• 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.

    2025 Can Am Brochure Die Cast Models. Hi, has anyone bought one of the die-cast models which are described in the new Can Am Brochure? I got a lacklustre response at a UK Dealer when I asked for one, like I was asking for a miracle. I can't seem to find an easy place in the US who will post at...

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    I'm 71, with 56 years of solid motorbike racing, riding, and touring. My wife also loves the rear on the Spyder. I injured a leg, so just made a decision, sold my KTM1290 SA-S, and bought a brand new 2024 Spyder RT. I'm now three weeks into ownership, have covered 550 miles of UK **** roads, and...

    DID Make My Mind up! - Big D's Mighty Red Baron has Arrived!

    Hi, I got it sorted. I paired the Sena as a second mobile phone, and it all works now, I've just got to sort the seat and I'll see if it's a keeper, as I'm just not feeling the love yet. I'm in the stage of "Feck me what have I done?" LOL

    Need more Rider room - can I modify the pillion seat on RT, 2024?

    Hi, I wasn't aware that I could adjust the floorboards. They're 24" long and seem fine, although as a motorcyclist I would prefer the option of a handlebar brake lever. I am aware I can buy one, but I'm waiting to see if I start to feel the love on the Spyder. Not feeling the 24 mpg so far, but...

    DID Make My Mind up! - Big D's Mighty Red Baron has Arrived!

    OK, so as you may have seen on here, I took lots of advice and stuff and ordered myself a 2024 Spyder RTL. It was delivered yesterday, and the weather was nice here in the UK - 80°F in your language. On that point, I can't find any way of making the TEMP read in Celcius. I shaped the speedo to...

    Hi. Yes, when we come to USA we have many, many, similar but not the same things - that's good, it makes it fun. We could have a full day just comparing the words we speak differently in what has been called the 'Queens English'. LOL

    Hi, if you look at youtube@flapjackandbeans - my youtube channel, you will see it's a great dish - warm flapjacks very slightly; then put HOT BAKED BEANS on top! Sometimes I even have a fried egg and a strip of bacon too! Lovely... Give it a go.
