• 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.

    Y'all Aren't Helping Me At All!!

    I have a Harley and an F3. When I want to cruise, and be mellow, and slalom some twistiness, I take the Harley. I do love my Harley. When I feel mischievous and want to turn and burn... well, that is F3 territory. A friend of mine with a GSXR 750 once asked me to stop hitting it so fast when...

    ruined my tank

    If it only screwed up the clear coat, you can get it fixed for a lot cheaper. It is messed up the paint it will be more painful. Best of luck.

    Newbie TOTALLY confused!

    The front (facing you as you sit on the bike) of the paddle has a + on it, The back has a -. If you are in first, and stopped, and you tap the paddle towards you with your index finger the trans will drop to neutral. You can also do the same while in higher gears to downshift to get more power...

    Spyder value depreciation

    I got my 2010 RSS in Jan 2011. I put about 32,000 miles on it. I traded it in end of April this year and the dealer gave me a little over $1,000 more then the payoff cost. In essence he took $1,000 off the MSRP for my F3-S with the trade in value. (full disclosure, I had about $1,000 worth of...

    Just things that I have observed or have happened to me (remember I am a newbie)

    You can tell them that Kevlar is what bullet proof vests and modern military helmets are made of. I have several pairs of black Bilt Kevlar cargo pants and I will never ride without them. I got them at http://www.cyclegear.com/ and they will ship to Mexico. I did take the CE armor out of the...

    IS THE F3 LESS VISIBLE IN TRAFFIC?

    All Spyders turn heads unless the cager is not paying attention. If that is the case, it makes little difference if I am riding my Spyder, my Sportster, or behind the wheel of my SUV. (Mitsubishi Endeavor... a very big steel box that has the headlights on all the time) If they are looking at...

    for you people with facebook, here is the unveil of the 16 f3

    The new 1660CC Rota..... never mind I was dreaming. Looks all cosmetic. I think they got more than one idea from the people here. A $7 dollar can of plastidip will make the aux light covers look a lot like that.

    Stolen Spyders ?

    A man can pick up and move an 80cc scooter by himself. For most motorcycle thefts, it all about weight and opportunity. Unless you leave the key in it. The lightest street legal bikes are some dual sports, like the Yamaha XT225 at 238 pounds dry. A Ninja 250 is around 300 pounds or so (if...

    Gap Insurance?

    http://www.rider.com/ You get full NADA value for your machine minus the $500 deductible. They only insure motorcycles. Cages need not apply. They also offer farkle and gear coverage. I just looked and they can issue insurance in VA. ( I live in PA and they are based out of NJ. I was not sure...

    Stolen Spyders ?

    I have stayed at some shady motels in my travels with the Spyder but I never had a problem. I always parked it under a light that I can see from my room. The thing is, If someone really wants to steal it, they will find a way. That is what insurance is for. You can't start it without the key in...

    Going road warrior

    Every cop I have ever talked to (I know quite a few) said pretty much the same thing. They don't know what is legal or not on a Spyder so they won't bother pulling one over unless it breaks a traffic law or has an expired registration. This applies to South Eastern PA only of course. Your...

    My F3 accused of being a slingshot

    I came here expecting something entirely different.

    Been doing it wrong all this tyme

    I can guess: Did not read the operators guide. (except to set the clock and see the oil change intervals) Does not read saftey card. Did not test himself on the guide because he didn't read it and it's on the bench in the garage anyway. Did not train in a controled low risk area. Does not...

    Can Am plaque on the F3

    I am having a friend make a vinyl decal of the Imperial Cog from Star Wars. I am going to stick it right over top of the BRP one. I already have one on my car but it needs to be smaller to fit the BRP medalion. About 70mm diameter should do the trick.

    Review of F3 in today's Wall Street Journal by Dan Neil

    You didn't miss anything Mike. Same old, same old: "It's different!" (I don't like different and here is why). "It's safer!" (I don't like safer and here is why). "It's better!" (I don't like anything better then what I am used to and here is why). Every article I have read says the same...

    Review of F3 in today's Wall Street Journal by Dan Neil

    That is not entirely true. Adults are very poor judges of what is cool. On the other hand, any 8 -12 year old that I ride by will stop and point and tell their friends or parents to look. (If they see my Harley coming, the older ones ignore it and the younger ones just cover their ears) Last...
