• 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.

    Life's Little Pleasures...

    Being a parent is the world's toughest OJT profession. My dad, a giant of a man at 6'8", died 50 years ago when I was just getting to know him as an adult son. The accomplished Irish songwriter Phil Coulter says it all in his song, The Old Man.

    Life's Little Pleasures...

    When I was stationed in Japan's 47th prefecture, Okinawa, from 1987 to 1990 there was an unwritten but almost guaranteed rule, red light plus three, meant when a traffic light had turned red, three native drivers would automatically go through it, no ifs ands or buts about it.

    I want Spyder/Ryker/Canyon dealerships to succeed

    Eleven years and nine montths ago I experienced an almost identical situation but with a Can-Am dealership less than four miles from my home and a second one 90 miles away. Local dealership was very helpful; let me take a demo ride of more than two hours and 50 miles but would not offer one thin...

    Is there supposed to be a lift support for the drivers seat?

    You made a good decision purchasing the Show Chrome support as it has more strength than the OEM one. I bought a replacement Show Chrome one when my original would no longer hold fully up my Comfort Seat at a refueling stop

    Found a 2017 F3S - Should I get a used one? Pros & Cons??

    Recognizing you're new to the Y-ryding community and are wise enough to search for a previously owned vehicle so you don't take a big depreciation hit, Have you test ridden both an RT and an F3? I ask because in 2016 I test rode a brand new F3 at a rider demo opportunity. I very much enjoyed the...

    This was Too Close to an 'accident'!

    One week ago yesterday I was close to home on a fun 250 mile ride, in the middle lane of a three lane limited access road, maintaining safe distance behind the vehicle in front of me, and at or below the speed limit, when a cage in the right traveling at very slightly below my speed failed to...

    How noticeable is the Engine heat: F3 vs RT?

    While my 2014 Spyder is not the latest generation nor was the new F3 I test rode for 25 miles or so in 2016 but in both roadsters I've never noticed any heat problem on legs or feet. Caveat: I ride ATGATT year round. FWIW, last September I sold a Vintage 2004 Greenspeed GTO that I went to after...

    Planning on riding Southern NJ to Raleigh NC (June '26) - Any Recommendations/Suggestions Please?

    Life occasionally deals us a bite in the backside we can't get around. Part of the reason I bought my Spyder is my bride of now 62 years loves being outdoors, but her RA has so wrecked her feet she could no longer pedal our tandem bicycle as she had done for almost 25 years. I was able to get...

    3 wheeler crash on the Dragon - was it a Spyder?

    Yesterday, on the way home from a Spyder ride to Western NC to see how recovery from Hurricane Helene was progressing, a woman in some version of Toyota SUV at a T-intersection to my near right looked me square in the eye and then pulled right out in front of and toward me. We were the only two...

    Why has the Mid-West become a Spyder Rally Wasteland???

    Unless one has been involved in putting on a rally, most rider folks have little idea about just how much work goes into planning, organizing and actually conducting the event - it is one whale of a lot of work. And as with so many things in life, for so many of we Spyder owners working their...

    Can I add heated rear grips to my 2015 RT?

    The wiring to the seat is to the passenger detection switch that senses when you have a pillion aboard.

    It was time… I've Hung up my Helmet!

    Good luck Vader, my condolences on you having to hang up the helmet. Having your hips replaced you know how much better you feel. I have 20 and 18 years, respectively on my replacements with zero problems. Your Dad's only five years older than I, and I'm shooting for at least 95. We're the adult...

    stupid criminals

    Many decades ago most all Marine Corps organizations had at least one poster somewhere of John Wayne as Sergeant John M. Stryker USMC in the 1949 film Sands of Iwo Jima. The caption at the bottom of the poster said, "Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid."

    HCM filter change, now in Limp Mode with Engine & VSS Lights - anyone else? Any solutions?

    I agree with CloverHillCrawler's last recommendation about checking battery voltage. Why? FWIW, two weeks ago I replaced my second battery after 6 1/2 years. The old battery voltage was so low I had to use my jump pack to meet a scheduled ride and after the ride the old battery was so low an...

    Rear tire options - any suggestions?

    I'm on my third General Altimax, an RT-43, and will go to an RT-45 when the current one needs replacing. If I was unable to purchase an Altimax I would jump on jc's recommended Yokohama based on 11+ years viewing this forum.
