• 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.

    USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

    Been a while, and I'm sure there are many new members here. Here's mine: In my "former life", I was a U.S. Army UH-1H flight engineer or "crew chief". I served with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) out of Ft. Campbell, KY supporting Task Force 3/327th in the Sinai. We were the U.S...

    Wondering about replacing my '21 Spyder with a '26 (or '27) - any thoughts on the newer Spyders being different or better enough to justify the spend?

    If you can do it and still be in financial good shape, do it. You can't line your coffin with hundred dollar bills, right???

    I've been Riding with two nuts! Does the wheel rotation tend to undo a lug nut if it's loose?

    I'm thinking that one nut wasn't tightened to the correct torque specification. You're lucky you didn't lose a wheel and go careening off a cliff ....

    My F3S tire is showing wear after only 2000 miles.

    I'm thinking it's a bit overinflated. Try a pressure that's on the lower end of the recommended range and report back ....

    Too hot to ride, or maybe I’m just getting old

    As you get older, your body has a more difficult time regulating its internal temperature and dealing with extreme heat. That's just a biological fact. It SUCKS getting old !!!! (Then again, it beats the alternative, LOL).

    Can a Spyder replace a motorcycle?

    I think the Spyder is safer than a motorcycle. You really don't have to think much in terms of shifting and turning, and the whole balancing thing is taken out of the equation. It's not as "fun" as a regular motorcycle, but it still provides some s(miles), especially if you're older and are...

    Is it worth swapping my Ryker Sport for a Spyder RT 2019 - Now Done!

    The Ryker is more of a "bar hopper", while the RT is more of a touring machine. You need to figure out what you'll use the trike mostly for, and if the upgrade is worth it. RTs are FAR more comfortable and will last quite a while if cared for properly (like most machines).

    Does this Belt Tensioner Idler Stabilizer Roller look familiar? Are any parts (Rollers) interchangeable??

    Like most items in life, you get what you pay for. Go with the one from Lamonster. It "should" last about 15,000 miles before the roller needs to be replaced.

    Should I roll off the Throttle when upshifting, or maintain the position? What are the best RPM's?

    IMHO, the less jerky the upshifts are, the longer your front sprocket will last. That being said, I'll offer 2 tips that make these upshifts smooth and seamless: Shift between 3000-3200 rpms whenever possible. I've found that the faster the motor spins, the more jerkier the upshifts; and Hold...

    My Battery Life Span and some Replacement Tips.

    Well, after 7 years on the original stock battery, I noticed that the cranking speed during the start sequence was getting slower. I decided to replace the battery so I wouldn't get stuck on the road with a no-start problem. To be honest, I'm pretty impressed on how long it lasted. I think I...

    Yes, good memory !! The bike I rode that day was my first Harley, an XL883 Low. The current bike I have now is the Iron 1200. It's a bit quicker with the extra 317ccs, and I REALLY love the look a bit better with the mini-apes and fairing. The Cobra Neighbor Hater slip-on exhausts are also...

    I thought about riding to your house last Saturday on my Iron 1200 (I don't think you've ever seen it) when it was 70 degrees (SEVENTY DEGREES !!!), but I was preoccupied with installing this seat. Here are a few pics of my expensive vibrator/noisemaker: -

    Yeah, like you I'm itching to ride. I think it's because of this unusually warm weather we've been experiencing. (It's SO difficult to get into skiing/snowboarding this year (I do both), because the snow is too slushy and sticky. Oh well ....) Anyway, here are before and after pics as per...
