are you...

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    Yep! It IS unique! I think that's why so many people absolutely LOVE the Spyder. It's also why I ordered one. :2thumbs: But PAYING for it is a whole other matter. :D Still nobody interested in a nice VogueOne vehicle? It has 3 wheels...and it TILTS! It also gets around 80 miles per gallon. Very...

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    Well, how is a "scooter" different than a "motorcycle"....or any other 2 or 3 wheeled vehicle that gets a person around? The MP3 has a 500cc engine....pretty good if you ask me. A lot of small motorcycles don't have that! The only visable difference that I can see is that a "scooter" has a small...

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    Semi.... Sorry to hear about your loss. I've also lost a close friend due to an accident they say was caused by a vehicle failure. Not a bike, but a car. I would hate to see something like that happen with somebody riding a Spyder, but these are machines made by human-beings which are fallible...

    Piaggio MP3 500, an alternative?

    Ah, heck, I may as well jump in on this! I have been looking at the CanAm Spyder and the Piaggio MP3 for some time now. As you all know, I decided upon the Spyder. They are BOTH great products, in quality as well as just plain fun. I think they are in different catagories, though. I would feel...

    FINANCING THE SPYDER

    Yeah, I did read his report, and it concerned me a LITTLE bit. But then I also read all of the comments from OTHER people that had different experiences on the SE5. At this point, I WILL NOT cancel my order. I will have to be taken down crying and scratching and clawing all the way. I do intend...

    FINANCING THE SPYDER

    Wow! Great advice! Thanks for that. But the problem that I am having has NOTHING to do with what own and/or owe money on. I am not one to finance too many things. I like paying CASH. It's no different with the Spyder SE5 that I've had on order since last year. As I said earlier, I have $10,000...

    FINANCING THE SPYDER

    Well, I pretty much gave-up on getting my Spyder when I posted that. But then I began thinking that I am so very close, that I just had to at least TRY to scratch up the remaining $6,000. Heck, I have $10,000 cash in my hand now, so all I have to do is sell 2 of those new vehicles, and I'll have...

    FINANCING THE SPYDER

    I am so very close! Well, friends, I am so VERY close, that I can almost feel the Spyder under me as I race down the road. But I really am going to need the help of just 2 people to put me over the top with this thing. I have an auction up at ebay right now. If ANYBODY would like to help me...
