Welcome to SpyderLovers, @NutinElse2do.

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.

Thank you for opening your home to me….
Long time rider, miss my 1978 Z1R Kawasaki from many many years past…
Retired since 2019, winter in Southern Arizona, summer anywhere but Arizona ;-). Usually in the PNW. But we want to go East coast this summer with a Spyder on a trailer behind our RV. Park for a few days, tour on the Spyder then move to next spot.
Wanting a Spyder for stability and comfort for me and my wife of 30 years. we used to drive 2 up on a Yamaha Venture for many years, but those days are gone…
Reaction time and reflexes not what they used to be so moving to a Spyder.
Haven’t even test drove one yet, hard to find a dealer willing to give a demo
So still haven’t pulled the trigger on a Spyder, still waiting for that perfect deal of low mileage, right color, and right price. Missed a 2024 RT limited brand new for 19k serves me right for over thinking everything.
Have many questions about things, some I have searched and found answers others still are kinda vague.
Again thanks for opening the door, will continue learning and reading…
Great site..

New Spyder rider here! We just traded a 2018 Goldwing for a 2024 RT Limited to reignite 2-up riding and allow my wife to get back into the “fun part” of driving it. We both had bikes before children and I had something to ride 25 out of the last 44 years. Most dealers in Florida offer test rides under various “waivers” - call ahead to be sure. We bought the Spyder after a test ride, however, I took the 3-wheeler safety course along with my wife - she needed a license endorsement. I strongly suggest taking the class. They typically have Ryker 900’s - I assure you the Spyder has better characteristics such as comfort, power, and features - the training will help enormously. These are not motorcycles and new skills are required. Experiencing the 3-wheel approach to steering, braking, swerving, keeping the inside front wheel on the ground during hard turns, how to “drift” in turns, etc - on a closed supervised course, very valuable!
Your plan to take it with you camping sounds like a lot of fun! We have similar plans - one of us will pull the Teardrop camper with the truck while the other rides the Spyder, changing places every couple of hours of travel to the next camp site. Then tour the area with the Spyder. Part time until retirement in a couple of years.
Best of luck in your search for the new ride.
