• 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.

    2013 Spyder CB Setup

    Apparently, the CB on the new RT does NOT work with the bluetooth dongle that BRP is selling. I assumed -- but didn't know -- that it would plug into the auxiliary plug on the dongle. Not according to BRP. Apparently, to us CB one will have to use the BRP headset unit (the plug is special) as...

    NJ,NY,PA,OH,Indiana, ST. Louis group ride to Spyderfest

    Well, you need motel rooms for one night coming and going, say $60 per night = $120. You will need 5 nights at Spyderfest at, say, $50 per night = $250. That's $370 in motels. You will have to estimate how much you eat (not sure if you are going with someone). I'd estimate $25 per day though...

    The polar bear ride is a go for the 19th

    I may not be able to go though I might ride my Silverwing out to ACCC for the meetup. I have a great reason why I can't come and I'll explain it when I see you or when you see me. kt

    NJ,NY,PA,OH,Indiana, ST. Louis group ride to Spyderfest

    It's 3 hours -- 192 miles -- so it depends on when we leave Columbus in the morning and how many gas stops we make. Champagne can give you an idea about departure times. kt

    Shipping a Spyder

    An acquaintance needs to get a Spyder from NY State to Alabama. I know this topic has been discussed before but I didn't find it in a search here. What are the companies that others have used to ship their Spyders? Thanks.... ken tompkins

    The polar bear ride is a go for the 19th

    mrmichaelg.... Most of this is withing 5 miles from where I live. I ride these roads on a regular basis when the weather is good. Indeed, you will go within a half-mile of Stockton -- the college where I teach. ken tompkins

    Another question on Garmin 660 from a tech idiot

    Garmin 660LM on the 2013 RT-S Anyone know if the non-BRP Garmin Zumo 660LM (life time maps) will fit on the new RT? It's $300 cheaper than the BRP branded one. ken tompkins

    2013 Models In

    Folks.... Atlantic City Cycle Center (ACCC) has two 2013 Spyders in. They arrived this week. I spoke with Ed today and he already has had inquiries about them. The first one assembled is an ST-S; the one still in the crate is, he believes, an RT. Thought some of you might want to go look at...

    2013 Can-Am Roadster Owner Event

    Just a bit of history and small correction: when we all ordered and, then, nine months later actually got our Spyders, someone began to talk about a gathering of Spyders in 2008. Many places were suggested; finally the decision was made to have the first one in Gatlinburg. The event was called...

    Route 66 Dream Trip

    Documentary On Rt. 66 I recently found Billy Connolly's documentary on Rt. 66. He starts -- on a trike -- in Chicago. He's hilarious and visits some places I hadn't heard of. He actually visits the "Worlds Largest Rocking Chair" (which is just down the road from Cowtown) and goes turkey hunting...
