• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Just back from a run to Langholm and over to Eskdalemuir (there is a Tibetan monastery there). Temperature around 7 degrees and wet roads, snow at Eskdalemiur and a brief hail storm near the temple. A round trip of about 70 miles hands and backside warm - feet freezing. A decent run out and the...

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    I have looked at the many opinions on the forum on tyres and as some know, I fitted a Vredestein on the rear recently. I honestly think it handles rough road surfaces better than the standard OEM tire, altho we have only covered about 150mls since fitting as the weather has been crap, but it...

    When the aliens arrive, I would like a seat at the front please. I have put landing instructions on my outhouse roof, fingers crossed. Some sage advice here.

    Random thought for the day

    We did the Rockies on motorcycles 22 years ago, and when we were in Kelowna, the woman on reception gave us a large umbrella and told us to make ourselves big if we encountered a bear. Difficult to do when we both weighed around 120lbs and were 5ft 4in tall!

    Any feedback on this Inexpensive Bluetooth Intercomm for all helmets?

    I got a pair of Fodsports FXs for around £70, decent quality for the price we thought.

    At 8000 mls, the rear tyre could be ready for change. I have just fitted a new rear at 6,7750 mls, swapping OEM for a Vredstein 205/60/15. It feels ok and I hope for better mileage.

    Complete Newbie Experiences - 2021 RT Limited

    Hi John and welcome to a forum that is educational. I bought our Spyder RTL September last year and used it all winter. At first I thought I had made a very expensive mistake, but as the miles clocked up, so did my confidence. At around 1500 miles I knew I had made a good choice. 50 yrs on two...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Took my Spyder out today, first time since tyre change (weather has been awful for over 2 weeks). Temp was around 40°F but managed 80 miles. New Vredestein Quattrac feels good! yahoo

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    This was my first change and I followed all I could on this site to carry the job out. I'm not new to bits of m/c mechanics, but I feel at 70, I tend to over think the job in hand.'. I taped mine, (from a video on this site) but a good tip, thanks.
