• 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.

    SENA help ?

    I am assuming you had the SMH10 prior to getting the S20. I'd be curious to know how the S20 compares to the SMH10 and if it's worth the extra bucks....thanks Chico

    For those of you that have the new F3 and ride tandem....how is the comfort for your passenger? Seems like it would be Ok for the short haul, but not for any cross country or touring ride? Looks like this is trying to snag some 2 wheelers to the Spyder family. It's a great bike and perhaps...

    Trailer Wiring Question

    I had an issue last summer, where I borrowed a trailer that had a flat 4 pin connector. The kit I had installed for the trailer had a 4 pin square connector. I found this conversion kit .... Hopkins 47975 (4 sq) to Hopkins 48025 (4 flat). Worked fine.

    Serious Question about Summer Riding

    I have a full face helmet, where not only does the face shield lift up, but the entire chin guard lifts. So I can either raise the face shield, or with a single button I can raise the whole chin/face guard. Plus, I like the built in sun shield that I can slide down when needed. It's made by...
