• 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.

    F3-T Questions

    Thank you for "man thing". I am trying to play it cool, but I am so excited he is showing actual interest!:shocked: You are right he knows how much I love mine and often tells people that. I just worry (it's a wife thing);) Thank you for your logic and kind words! Lori

    Potential southern MN Newbie

    Congrats on your new ride. The information on this forum has been very helpful for me. I purchased my 2012 SE5-RT from Caswells new. I couldn't have been more happy working with Jamie and Les. Mpls Motorsports wasn't around then, but I have had service there and Jeff is wonderful! They are...

    F3-T Questions

    I ride a 2012 SE5-RT, hubby rides a 2012 Dyna Wide Glide. I love my Spyder, but hubby hates it. Now, that being said, yesterday we stopped at local dealership so I could pick up some cleaning supplies. As we walked in we saw a '16 F3-T in red sitting out side. Hubby actually stopped and...

    Are floorboards worth the extra $$?

    I notice you put the "pups" on your 2011. Is there a reason? These are the ones I am looking at. I have short legs, but, now my knees are starting to bother me a bit. Lori

    Twin Cities Spyder Riders

    Minneapolis here. It would be nice to ride with a group down on this end of the state. Mora is too far since they start so early in the AM. We are retired, so any time is good for us. Can hubby ride along even though he rides a Harley?;) Lori

    Patriot Ride

    Excellent! Hope to see you there. I am not big on group rides, but this one looked so organized. Police escorts and there were several groups. Not all rode at the same time. Also, you don't have to do the ride. We registered, but chose not to ride. I want to test ride the F3, but I am...

    Patriot Ride

    LOL, I totally understand. We did not do the actual ride. We registered for it because the funds go to a good source. We just watched. The riders were sent out in several groups so they are not all bunched up. Police escorts were also involved. Go next year and be with your buds. If you get...

    I really want to like this bike...

    I am sorry to hear you are struggling. I on the other hand cannot ride 2 wheels to save my soul. That being said, when I bought mine new in 2012 I rode her home 90 miles with absolute confidence and comfort. I learned within a few miles not to man handle it. I ran between 60 and 70 mph all...

    Patriot Ride

    Did any of you attend the Patriot Ride on the 9th? Hubby and I did. I only counted 6 Spyder riders not including me. The ride was very well organized and went smoothly. Next year we are going earlier so we don't miss the morning events. Sure would be nice to see a larger group of Spyder...

    I'm a new Spyder Owner...wooo...hoo

    Congratulations! When I bought my SE5 RT in 2012, all the information on this forum helped me immensely. I rode mine home 90 miles the first day. The Do's and Don'ts have a ton of helpful information. I had a Yamaha 250 and struggled. I had difficulty with shifting. Brain just couldn't...

    Update on Laser Alignment

    I sure will! After 4 years, I decided to order the BajaRon Anti Sway bar. I told Ron about how the Spyder seemed to handle harder in the curves and Ron strongly suggested getting the alignment done (after asking the usual questions about tire pressure etc...) I always check tire pressure and...

    Update on Laser Alignment

    I have found a closer dealer to do my Laser Alignment. I have had work done here previously and they were fabulous. Minneapolis Motor Sports in Golden Valley. They also have the BUDS system reset. Just a FYI. Lori

    Heated Clothing

    I just checked out First Gear clothing. Though they do go to 3x, I looked at their size chart. There version of a 3x wouldn't fit my bust line much less my hips. Not all sizing is the same unfortunately. My Ice Striker ice fishing gear is a size 18 and is actually big on me. Go figure. If...

    Bought new F3. Dealer discouraged getting the Best extended warranty

    I have a 2012 SE5 RT. I just used the Best warranty last weekend for a starter switch. No quibble what so ever

    New member intro

    Welcome! I am in my 60's and I love my Spyder. Got mine in 2012. First thing I did was buy an Ultimate seat.(the one on the 2012 was gawd awful). Make sure your shocks are set right for 2 up riding. Ultimate Seats were wonderful to deal with. We spoke over the phone and they asked me...

    Heated Clothing

    Not a big fan of heated gear myself. LOL Gives me the heebie jeebies. That being said, I live in Minnesota and we ice fish. Being "roundish" too but 5'4, I wear my ice fishing gear. Pink and gray. Absolutely love it. This past Friday I had to pick up my Spyder at a shop and it was 40...

    Future new Spyder RT owner, need dealer advice

    Hi Mark: I don't think my original post posted. I purchased my 2012 SE5 RT new from Caswell's in Mora. WONDERFUL people. That being said, I live in Minneapolis and Mora is a 90 mile drive for my yearly service. This is something I do just because. I am anal that way, what can I say. I...
