• 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-P ( Police Bike) Top case rack

    Sounds like something I would be interested in for sure. I especially like that I wouldn't have to remove the grab bars, as I don't want to remove my saddlebags (which I think I'd have to do to remove the bars). Look forward to seeing the product!

    F3-P ( Police Bike) Top case rack

    This looks interesting! I'd also like to have a rack (rather than the passenger seat) on my F3-S.

    Kill Switch vs. Fumble-Fingered Hank

    That's what I have done several times. And, each time, the horn startles me! :opps:

    BRP Warranty Warning

    Hmm, I didn't get any warranty card in the mail at all. I bought mine at the end of July, with 5 years total warranty. Guess I'll message the dealer first, and go from there. Thanks for pointing this out!

    Roll call: Younger riders or riders with no health issues?

    Got distracted by Virginia licensing, and didn't say that I'm 62, with no health issues. I rode a Harley till I fell in love with my Spyder. I ride my F3-S by choice, not by default.

    Riding in Cool/Cold Weather

    I rode to work this week and it was about 35˚ on the way in (17 mile commute). I was fine, except for my hands. I'd like to keep riding to work, so I'm thinking about adding the heated grips. Do you riders who have them think that they were worth the money?

    Roll call: Younger riders or riders with no health issues?

    Ah, thanks for explaining. I've had my M for many years, and didn't realize that Virginia had changed the rules. For what it's worth, I agree with you— if you can ride 2, you shouldn't need anything more to ride 3.

    Roll call: Younger riders or riders with no health issues?

    I don't understand. If you have a class M license in Virginia, you are licensed for both 2 and 3 wheeled vehicles. So, if you've got a Virginia Class M, you can legally ride the Spyder without any other training or licensing. (https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/drivers/#motorcycle.asp)

    Tall boy or Blue ridge

    I have the Blue Ridge on my F3-S and it works well for me. (I'm 5'4".)

    Spyder Sightings

    That would be the right timing for a trip up the Parkway from Maggie Valley. I admit that I rode south on the Parkway yesterday, hoping I'd see some returning Maggie Valley riders. Next year, I'll know that Maggie Valley is in NC (something I didn't realize until last week!) and plan a trip to...

    Spyder Sightings

    Virginia sightings! Lots of Spyders on the road this weekend. Saturday (10/14) saw 2 riders on a matte black pulling a trailer heading east on Rt. 220 in Daleville. Today (10/15), on the Blue Ridge Parkway: MM 172: white, northbound Mabry Mill parking lot: one red, one white. Didn't get a good...

    Riding in Cool/Cold Weather

    I've ridden to work some this week. Monday, it was 41˚F when I left the house, and today it was 47˚. I'm cool after a 25 minute commute, but not uncomfortable, wearing just regular gear (but heavy gloves). The days are getting shorter, so I'm getting to see the sun rise over the mountains as I...

    who should i finance me spyder with?

    I financed about the same amount at the end of July and got 2.9%. The dealer arranged it through a local credit union.

    Advice and suggestions for curves and Twisties?

    Agreed! On my first (and only) Harley group ride, as a new Harley rider, the group leaders led us on a merry chase, exceeding the speed limits from the start. Of course I tried to keep up. They even went way beyond the 45 mph speed limit on a stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway. (Any wonder it...

    Advice and suggestions for curves and Twisties?

    I think all of us have been there. I posted something similar at about the 200 mile point. (I turned over 1,000 miles on the way to work this morning.) Somewhere around the 500-600 mile point, suddenly the curves were fun again (coming from a 2 wheeler history). Of the much excellent advice...

    Penalized !! For owning a Spyder !!

    Allstate here: House, cars, motorcycles (including Spyder), and umbrella. Spyder added 8 weeks ago at <$200/year. All very reasonable.

    Why Did You Buy A Spyder?

    I've posted this before, but after 12 years and 50K miles (mostly long road trips) on my HD, I had a fall on gravel (slow speed, my fault) and got spooked. Since we've got a 1 mile gravel driveway, I just didn't do much riding the last 2 years. I had seen Spyders on the road for years, and sort...

    Apparel

    My local dealer has no BRP gear, just lots of Joe Rocket, etc. Since I switched over from HD, pretty much all my riding gear is Harley and likely to stay that way. Good armored gear is good gear, no matter what the logo.

    Buchanan, Virginia, around 4:30 today, a yellow Spyder with 2 riders.

    Spyder Sightings

    Finally, after 5 weeks, saw some other Spyders on the Blue Ridge Parkway today in Virginia. Saw a white one with 2 riders just south of Roanoke Mountain between 3-4 PM. And right after that, there were two parked at an overlook south of Roanoke (one blue, not sure about the other).
