• 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.

    Looking at going from Goldwing to a Spyder RT

    I'm glad you weren't seriously injured and hope you heal quickly. I am formerly a winger (29 years). Based on medical advice, I switched from 2 wheels to 3 wheels in 2012. First went to a 2012 Spyder RTS SE5 and rode it 2 up with my wife on the back. I loved all the features of the Spyder but...

    My dilemma!

    Faced a similar dilemma recently. After 29 years on Wings I needed to get off of 2 wheels so wife and I sold our bikes & we bought a new 2012 RTS Magnesium Metallic with matching BRP trailer. We tried riding 2 up for a while and that didn't suit either my wife or me. Long story short I bought...

    Goldwing to Spyder

    I rode Goldwings for 29 years but about 18 months ago I developed a health problem that told me I shouldn't be riding on 2 wheels. I initially considered giving up riding all together. However, my wife was also riding a 2 wheeler and didn't want to stop riding. After serious thought we...

    Let's create a Spyderfest Northeast!

    Cortland sounds like a good possibility. Finger lakes or Lake Placid also are appealing. NY is a beautiful state. My wife and I would be interested in almost anyplace in NY. We go to Americade every year and always enjoy the rally. My wife is now the primary rider of our Spyder and she is...

    CB radio on a 2012 RT A/c SE5

    We have the BRP CB on our 2012 RTS which my wife is now riding. I'm now riding a 2013 Harley Tri Glide which has the Harley CB. Our communication between the two bikes is clear and strong. On the other hand, GPS VOLUME on the Spyder is not strong and is a pain to adjust. I'm very unhappy...

    GPS Voice Module

    I experienced the same problem. In addition to what you have already done, turn your FM volume up to almost max level and then mute it. You should then be able to hear the GPS voice. I don't like this solution, but it does work for me. Since I don't listen to the FM, it is just annoying to...

    Gps volume

    I can feel your pain. I just got my Spyder last Thursday and I have spent a lot of time trying to balance the radio, intercom and GPS volumes. Since I rarely listen to the radio, I mute the radio and the intercom and GPS volumes are loud enough and clear. At this point, I haven't figured out...

    We now have our new 2012 RTS SE5

    We took delivery of our new Spyder on Thursday and we are thrilled to have it. Because we preferred the Magnesium Metallic color, we elected to go with the RTS SE5. We added some goodies to it so I suppose we can call it an RTS Plus. It is not quite a "Limited" but it is equipped the way we...

    Reasonable Price for BEST & BEST Plus Plans?

    I'm considering buying one of the B.E.S.T. Protection plans for my "soon to be" 2012 RTS SE5. I haven't been quoted any cost figures yet. What would be a reasonable price to pay? Do any dealers discount these plans? Thanks, Ed
