• 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.

    Any suggestions on Keeping Warm?

    My wife and I are by nature always cold; perhaps that's why the heat in Las Vegas doesn't bother us. However, the winter months here would be ideal for ryding if not for getting so cold all the time. Most places in the Southwest seem to run between 30 degrees in the morning and 60 in the...

    make it sound better

    When I was in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago, I rented a Spyder that had one of those custom exhausts. OMG that thing was loud! I would NEVER EVER EVER put such a thing on my Spyder. After five hours on that thing with no earplugs, my ears were seriously ringing and hurting. I was really and...

    Had laser alignment done--- doesn’t feel right.

    Thank you for the offer, but for now I will pass. I hear very good things about your service, but my motto has always been, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Right now I feel very secure as I fly around corners and I can take my hands off the handlebar on a level road and my Spyder will track...

    Had laser alignment done--- doesn’t feel right.

    Deer30084, they tell you that the only reason you don't need these "upgrades" is because you are only 125 lbs. I am 6'-4" and 200 lbs and my wife almost always rydes with me. That's a total of over 300 lbs and yet my Spyder tracks and handles great with the factory equipment and settings. And...

    Un oh, no start

    Perhaps a stupid question, but you didn't say and thus I have to ask: Are you sure the "Engine Stop" switch a/k/a "kill switch" (red switch on the right handlebar) is set to the "run" position? As I recall if it's not in the "run" position you'd probably have these symptoms and it's also easy...

    A bit of pinstriping made my Spyder look fantastic.......

    Very nice work. Are those paint stripes or tape stripes? [nice work regardless, but pinstriping with paint is nearly a lost art]

    2018 RT AUDIO SYSTEM SUCKS!!!

    How can you play the stereo -- ANY stereo -- loud enough to hear over the wind noise and sound of the engine at highway speed? And wind noise and engine sound are already more than enough to cause hearing loss at highway speed. Do you not care about what this is doing to your hearing? Hearing...

    Opinion Rhapsody -- EVERYONE Should Watch This ...

    Because it's not just funny, it's also incredibly perceptive about people and how we interact on the internet AND BTW does not take any political position: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IABRgZH12YA

    Anyone ever sell something you won?

    Agree with everything you said except that it would be a W-2G since it was won in a raffle and a raffle is considered gambling income. See my previous post above. Not that it makes any significant difference, we're in agreement that taxes will be due. I think you are right that you wouldn't...

    Trailer fitment width?

    Yeah, August in the desert is hot, but it's a tradeoff. The northern states have their three months of freezing temperatures and snow and ice whereas we have our three months of heat. Summer riding in the Southwest is entirely possible if you get an early start, wear cooling vests, and keep...

    Anyone ever sell something you won?

    Whether you sell it or keep it, it's taxable income. You'll probably get a W-2G for it. See https://www.bnncpa.com/industries/tax_exempt_organizations/blog/raffles_by_tax_exempt_organizations I mention this because the tax liability might be a few hundred dollars on a $3000 prize, and if you...

    Helmet Headset ....hmmm

    Part of me always wants to upgrade my headset based on the theory that if it's more expensive, it must be better. Well, most of the more expensive models seem to be expensive because you're really paying for features and performance you may not even want or need. Flamewinger is right. We...

    What's Happening?

    You post but what you type never appears - solved by editing and copy/paste PLUS adding reason for editing. Also noticed that "What's New" isn't right. I posted twice successfully - one in response to another new post - and neither shows up in "What's New." At least your PMs worked.

    Is PM working?

    I received your PM but I am waiting for a better read on the weather before deciding. Not equipped for riding in 24 degree temp supposedly the average low temp for Kanab in Dec.

    Rentals for Spyders (in Ohio & elsewhere)

    Hawaii Spyder Rental Reference previous post saying that there is no Spyder rental in Hawaii any more. Perhaps that might have been right at the time, but my wife and I rented a Spyder from them yesterday here in Waikiki and had a blast for 5 hours. Circled Tantalus Drive, over to Kaneohe...

    Pouch under windshield.

    I don't know of any such pouches other than the three piece set. Some places sell "just" the center pouch of the three pouch set or you can buy the three-piece set and just not install the sides. I personally bought the three pouch set and it works for me. The side pockets are small and all I...

    HAPPY O'CANNIBIS DAY

    You may be right, although it makes me wonder if it's more of an allergic reaction than an actual effect of delta-9 THC. Or perhaps it's a little of both. Touche. At least you don't have to worry about coming back positive on an Air Force piss test.

    HAPPY O'CANNIBIS DAY

    Sorry, but that is indeed baloney. The Air Force studied secondhand smoke extensively in the 1980s because that was the buzzword among those who came back positive on the piss test. The Air Force concluded you couldn't get a detectable amount of THC from marijuana as secondhand smoke even if...

    HAPPY O'CANNIBIS DAY

    Theoretically true but not actually true. Here in Nevada we already had "medical marijuana" when we moved here five years ago. There were signs all over the place for "Dr. Reefer" who would write you a prescription for weed if you said you had a headache. And weed was never sold at the...

    And yet another one....

    When Am I Supposed to Need This? I know I don't ride as much as some, but I'm well over 3000 miles now on my RT and have yet to notice ANY vibration that I was certain was related to the Spyder and not the road. It's easy to worry yourself sick over stuff you read in this forum. I myself...
