• 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.

    Any suggestions on a good riding camera - need one, after a road rage incident!

    I have an Insta360 One RS that I mount to the bar. 360 degrees of viewing comes in handy. Not just for rage and accidents, but to document some of the nice things you see on your rides. This was 1 of my 1st vids. I moved the camera around a bit to try to get the best spot to place it. I now...

    2025 Demo rides are on their way!!

    I tested the F3 a couple of times and I feel about it the way you feel about RT. I'm an inch or so taller than you and the F3 feels more cramped to me. The boards on the 20+ RTs help a lot with that to me. I like them both, but the RT suits me better. Now, if I had some extra coins, I'd have...

    2025 Demo rides are on their way!!

    From my experience, that site updates as they get closer to the demo dates. For instance, the map didn't include a dealer in Georgia when it was 1st published. I think I saw it a month or so prior to the demo date.

    2025 Demo rides are on their way!!

    I had the pleasure of meeting the 2 legends in Cartersville, Ga. The Canyon Red Rock was a surprisingly nice ride. If you haven't seen it in person, don't let the pics fool you. It looks so much better. The pics and videos don't do it justice. Anyway, I had good time chatting it up with them...

    2025 Pulse and Origin Reveal - did they fail mileage hopes?

    I went to a local shop at the beginning of February. They had the Origin on display, but the Pulse wasn't in yet. I was speaking to the sales person and told them it looked nice, a lot bigger than I expected even with the adventure element. Then, I said this isn't for folks in the city who want...

    HD Trike Lawsuit

    Geesh. That's a sad story. The $ will change things eventually, but they still won't return life. :( On a lighter note... $~37K back then... Spyders didn't cross $30K until after the S2S appeared.

    Tell Me Something Good About Your Spyder Ownership Experience

    Great posts. Thanks folks. Its good to see that some were able to experience wind therapy for the 1st time or as an alternative to 2 wheels, ride with loved ones, feel secure, survive the perils of darting animals, have a reliable machine, deal with a few maintenance issues but not enough to...

    PedalBox and Pedal Commander - what do they do and how do they work?

    So, the issue here is the phrase throttle response vs sensitivity. Hmmm... Overall 2 things can be true/false. My analogy would be this. 2 racers line up who run the exact speed, but 1 starts running at the sound of the gun vs the other who starts running due to a green light, it is more likely...

    Tell Me Something Good About Your Spyder Ownership Experience

    So, I just read through a post about the negatives of Spyder ownership. A lot of responses were mostly contrary. So, that had thinking, what's something good that came out of owning a Spyder/Ryker for you? I'll start: I wanted one since I first saw them hit the market. I never rode 2 wheels...

    2025 Pulse and Origin Reveal - did they fail mileage hopes?

    not ridiculous. Pulse $14K-16K+ all the fees Origin $14.5K 16.5K+ all the fees. Of course, based on different available trims https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/us/en/models/motorcycles/pulse.html
