• 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.

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    I have ridden bikes for forty years. Engines all have some smells and motorcycles more so with their open engines. I have never had motorcycle that smells of gasoline as strongly as my wife's Spyder after a ride. Not even close.... not any where near close. The smell fills my two car garage and...

    Drive Belt deteriating

    Agree completely. This is continued rubbing of the belt on something else that is stationary. A rock lodged in the belt would not look like this... and especially along the full length of the belt.

    Poliaris Slingshot

    In fairness, I understand your viewpoint living in Minnesota, but many areas can ride year-round. Even in NJ, I ride year round many years ( though not this past winter).

    2013 RT Fire, 26 July 2014

    URegarding a fire extinguisher, quite frankly if ours was to be enflamed to that point, I would prefer it finish the burn.

    2013 RT Fire, 26 July 2014

    My biggest concern is after a ride as well....I let it sit in the driveway. I have an attached garage and house fire could result in more danger than just the ting burning at the side of the road.

    Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap

    we still have the smell too when parked hot. Think just a function of the gas boiling in the tank....

    This is kind of depressing

    Exactly...a couple stoplights can kill the average. I really proud when I did a 375 mile trip once and averaged just over 60mph including gas and bathroom stops. Not easy to do. :-)

    300 km/hr motorcycle chase

    Stupid is what that is. No place 180+ mph... beyond the Autobahn. But even there the passing on the shoulder etc. is a recipe for disaster.

    Need advice on riding across the country..

    Good raingear for a long trip. I carry a tire repair kit and tiny compressor to run off a Powerlet. I carry water and energy bars or trail mix. Take time to enjoy the sights. As you mention... this is your opportunity to ride cross country... may as well see the sights and meet some good...

    Looking for Spyder RT waterproof bag that will fit back seat without passenger

    Very nice looking bag but I prefer a bag which does not require a rain cover... so am partial to the Outlieb or Cabela's style dry duffels. My view is if you are travelling enough, your are going to meet up with rain. I prefer not to have to fined a dry place to stop, dig out a rain cover and...

    Recommend a Niagra Falls Motel on the Canadian side?

    On the US side during season, the decent hotels get very pricey for what you get. I guess they need to make up for the slow winter season. Not sure if it is different on the Canadian side, but the Canadian side is much cleaner.
