• 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.

    Your Weather News @ FEBRUARY 2026 Edition

    Forecast for tomorrow is Sunny and low 60°s F, so I'm going to ride! I've got a few phone calls to make in the morning, so I'm trying to decide for somewhere to go for lunch that's a couple of hours away.

    Prepping for the ultimate riding season - have I missed anything?

    I remember driving Beartooth Highway. :oops: I was in a Geo Tracker with 4WD, which was a really good thing. It was late June and while trying to get through the pass I was caught in a snow storm and was very glad the roadway was marked with tall orange poles. When I got down out of the snow...

    Has anyone fixed the CarPlay garbled speech?

    Well, I didn't ride like I had planned, and it's currently raining here. It's supposed to be dry tomorrow, and if it is I will ride and report what happens. But just to be clear, I only use my SENA headset for Apple CarPlay navigation directions. I don't use Siri and I rarely get text messages.

    Has anyone fixed the CarPlay garbled speech?

    I use a Sena 3S Plus headset that I installed in an HJC helmet and use an iPhone 16e with my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky. I haven't checked for updates for my Spyder recently, but I did update it not too long ago. I haven't checked for updates to the Sena headset recently, but it's been working...

    Can I get GPS on my 2024 S2S 10.25" screen; or GPS Software/Hardware, Apples to Oranges, or maybe not...

    Interesting, as I don't remember having that problem. But, I haven't ridden in a while, so I might be misremembering. I'm meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow, and Google Maps says the fastest route is 6.8 miles. So I plotted a return trip using the Google Maps application on my computer using a...

    I use the Google Maps application on my desktop computer and I have the Google Maps App installed on my iPhone. Note that I use the Google Maps applications, not the maps.google.com website. I plan a route on my computer by entering a starting and ending point, which auto generates a route. I...
