• 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.

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

    Someone needed the nut more than you while at the dealership or motel. :unsure:

    You knew it had to come - there's a Chinese Spyder!

    Watching the video the trike seems to be very bouncy up front. Haven't noticed that on my RT.

    Do any other members wear a Wearable airbag?

    I'm 80, 'spirited', and wear ATGATT. None of my fellow riders have moved up to airbags yet. Cost and comfort are the primary issues.

    How do the newer upgrade Kenda tires compare with the old model Kenda tires?

    If you are good with a wrench, the rear wheel should be no problem. Lots of videos and walk-thrus in the wild.

    Looking for Navigation options besides ACP - What do you recommend?

    What seems to be lost in this discussion is that BRP is a recreational machine manufacturer. They aren't application designers. BRP-GO is still a non-starter for true navigation use. To the OP, focus on stand-alone GPS units or your phone. Your mental health specialist will thank you.

    Looking for Navigation options besides ACP - What do you recommend?

    If phone is your device of choice this will add another layer/device and battery drain on phone that already has several cons (single point of failure being #1). Note: Beeline Moto II requires a smartphone and Bluetooth connection to operate.

    Looking for Navigation options besides ACP - What do you recommend?

    For us 'veteran' Garmin users, Basecamp still works well enough to create custom routes using the default 'ride types' and tweaking with D&D or adding Waypoints. Simple D&D from the PC to the Garmin unit. Several newer phone mapping apps with crisper GUIs (if phone is your solution) and Garmin...

    The Zumo 590/595 also support .mp3 storage/playback.

    Random thought for the day

    He could have suggested you graze in the back yard. :unsure:

    Garmin Zumos for years. Designed for Motorcycles from ground up. My 595 is still going strong (see avatar). Waterproof, sun proof, shake (& crash) proof. Glove-friendly. Doesn't drain the phone resources, works in cell-less areas. Phones overheat and shut down on hot sunny days.

    Anyone done a Cat Delete leaving stock muffler on?

    The ECM will adjust automatically to the Cat Delete. No tune is needed unless you want a few additional horses.

    Any suggestions on good Ear protection for lowering wind noise?

    Eargasm and Earpeace have the best plugs for motorcycling. Blocks the wind but lets speech and music in.

    12 injured after the Rider of a Spyder loses control in Brooklyn, NY

    Like Pappy used to say, "When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout". :eek:

    Scored a 2023 RT today!

    Congrats! You live in a biker's playground and the Spyder will do well there. Note that the RT range is shorter than most tourers so gas up often. Also, riding in snow on a Spyder sucks! Between single rear wheel drive plowing the fronts and trying to ride in the car tire tracks up front with...

    Spyder decisions - any suggestions on what to buy as my first Spyder?

    Clearly, we are a very mixed bag of riders here. My personal experience on the '20 RT is that it/I do very well keeping up with my sport-touring BMW crazy friends in the twisties and on the slab. But when they sprint off a corner the RT can't compete. The F3 should be able to do even better...
