• 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.

    Natchez Trace Parkway

    We rode the entire Trace. It took about 3 days. There are nice historical markers along the way and the Indian mounds were interesting. There are some pretty swamp areas too. There is not a lot of variety of scenery on this ride. It was pleasant but I would not ride it again.

    Inaugural RT ride!

    Hubby and I just returned from our first long ride (5 days) since I bought the RT. I now have plenty of experience in the twisties and on the interstate and I really enjoyed the Spyder. It's not the same as the Harley I traded for it but it is equally as fun! And it is more practical, which I...

    Spyder Sightings

    Yesterday (7-19-12) I saw a white ltd. RT parked at the Appalachian farm just outside Cherokee, North Carolina. The man who had just gotten off the bike waved at me! I saw two other spyders on our 5 day ride through West Va., Va. and Tenn. The first two were near the Blue Ridge Parkway (one...

    Looking forward to my first road trip on my Spyder

    You will have a wonderful time. Your son will never forget it! I had my first Spyder ride in the rain today and it was SO much better than on my bike! I was dryer and much more stable. Just have a good rain suit and you will be fine!

    How hot is too hot for you or spydee?

    I recently rode about 2 hours in 108/109 temps. The Spyder was fine. I was not. That was too hot for me.

    Decision Dilemma

    There are no guarantees in life (just warranties)! You want the RT, buy the RT. We all risk getting a lemon with any product but we rarely do. That being said- my new RT is in the shop recovering from a poor dealer setup or a problem it was shipped with. When I pick it up in a couple of days...

    BRP Comfort Seat for RT

    I'm shopping for a new seat and wonder how this seat compares to an Ultimate Seat? I see that the Comfort Seat moves the rider back 2'' compared to 1.5 for the Ultimate Seat. That sounds good but I want a seat that feels like I'm sitting in it not on it. Does anyone have a Comfort Seat? Has...

    Ladies with long hair

    Either one or two braids works very well. I put on a bandana when I stop.

    Spyder Bucket List

    There's an amazing road closer to home. If you haven't ridden the Bear Tooth Pass/Highway on the Montana (Red Lodge) / Wyoming border, you should put it on your list. The road is incredibly beautiful and scary. It crosses the Absaroka Range and puts you very near an entrance to Yellowstone...

    ANY ADVICE RIDING HOT WEATHER FIRST TIME

    You will be riding in a gorgeous area! Watch out for wildlife. As for the heat you will be cooler in long sleeved white tees on hot days. I didn't believe it until I tried it but it really works.

    Freak Out!

    Thanks for the advice! I was aware from reading this forum that riding the brake could cause this problem and was careful to make sure I was not doing that. This was a flaw in the bike from the day I got it. It is still in the shop having the brake switch and sensor replaced. I hope I have...

    baker air wings chrome or black fittings?

    I just installed the clear Wings with black fittings on a red RT. The clear panels do match the stock deflectors. I like the black fittings as there is a lot of black on the bike. I'm sure the chrome would look nice as well.

    BRP deal until July 10th.....

    I learned this deal began on June 27, ten days after I purchased. It would have been nice if the dealership would have told me this was going to be available so soon. I would have waited.

    So the RS is a Spyder and the RT is a Roadster? Or are all models Spyders?

    Freak Out!

    I took my bike back to the dealership a couple of days ago as I had another limp mode episode. I cleared the computer and rode 400 more trouble free miles after that- so long as I nudged the brake pedal upwards after I used it. They are replacing the brake switch and sensor tomorrow. So...

    used (some of) the luggage for the first time

    So how many clothes/toiletries did the luggage you used hold? Even though you didn't use the frunk piece of luggage, how many clothes do you think it will hold? I am considering buying the piece that rolls and the saddlebag pieces.

    New Ultimate tall boy seat

    I've read that this seat will move you 2'' back. Will you also sit higher? I am strongly considering one of these seats. May I ask how tall you are? How does the gas door work?

    Travel tips for BlueRidge Parkway NC?

    This is a fantastic ride and the scenery alone will impress anyone. We ride it once a year and I never get tired of it. Plan your hotel stays as there is not always a great variety to choose from. You might make a little side trip to the Biltmore Mansion in Ashville. At the Little...
