• 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.

    Did I read that right? 120 MPH, not KPH?

    Need new front tires on 2010 RT - any recommendations?

    There's another thread going on about trying to find the right size tires in a 14" wheel size. I did post in that one that a quick Google search turned up a bunch of tires in 165/65-14.

    How easy it is to go for a road slide.

    I agree, the biker could possibly have avoided the incident if he had been paying strict attention and riding defensively. Seeing a car pull out of a side street is a signal to watch that car for a few minutes just to see what he's going to do next, he could plan on switching lanes and turning...

    How easy it is to go for a road slide.

    I'm certainly glad it was simply a misunderstanding. I was pretty stunned that it was thought I was flaming someone. I'll have to admit I had to reread my post to see what I had done, and was still confused. One of the issues with forums, and social media in general is the possibility of...

    How easy it is to go for a road slide.

    Wow, you've totally confused me. I was unaware I was flaming anyone. I commented on the stupidity of posting a video that showed a person doing something stupid. The website is obviously not a news site, and I'm pretty sure the police releasing someone's video without their permission may not be...

    How easy it is to go for a road slide.

    Why in heaven's name would you post something that shows you as a total butt head, on social media? I guess a few minutes of fame is worth any price.

    Does the Ryker Rally need a better sway bar?

    Thanks much for the illustration, that is much different from the Spyder.

    Does the Ryker Rally need a better sway bar?

    Ah, the Ryker anti-sway bar is much different from the Spyder's. Good to know. By "three piece", are you referring to the links that attach to the end of the anti-sway bar? The Ryker OEM bar is one piece with the links permanently attached to the anti-sway bar?

    Does the Ryker Rally need a better sway bar?

    While I do agree that the BajaRon anti-sway bar works wonders. I do have to disagree with your comment about installing it. It has to be installed just like an OEM anti-sway bar, i.e. as a one piece bar. The Spyder has to be raised about 2 feet off the ground to do the anti-sway bar change. The...

    Where is the VIN on the frame? Can Am Spyder ST Limited 2013

    Yep, I just checked Peggy's 2013 STS-SM5 and it's really easy to spot. The frame piece is flat and you can't miss it.

    2011 RS Se5 Front tires

    A quick Google search shows Vredestein makes that size in the Q-5 which is a very popular selection by Spyder riders. Also found Bridgestone, Federal, and Dunlop offerings in that size. Tire Rack offers the Vredestein.

    How easy it is to go for a road slide.

    I don't know about cut and dried, that Spyder was moving a lot faster than any other traffic. May have been moving too quickly to react to the turn signals and car moving over. Of course that's assuming there were turn signals, and he was overtaking on the right. And it's a given that the...

    Does the Ryker Rally need a better sway bar?

    Peggy has a 2013 STS-SM5, not a Ryker, and they may be worlds apart, but the cornering at any, and I mean any, speed is noticeably improved with the BajaRon swaybar installed. I put the links on too, as part of the package. It was a worthy addition to Peggy's Spyder. I can't say how much it...

    Very true, so one learns to mitigate the risk to an acceptable level. That includes honing one's skills, not riding on substandard equipment, i.e. bad tires, among other things.

    Does the Ryker Rally need a better sway bar?

    "If it were me, I would purchase the CanAm upgraded sway bar and purchase the Baja Ron links." Just curious about your reasoning.

    Wingding, Lamonster, Arkansas Pigtail... ride suggestions?!

    Be advised that some counties down there are dry, so you may not be able to have beer with your BBQ. BBQ without some dark ale is just not the same. Good, but not great.

    Ryker pricing in the middle of winter

    I hate those add-on fees. I want the bottom dollar price, not the bottom dollar price plus fees. To me those are part and parcel of doing business. It's like Best Buy charging you to unbox the tv, and charging you to ring up the sale. Paying for the privilege of paying for a product. Such a deal.

    Warranty question

    Generally speaking, extended warranties are a revenue generator for the dealerships, of any kind.
