• 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 @ March Edition 2026

    The prediction for this afternoon is 84 degrees with a heavy South wind. In the morning, it is going to be 34° with a strong North wind. I'm glad I'm not on a long trip trying to get home.

    Anybody see a measurable change in fuel mileage with larger diameter rear tire?

    Really the fuel mileage was more of a curiosity for me. The Canyon already gets better fuel mileage than my Ryker Rally did. Replacing the OEM tire with the Vred is (for me) more about wet weather control and durability. I have experienced the tarstrip hop and rear tire fishtail with the OEM...

    Anybody see a measurable change in fuel mileage with larger diameter rear tire?

    I am considering changing the 225/50-15 OEM tire on my Canyon to a 205/60-15 (probably Vredestein) before a long trip this summer. I was looking at data on an on-line vendor where I could compare specs from the OEM to the larger diameter Vredstein. Apparently the narrower/taller replacement...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Well, actually it was yesterday that I mounted the Seth Lamm seat on my Canyon Standard. However, today was the first ride. Feels pretty good and looks great.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I shipped the stock seat for my Canyon to Seth Lamm for a comfort upgrade. I have an upcoming 5K trip in mid summer I want it to be as comfortable as possible.

    Chilly temps ahead - No riding this weekend :( :)

    Here in East Texas it will be will be in the 60's with sun today. I am taking the Canyon out for groceries later. However, we are looking at a Winter storm with freezing rain and the temperature never rising above freezing from Friday night through Tuesday morning. That might not impress someone...

    BRP published a Quality Bulletin - "Canyon Saddle Bags Watertightness Improvement"

    Thanks Sarah; that is great news. I have had the disappointing leakage in my panniers multiple times in the rain.

    Interesting conversation at the gas pump - asked why I chose to ride a Spyder rather than 'a real motorcycle'?!

    Just for the record. Earning the approval of a stranger at a fuel pump does not factor into my choice of vehicles. And that is exactly what I told the last person that made disparaging remarks about my Canyon.

    Any takers to Car wash your Spyder?

    Be sure to have someone hold your beer.

    Reminder - record your End-of-Year milage for comparison/averages/new goals! And Happy New Year!

    6,278 miles on my 2025 Canyon but that is just from April 17 when I traded my 2019 Ryker Rally for it. I'll add more miles tomorrow to start 2026.

    Anyone know how to Reset the Fuel gauge on the Canyon display?

    If you are trying to reset the odometer after fill-up. (1) select statistics from the mode button; with the squares (2) toggle up and down using the ok button to the A or B odometer. (3) press and hold the OK in until the display zeros.

    Made a run to WalMart about an hour ago to get suet blocks for the birds. I had to open the vents on my Roadcrafter its nearly 80 today.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I gave my Canyon a good 100 mile run to Moose Head Cafe. Our local BMW+ club met with the Two-Wheeled Texans group for our annual Christmas lunch. Then I rode 100 miles home. We did not take the direct route. And yes, the Two-Wheeled Texans are not prejudiced; they allow three wheelers.

    Your Weather News @ December Edition 2025

    Here in East Texas the weather is best described as "unsettled". We have sun and 70°F today. Dropping to 28° Sunday night and back to 70° by Wednesday. If a front comes in from Canada, the air is dry and cold; if it comes up from the Gulf, it is wet and warm; in between, it is just foggy!
