• 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.

    "Pearl" is now in our garage!

    Ah, Arion, your avatar of the triskelion from the Isle of Man. We are F1 and MotoGP fanatics, but the IOM TT is our favorite event of the year. Jeff has two of the Arai IOM helmets (2013 and 2017) and wears them interchangeably. i think he's starting a collection. This year is going to be...

    I did it...almost

    An example of the polar opposite in relation to the OP. We started the first conversation about me getting a Spyder last Saturday over lunch. By yesterday (Wednesday), it was in our garage :yikes: The internet really allows you to get a lot of information from many sources quickly, allowing...

    It's Happened Before, First For Me

    do you think locking the compartments would prevent them from flopping open? sure it would be a pain to have to unlock them every time you use them, but depending on how the lock mechanism works, I would think that if you can turn the lock with the key, the door should properly be latched and...

    "Pearl" is now in our garage!

    wow, this thing is gynormous. I am wondering if most people are able to keep their Spyders in their garage or do they have to make some type of outdoor arrangements. We did all the measurements, so we knew what to expect, but boy when you pull it into the garage it seems to expand....I think...

    "Pearl" is now in our garage!

    Hi folks, after a more thorough test ride this afternoon, I pulled the trigger. We thought the pearl white unit the dealer had was a 2017 F3-T. Actually, it's a 2016 F3 Limited. We were thinking they had put chrome wheels and footboards on an F3-T as accessories (!)..had 3 miles on it...

    Prospective new Spyder rider-couple of questions, please?

    indeed. took another ride today, and pushed it a little bit. The system most definitely rev matches on downshifts. I tried all kinds of combinations to drop down into a lower gear at different ranges of the engine revs and the system shifted down every time with a nice blip.......

    Prospective new Spyder rider-couple of questions, please?

    thanks again folks for great responses.....regarding throttle blipping, I was referring to the rev matching anyone who rides a motorcycle has to do when downshifting from a high speed, high gear, down to a lower speed, lower gear, when entering a turn, for example, to avoid upsetting the bike...

    Prospective new Spyder rider-couple of questions, please?

    thanks for that tip! I checked them out and they have great reviews. I kind of wondered when their site stated they deliver the bike anywhere in the lower 48 for free, plus freight and set up are included?! The fact they are out of Chicago means that we could actually go there to check out...

    Prospective new Spyder rider-couple of questions, please?

    Thanks everyone for the welcome and the great information! Actually, we took off last night to test ride a white 2017 F3-T with the floorboard option and SE6. Some thoughts: *The dealer has a huge lot that loops around the building. on one side there are 3 speed bumps. We practiced dodging...

    Prospective new Spyder rider-couple of questions, please?

    Hi, I rode V-Rods for several years, but after a high-side accident, I stepped away from riding. My husband is on his Ducati Xdiavel and Softail CVO all the time, and I want to get back out there on the road. I am seriously thinking of the Spyder being my entry back into riding as it...
