• 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.

    Took a demo ride today

    For me it's not about having the extra money, because I don't. I just don't have anyone at home to say "NO" to me about getting in more financial dept. So I have to discipline myself and say "No" I can't afford yet another new motor toy! But...But...I REALLY WANT...NO!!! :lecturef_smilie:

    After work today I went to see a friend that I grew up with that I haven't seen in some time. He owned three Spyders in the last several years and has sold his last Spyder to one of his brothers and he purchased a new Slingshot from a dealer in Wells River Vermont. We both went for a ride in...

    Winter riding RT-S

    My Spyder goes into hibernation once I see icy roads and they start to salt brine the roads. But that's fine with me! That's usually about the time that the snow toys come out for me to enjoy.

    What do you wear on your Spyder? In HOT weather?

    New mesh jacket and cooling vest I just purchased this mesh jacket from Leatherup motorcycle gear, and it is a real nice jacket for the price. I don't take the heat well, so for me a mesh jacket with the liner removed is more comfortable on those hot days...

    Vented windshield

    I have the BRP 23 inch vented windshield on my 2013 limited and it works great for me. I tend to like more air around me, so I chose not to go with the taller 25 inch vented windshield.

    Where is THE WARM WEATHER IN Vemont??????????????????????

    Deanna, I wish I could share your enthusiasm with the HOT weather, but I really don't care for the humidity and the skin eating bugs. Mid 70's sunny and dry would me more in my comfort zone. But, I won't complain and take all the sunshine we can get. I just ordered a new airflow mesh riding...

    New freedom trailer vs 622

    I purchased a new 2013 RT622 trailer on Ebay from a dealer in Michigan. I wanted the pearl white trailer to match up with my RT LTD. I purchased it for $3200. So far I have no regrets buying this trailer. It's a well made trailer and it does what it's supposed to do. I've had it packed full with...

    2013 Owners Recall Poll and Comments

    Actually, I removed the adjustable air deflectors and kept them and reinstalled the clear non adjustable one's that I had kept in the garage. Should I ever decide to sell or trade for a new RT, I will still have the adjustable set to use. I could sell them, but I want to wait and see what the...

    2013 Owners Recall Poll and Comments

    I think the air scoops actually give the RT a more filled in look underneath the mirrors. The only con I have is, I will miss the adjustable chrome air deflectors that I had.

    What do you wear on your Spyder? In HOT weather?

    I live in the Northeast, and I know it doesn't get as hot around here like in the southern states, but I try to wear all the protective gear most of the time. I wear a full face modular helmet, textile jacket and riding pants along with riding boots and gloves. In the hotter spring and summer...

    2013 Can-Am Spyder RT Safety Recall - Elevated Temperature in Engine Compartment

    I agree and feel the same way. I, for one, haven't had all the heat related issues with my 2013 RT LTD like some have had. I also have too much invested in the RT to just let it go just for the sake of getting another RT with a 1330 engine. I test drove a 1330 RT and liked it, but not enough to...
