I remember fixing a flat tire on my R75/5 just north of LaPlace on the side of US 61. Not much of an apron and a canal/swamp next to that. Had a Cotton Mouth watching me from the water the whole...

Did this issue get resolved or is your "replace an ignition module" post a continuation of this problem? We need more information either in this post or in the other thread...
Tho not with Geico, when I hit a dog, I went to the dealer who repaired/replaced the damaged peices and billed the insurance company. I paid my deductable and was good to go. I never thought about...
Let us know how the installation went. Did you order thru your dealer?
26-year survivor of Prostate Cancer. 5 weeks radiation, the first 4 weeks weren't too bad, but that last one really made me sick. I took a month off work to recover. Then they did a day of timed...
Thank you Mike for the reminder. I always visit my Dad on memorial day. He was a WWII Navy veteran. I remember that not only is he my Father, but he helped save the world for freedom.
I actually still have 2. A Remington, and a Royal. Great machines.
Back in the day when all snowmobiles were Skidoos, "Let's go skidooing" regardless of what brand you rode. Can Am was very successful in the 60's in getting people to replace 'snowmobile' with...
Memorial Day dawned cloudy and rainy. Rain is coming down as I look out the window. Today is also Heritage Day in Spring City and many of the Pioneer and antique homes as well as the art galleries...
Mike, do you have pictures of that mod in one of your albums?
JayBros, thank you for that assembly information. By putting a little Windex on the rubber gromets I have always been able to get...
Nice video. I loved the way the horn cut in just as you went to make a comment. Did that train have any helpers in the middle or on the rear? That seemed to be a lot of train for 3 locomotives to...
If you have a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints genealogy center near you, they have machines there that you can use to digitize films and photos to your own thumb drive or to Google Drive....
I got mine from MacMaster-Carr but I believe LaMonster has them now.
BTW, if in the future you put the year and model of Spyder in your signature as per the Sticky, it helps us to help you better...
It is a learning process, and one of the things I learned is that the tightening process for me always results in the right-side adjustor cap being loose. I have found that for me, the best thing to...
If I remember correctly, the wheel wells extend into the bed thus making it unusable for a 5.5 ft load.
Darn Ron, I was looking forward to that opportunity.
The group I ride with is not brand specific. When I joined them in 1993 there were around 80 of us, most on Gold Wings and then me on a Venture Royale. I am still will that group but now there are...
Yes it should Pete and thanks for catching that. I have now fixed it.
I put 78,000+ miles plus on my 2012. In 2023 the belt decided to shed some teeth, about 6 in a row. I don't know if it was age or milage. I replaced it with a used belt also from a 2012 but with only...
I did not realize we were talking about a Spyder that old. No you are not eligible for the BEST warranty. That has to be purchased before the factory expires.
great video Trent. Thanks for sharing.
I use jacks or ramps. I tried lifting it by hand once but it was just too heavy.
I use a HF ATV lift left over from my Venture days and ramps for as jack stands. If I am doing tires I just use the...
First I have to disagree with the comment about the Spyder not being a motorcycle. It is not a 2 wheel motorcycle. It does everything a 2 wheel motorcycle does, except lean and fall over if you...
Part 2 of #16: After returning from Puerto Rico, a friend of mine helped me get a job at USS Geneva Steel in April of 1973, a fully integrated steel mill in Orem, Utah. I went to work as a laborer in...
Is your Spyder not eligible for the B.E.S.T warranty from BRP?
so Ron are you saying that 14-19 shocks are better than 2011 shocks?
:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::clap:
Unfortunately, this is true. Back in the day when my antique was built (2012) you could excuse some of this as part of the learning curve, but we have long past that peak. I don't remember where now...
However, as Mike said earlier in post #2. It doesn't increase the WEIGHT you can carry only the volume. Good luck with your trip. What a great adventure.
I use my ATV/Motorcycle jack to lift it up, then put the ramps under it backwards so they don't interfere with me being underneath. For me, it is less hassle to jack it up & then place the ramps.
