• 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.

    Dates for heart of WA ride

    ride organization I am new to the Spyder thing and not sure how formal an event folks are looking for, but we live in Leavenworth and would be willing to, at a minimum, take a group ride from here this summer. I have organized a few multi-day bike rides over the years and would be glad to...

    Thinking Spyder this Spring

    dealers I bought mine from I90 in Issaquah, they had good pricing on a new 2012 RT-S with a 4 yr warranty. I think there is now a dealer in Moses Lake you might want to check out

    tried a Slingshot

    Drove a Slingshot today at Owens in Yakima, WA.. very nice folks and they had a couple of the higher end ones in stock and ready to sell. I have watched videos and seen pictures but was still shocked by the width and overall size. Seating position was comfortable, very carlike. Engine pulled...

    First Ever Spyder Ride

    998 I have had several bikes with the 998 rotax in them, an Aprilia Futura, and 2 KTMs. In my opinion it is one of the best motorcycles engines made. It is reliable, lots of torque and plenty of high end punch. I bought a 2012 RT because it has the Rotax 998 twin. The 1330 may also turn...

    feedback on previous new rider suggestions

    Finally got some dry roads with temps above freezing to try out the new 2012 RT-S that got delivered to me in late November. Forum feedback from my previous post looking for suggestions on how to best transition from 2 to 3 wheels helped a lot in enjoying my first ride today. I put about 30...

    adapting to the Spyder and initial setup

    road hazards That's something new to think about! Years ago I had a collision with my K75 BMW with a 40 pound creature at about 70 mph. With a combination of luck and experience I was fine, the bike suffered minor damage. I think with three wheels and a more stable platform wildlife...

    adapting to the Spyder and initial setup

    thanks Thanks for all the ideas and comments....and the moral support. I am sure it will help in the transition. A few years ago when tearing down a downhill run on a mountain bike I was having a hard time keeping up with my son (who I taught to ride mountain bikes and dirtbikes). Every time...

    adapting to the Spyder and initial setup

    I just bought a new 2012 RT-S, without riding it first as it had not been PDI'd yet and there was snow on the ground. My only previous experience on a Spyder was brief, a quick ride demo ride when they first came out. That initial ride was unpleasant and at the time I thought I would never get...

    will someone put up some positive stories about the spyder

    positive posts I just bought a new leftover '12 RT-S and although I haven't got any miles to speak of on it yet I did do quite a bit of looking at reviews, comments, and complaints about the vehicle. I did see negative comments, but also a lot of positive ones, especially about the '12 RTs...
