• 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.

    Windshield top level with my line of sight - any recommendations for replacement?

    Just a thought, In my many years... no, eons of motorcycling experience, the ideal with any type of open vehicle experience, (motorcycle, trike) with any type of wind shield, it is best to see over the shield rather than looking thru it. If done correctly, the wind either brushes the top of your...

    2025 Demo rides are on their way!!

    Good question, very interested in seeing and trying out the Canyon series, especially the Canyon Red Rock. There are so many roads that are perfect for it here.

    Not Your Average Oil Thread - New oil, clutch 'Chirping' at idle?!

    Traded my 2019 Ryker Rally for a New Canyon Standard - First Impressions

    Excellent initial impression, very informative and really liked your impression of the uprite seating position. The GS series of the BMW's provide my favorite seating on a motorcycle.

    Had to wear Gloves for Can Am riding course - Do you wear gloves? Why? Or why not?

    I happen to have 5 or so pair of gloves from the light with holes punched in to several cold weather gloves, also a pair of heated gloves that plug into my heated clothing. I have a pair of great Kangaroo gloves. All have full gauntlets to keep the sun off of my wrists. Also a pair of hi quality...

    Had to wear Gloves for Can Am riding course - Do you wear gloves? Why? Or why not?

    At 82 years old and still riding since the early 50's, skin Cancer likes to show it's ugly head. Been using gloves, helmets and at least a long sleeve shirt always. Riding in the intense Sun here in the Southwest USA, you are much cooler with full coverage than with a lot of skin showing.

    Another Dealer Drops the Spyder Line

    Again, the sign of a quality dealership. Taking good care of your employees translates into satisfied customers - that, directly as well as indirectly, is positively a reason for a good reputation.

    Video on the Canyon Redrock by Shawn Smoke Starts at 7min 30Secs

    That Can Am Canyon would be outstanding out here. There are hundreds of miles around here, Fire Roads, Forest Service Roads and so many more. The Canyon would be perfect. It is not designed for single track and the like off roading. However it would be a home run for all the other non paved...

    Canyon Sitting on the Showroom Floor!

    That is seriously nice. A word of caution however, make sure the correct tumbler is installed in the correct piece of luggage. The tumbler for the trunk is slightly different from the ones supplied for the side bags as Shawn Smoak found out. I cannot wait to see and try one. Looks like the...
