• 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.

    Interesting conversation at the gas pump - asked why I chose to ride a Spyder rather than 'a real motorcycle'?!

    I refer to mine as "my tricycle" because that's what a friend calls hers, and I find it amusing. Friends that I ride with refer to it as my "summertime snowmobile" and we laugh! For others with an issue, I tell them to call it whatever helps them sleep at night because until they start paying my...

    Smoke from the Canadian Wildfires reaching Wisconsin - anyone/anywhere else in the lower 48?

    Very hazy here in central Michigan today :(

    Newly Bought 2010 Spyder RT for my father to enjoy his final years in life.

    We did the same for my father in law (who is Dad to me, always). No amputation, but dual hip replacements and he can't hold up a 2-wheeler anymore. We'd previously put a trike kit on my husband's first Harley, but it's too hard on him to ride. He's put more miles on his RT since Easter weekend...

    My BajaRon Adjustable Shocks Impressions

    Thank you :) I have the cat delete to put on my '23 RTL, and will suffer with the stock shocks for a bit longer, but thanks for the impression. I live in Michigan, where we have some asphalt between the potholes :rolleyes: so I imagine it won't be a horribly long time before I need to replace...

    I updated OTA software/firmware on my 2024 S2S - anyone else seen the back-up camera option?

    Do you have a part number for the fender? I haven't been able to locate it in a brief search; I found the camera and will get that, but I want it to look stock on Dad's 2024 RTL. Looks nice!

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Tires were super over-inflated from the dealer, getting them down to 18 from 28 made a difference also, but it was still a bit wonky. I have the sway bar on, and am hoping like all heck to get out this afternoon. We picked up the 2024 RTL that we got for my father in law this past weekend, and...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I'm hoping! I went from a Road Glide to the RT, and it feels really ... squishy?... comparatively. We got fiber here last year too, it's awesome!

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finally got my BajaRon sway bar installed on Sunday. Tried to take it out for a ride but the wind was just brutal - made it 1/4 mile to the Stop sign and called it a day. I'll get her out later today or tomorrow, when it's not supposed to be gale-force winds out (I exaggerate... a little!) The...

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    Thank you! If he doesn't get it done shortly (it's still winter, or maybe winter again, up here, and Marsali is trapped in front of a bike he's working on for a friend) I will. I need an excuse to go to TN anyway!

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    I know this is an old thread, but I still don't have the sway bar installed. Are there updated install instructions on your website, by any chance? At the rate my husband is doing work on OUR vehicles as opposed to OTHER PEOPLE's vehicles, it might be quicker for me to come see you to install...

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    I've been in exactly 2 Buc-cee's. Which, in my humble opinion, is 3 too many. Both times, I got brisket sandwiches, which tasted amazing. And went right through me :( Their restrooms are amazing though, and that's the only good thing I can say about them... I'm an introvert, hate crowds, and a...

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    I jumped in the deep end, as BajaRon so eloquently puts it! Went from a 2015 Road Glide to a 2023 RTL. And, if I am 100% completely honest, because my RTL is "my" red. Had no intention of buying a 3-wheeler any time soon, just wandering the dealership while hubby was dealing with the service...

    How can I confirm s/ware updates on Pre-purchase checklist were done?

    I think they tried to ignore me, but I'm a bit pushy when I want a new toy...I texted or emailed them daily, didn't give them an opportunity to ignore me. Wiring $10K was a bit of a struggle for me, since I didn't want to let that money go! I did try canceling, once I found out about the dealer...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    What sort of goggles did you find? I guess I should ask what kind of dogs you have, also. Ours are mini-Dachshunds. I've always been a bit leery of putting them on the 2-wheelers, but feel a little bit better about possibly having one of them on my tricycle.

    How can I confirm s/ware updates on Pre-purchase checklist were done?

    Got my RTL May 15, email from BRP on June 7. Subject was "Welcome to the Can-Am On-Road Vehicle family! Please tell us about your experience at Imotorsports Inc.." I tried clicking on the link again, but it said my response was already recorded. I was going to offer to forward it to you.
