• 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.

    DON'T DRILL YOUR KEY JUST YET

    I agree!! I've never understood why someone would drill a hole in the key when the sleeve it comes with already has a hole to attach to a key ring. For me, the BRP sleeve works perfectly - put the sleeve on a key ring, slip the key out to use it, slip it back in when you're done. This way...

    did you see this armed robbery on the news

    He was probably calm because it was so obvious that the slide did not go all the way forward, so a round was not chambered. The pistol could not be fired.

    top ten motorcycles for reliability

    I must be very lucky. I've ridden BMWs for years with no reliability problems. I've had BMW RT, LT and GTL and loved them all - especially the K1600 GTL - in-line 6 cylinder with tons of power. Three riding modes - Rain, Road, and Dynamic. I called the Dynamic mode "Demonic"! It let "nanny"...

    so what do you think of this UFO

    The Loch Ness monster hangs out in ... Loch Ness.

    Noob overthinking it' I'm sure

    Not necessarily true. After my first test ride on a 2014 RT Limited, I didn't think it would work. I have ridden 2-wheelers since 1957, but mobility problems from MS was making that unworkable. I didn't want to stop riding so I decided to get the RT anyway, figuring I would get used to it...

    Riding without windshield

    I had the same problem. Then at Spyderfest a couple of years ago, I replaced the stock windshield on my 2014 RTL with a vented and tinted F4 Sport and it is almost perfect for me. The only negative is that it doesn't keep the rain off of me as well as the stock did, but I don't do much riding...

    New Full-Size Brake Pedal

    I've heard of that happening before, but the new pedal on mine doesn't do that. It works just fine. I don't have any useful advice for you, but I wanted to say hello to someone from Las Cruces. I lived there for many years, graduated from NMSU and even though I lived several other places...

    are we going to do the right thing??

    As nice as the F3 is, I doubt that it will replace the FJR for you. I rode a BMW K1600 GTL before physical limitations forced me to go to three wheels. I love my RTL Spyder and have had some great trips both alone and 2-up, but if i could still ride the Beemer, I'd have it back in a heartbeat...

    There are words on the picture? I'll have to look at it again.

    Hydroplaining - Is it an issue?

    NEVER use cruise control on wet roads. That's true on any vehicle - 2, 3, 4 or 18 wheels. I did it before I knew better and got away with it, but if you do hydroplane with the cruise on, things can get complicated really fast. Same is true on snow or patchy ice. You may have done it for...

    Wife's first Spyder - RT-S or Limited 2016

    I think you've pretty much covered the differences, but for my wife and I, it is worth the difference in price. The luggage fits perfectly and holds a surprising amount. The hard-wired GPS is great for me who has no sense of direction in a city. As for the chrome, it's sure purty...

    Sitting on a Spyder without asking? Anyone have this problem?

    I also have a sunshade from Spyder Sisters. It's very quick and easy to put on and take off and it takes up very little storage room. I highly recommend it.

    Unusual Questions You've Been Asked About Your Spyder?

    I've had several ask how much it costs and have said they really want to get one.

    Frunk won't latch

    Any time I've had that problem, it has just been that the rubber seal has been slightly displaced. I adjust it to make sure it's seated properly and it latches just fine. May not be your problem, but it's worth checking.
