• 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.

    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.

    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!

    Having Apple CarPlay problems with iPhone 17 - anyone had success with the 2024/25 dash and an Apple 17? Issue Resolved Woo Hoo

    I had errands to do today so I tested my theory about the orientation of the USB C end. I had four stops and connected the cord with the end in regular orientation, reverse orientation, regular, reverse. The fault was consistent and repeatable. If the null hypothesis for my test was that...

    Well, that is a horse of a different color. What you are saying is exactly what I was thinking (after a little thinking) but I hadn't been able to test that theory yet. I will go ahead and do my little experiment because well - science!

    Having Apple CarPlay problems with iPhone 17 - anyone had success with the 2024/25 dash and an Apple 17? Issue Resolved Woo Hoo

    I checked my phone and VPN is also not connected. However, I may have resolution and it does not make any sense. I rode over to my dealer today to pick their brains on this issue. I was still using the short cable with a 90 degree USB C connector. ACP reset a half dozen times on my trip across...

    Having Apple CarPlay problems with iPhone 17 - anyone had success with the 2024/25 dash and an Apple 17? Issue Resolved Woo Hoo

    I am using a 1.5' braided cable that is "supposed" to support high speed data as well as charging and is specifically marketed for ACP. It also has a 90 degree USB C connector which is convenient in the confines of the glovebox. I have also used an Optimate 4 battery maintainer since I drove it...

    Having Apple CarPlay problems with iPhone 17 - anyone had success with the 2024/25 dash and an Apple 17? Issue Resolved Woo Hoo

    I have been using Apple Carplay with great success on my 2025 Canyon with my iPhone 14. However, last week I took delivery of an iPhone 17 and that is when the problems started. The phone and my headset paired to the Canyon just like the 14 did. I turned on my headset, started the Canyon and...

    What is your plan for Replacement batteries for the Canyon?

    Maybe I am living in denial but I haven't thought about battery replacement for my Canyon yet. I did add a fused pigtail to the battery the day I bought it (mid April) and have used an Optimate maintainer whenever it is parked at home. To tell you the truth I hadn't even noticed it was only a...
