• 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.

    Heated grips on 2013/2014 RS-S

    I spent time driving both my '13 RS-S and my wife's '12 RT in a 45° downpour yesterday. Not surprisingly, I too would like to know about installing heated grips on my RS-S. I'd looked into aftermarket options previously, but if I have the option for OE parts, at least in the bars, I'd gladly put...

    You can retire .....................

    I read an article a couple of years ago about the "10 Best U.S. Cities To Retire To." One of them was really unexpected, someplace I would never have thought of. I did some additional research on ******* and I have half a mind to really go there in a few years. It's an underrated gem. And NO, I...

    Who's going to Spyderfest 2014- The unofficial count

    Don't know if you're counting noses or vehicles, but you have my wife as a +1, (312 & 313 on the list) when she's not a passenger/co-rider...She and I will both be arriving on our own Spyders. May not make any difference, but figured I'd clarify.

    Laser Alignment avail at SpyderFest?

    Does anybody know if I will be able to get a laser alignment on my '13 RS-S while at SpyderFest? I am unsure of what vendor to contact.

    2014 RTS SM6

    My wife and I both have manuals. We just like the riding experience more with the feel of a "real" transmission.

    Durango Spyderfest??

    Don't bang your head...you will love the cruise. SZ-Spydie and I went about 2 years ago on NCL and it was a phenomenal way to see #49.

    Be Like A Ninja

    I get things like this all the time in e-mails or on Facebook, and normally they're hackneyed stuff not worth sharing. But I liked this more than I expected. Thought I'd pass it along. Be Like A Ninja Be silent. Only speak when it benefits others. Be meditative. Spend plenty of time in your...

    Go Pro Camera

    Cabella's has the Hero3 Black (not 3 Plus) for $329.99. Wal-Mart is supposedly going to have them on Black Friday for $299 with a $30 Wal-Mart gift card rebate. http://www.cabelas.com/product/GoPro-HERO3-Black-Edition-Cameras/1439369.uts

    50 years ago today

    As I said, I was 5 months old when Kennedy was shot. Thus, I grew up during the post-assassination adulation, when it seemed as though every other new public school was named after him, and not even the 400-year-old name of Cape Canaveral was safe from the "camelot-ization" of his memory...

    50 years ago today

    I don't really remember, but there were very few things I could have been doing: sleeping, nursing, or crying for a new diaper. I was 5 months old. My wife was 3-1/2 months old, so she was probably doing one of those same things.

    Go Pro Camera

    I use a GoPro at work for product videos (we make truck parts). GoPro is definitely the market leader, but I would not be afraid to try the new JVC Adixxion. I looked it over at REI the other day, and it's impressive. I like the fact that it's waterproof without resorting to the GoPro's clear...

    Brake squealing

    Squealing doesn't necessarily indicate there's a problem with the system. Often it's just brake dust behind the pad. SBS adhesive pad shims are my cure-all for noisy brakes. They totally solved my Suzuki's horrible brake noise, and I have a set I need to put on SZ-Spydie's RT, which squeals...

    Spyderfest 2014

    Just for comparison, the Baymont is $80/night std rate, $64 with an AARP or AAA discount.

    Spyderfest 2014

    We've reserved a room at the Baymont Inn & Suites, just north of the Glenstone Ave/James River Freeway interchange. We stayed there last year because all the places closer to the host hotel were booked, but we enjoyed it so much that we're staying there again this year by choice. Last year...

    Wakey, wakey!

    At SEMA one year, I spoke with an engineer whose company had actually tested them. He couldn't guess whether the ultrasonic whistle could actually alert deer or prevent an accident, but he could categorically say that nearly all the deer whistles he'd seen on cars were mounted so hopelessly...

    Wakey, wakey!

    Besides, even if they DID work, who says the freaked-out deer isn't going to run into the road rather than away from it?

    Wakey, wakey!

    So, yea, this got my attention. Fortunately, there were no others following her, because there were seven Spyders and a Gold Wing following me!
