• 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.

    Just got the bad news about Lamonster's Dad

    Hey Lamont, I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your father. My family has unfortunately been touched by cancer several times, and I know it can be a hard road. Peace, Marc (MDR)

    How to fit a Spyder to a guy that's 6'4"?

    I'm 6'1 and love the fit of the Spyder. I put the riser on before bringing it home as I knew after a demo that I would need one. What has surprised me the most is how comfortable I am on long rides. Like others, I have lower back issues (judo injury) and I find that when I ride my Harley the...

    Thanks, Marc (MDR)-Spyder brings a smile!

    Re: Thanks, Marc (MDR)-Spyder brings a smile! That would be great. I'm in Lakewood (just north of Long Beach). Send me a pm if you want to go for a ride sometime. I still haven't run into any So. Cal riders . . .

    The Blue Ant

    Thanks for the good info, Scotty. I'm planning to hook up a zumo 550 for summer so that I can have xm and gps. I will be riding 2 up with my girlfriend, but don't plan on needing to use a cell phone (scary enough to talk on a cell phone while driving a car) or bike-to-bike. I've read mixed...

    Thanks, Marc (MDR)-Spyder brings a smile!

    Re: Thanks, Marc (MDR)-Spyder brings a smile! It was good timing to ask about Jared today, Bruce. We've had a really positive two weeks. After he finished chemo, my sister and I took him to the Springsteen show here in So. Cal to celebrate. Springsteen's security pulled us out of line and then...

    Lamonster-itis strikes again--the Mods keep coming

    I really like how the speakers look. I'm planning to get xm/gps hooked up this summer, and have been debating whether or not to go with speakers like yours or get helmet speakers. How is the sound quality--especially at higher speeds? Since I've never ridden with music before, I'd be interested...

    Got any long trips planned for the Spyder?

    This summer my girlfriend and I plan to ride up the coast from Southern California (Long Beach) to Northern California/Big Sur. This is really a dream ride along the coast, with stunning views all along the way. I think the Spyder is the ideal vehicle for this trip. Not sure of the exact miles...

    Got it! woohooooo!

    Congrats on the new ride. Your price wasn't too bad (for So. Cal) when you figure in the free helmet and jacket. Nice day here today--none of that "snow stuff" mentioned from folks in other parts of the country (sorry--couldn't resist). Have fun riding!

    Frieght and Prep in CA?

    Hey OCSURFRR, Received your pm about this issue, but couldn't respond so I'll do it here. Feel free to send another pm and include your e-mail if you have additional questions. Yes--they are screwing you. It seems like most of the dealers here in So. Cal are finding all kinds of creative ways...

    Thanks, Marc (MDR)-Spyder brings a smile!

    Re: Thanks, Marc (MDR)-Spyder brings a smile! Thanks for the support everyone. Jared has one more round of chemo, ten days of radiation, and then hopefully we will be done with cancer. This journey really makes you appreciate the little things in life. Time to go for a ride . . . Marc (MDR)

    Weather was too good to sit at home

    Just flew back from a business trip to Texas, and brought back the nasty flu/cold making its way across the U.S. Still, it was perfect riding weather in So. Cal today and I couldn't resist. Went for about a 50 mile ride south on Pacific Coast Highway, checked out the surf, walked on the pier...

    Risers for handlebars

    I'm six feet tall and my inseam is 33. I had the dealer install the riser because I don't trust myself! I really like the addition of the riser--it's a much more comfortable ride for me. It took me a day or two to dial in the perfect riding position, and now it's great.

    BRP Hand Brake?

    I would choose it as long as I could use the foot brake or the hand brake, and either one would control all three wheels. That way I could be lazy and just use the foot brake, and still stop the bike if I grabbed for the hand brake first in an emergency situation. I'm glad I'm not a...

    BRP Hand Brake?

    I'm a bit torn on this one. On one hand, I really missed the hand brake the first time I took the Spyder out and had to make an emergency stop. I reached for a hand brake that wasn't there, and was quite grateful for the anti-lock breaks. The Spyder does lull you into being pretty relaxed, and...

    dealer prep/ destination charges

    When I first took a test drive I was quoted 16,700 OTD. Luckily I wrote down the salesperson's name and the day/time I spoke with him because when I went back a month later the price had jumped to 19,500 due to "freight and handling." After two hours of heated negotiations and my promise that I...

    Finally got MINE

    Hey Black Widow and Jeb, I'm in Lakewood which is just a few miles north of Long Beach. I will definitely be riding down in Huntington/Laguna this weekend. Hopefully we can all go for a ride soon once the Spyder is broken in. See you at the beach!

    feedback needed--warranty and service question

    You guys are right about being able to purchase the warranty later--the lower price, however, is only good for 30 days according to the finance director. I guess the usual price is a couple hundred bucks more--but you know how salesman work . . . I purchased from Hahm in Anaheim, California...

    feedback needed--warranty and service question

    Thanks, guys. I picked up the Spyder this morning and they gave me 30 days to decide on the warranty. It is the BRP extended plan, and I have roadside assistance with my insurance (Foremost) so I'll be truly covered. The dealership is offering a good deal on the warranty because they are hurting...

    Finally got MINE

    Picked mine up at 10:00 a.m. today! My dealer had 8 delivered, and it was a beautiful site. Riding is a blast. Have to work tonight (hate how work interferes with fun), so I'll provide more details and a pic near the beach soon. You guys outside of So. Cal. don't even want to know how great the...
