• 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.

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    #22 - The Longest Ride (Part 3c) Once in the bathroom, we were both relieved to see that no harm had been done. To be sure, those tiny little spyders were a startling annoyance. The sheer numbers were impressive. But once removed, the drama was over, with no lasting effects. We discussed...

    3 wheeler crash on the Dragon - was it a Spyder?

    And though I hate to admit it... That probably includes myself!

    3 wheeler crash on the Dragon - was it a Spyder?

    I have found that people tend to be a more accurate judge of other's skill level than they are of their own.

    I need to find an alternative to the dealership for routine maintenance

    I'd say it depends on what was entailed in fixing the reverse problem.

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    #21 - The Longest Ride (Part 3b) (Sorry about that… I started typing above and had to go suddenly. Here is the rest of Part 3) It was a still, quiet, hot & muggy west Tennessee summer evening. Lamont was sitting bolt upright on the park bench just flailing himself all over (mostly his head and...

    Spyder vs Gold Wing Reverse Trike - anyone have experience?

    You're exactly right! It's the entire package together that makes up the experience, which you don't really know all the details about. until you're in pretty deep. Dealer quality has a lot to do with it. I agree with the 'Put up with' factor you mention. I don't think there is a machine made...

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    #20 - The Longest Ride (Part 3a) I raised up on my bike which was pointed towards the park bench about 10 yards away. All the commotion was coming from Lamont!!! And it was getting worse! (To Be Continued…)

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    #19 - The Longest Ride (Part 2) It was hot! I don’t remember how hot, just that it was hotter than the previous day’s ride and that was hot as well. We hit I-40 and headed out. Probably one of the longest stretches of straight, boring roadway in the country. Somewhat different from the previous...

    Spyder vs Gold Wing Reverse Trike - anyone have experience?

    Frankly, I don't think so. They were going to be quite expensive and the demand for them just wasn't there. I think Honda would have lost money on them and they saw the handwriting on the wall. The Honda reverse trike conversions have some great and obvious advantages. But it's still a...

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    I can assure you that yours is not the only update 'Fail'. I am hoping for the best, but I have to say I am skeptical that a shaft replacement will improve things. I am happy that BRP is going the distance with assistance in the matter. And with the rest of our Spyderlovers community, appreciate...

    There really are no alternatives to the Can Am reverse trikes

    This may be Google's AI speculation, but I still don't see it. Getting burned on a conventional trike design has no correlation to the Spyder's reverse trike format. If there is a clause in some kind of agreement, surely it would not include any and all 3 wheel configurations. But even if it...

    Anyone going back and forth from their Spyder to a motorcycle?

    One reason I put a hand brake on my Spyder, so I didn't lose the hand brake reflex when riding 2 wheels. Comes in very handy on the Spyder.

    There really are no alternatives to the Can Am reverse trikes

    Honda's issues were with their conventional platform off road machines. Apples and oranges. There is nothing preventing Honda from entering the market beyond potential market share and cost analysis. One of the things that lent to the demise of these machines was the fact that parents were...

    Spyderlovers is the best forum I've ever seen!

    I have to agree. And it's not just because I'm here or it's Lamont's site. Spyderlovers is genuinely a great place to be. There were some bumps back in the day when moderators endeavored to uphold Lamont's standards. Talk of 'Free Speech' infringement, etc. But if the moderators had not held...

    Does it matter which way an Asymmetrical tire is installed on the rear of a Spyder?

    Only directional tires matter on the rear of a Spyder, and those tires will have a nice arrow indicating direction. The thing about asymmetrical tires is that they are sometimes designed to mount in an inside/outside configuration. The outside having different tread compound and tread pattern...

    Anyone going back and forth from their Spyder to a motorcycle?

    Easily done. Your muscle memory kicks in and I don't know that it is a problem for anyone.

    There really are no alternatives to the Can Am reverse trikes

    I think you may have swerved into the underlying answer. If making a reverse trike were easy, everyone would be doing it. No one is fencing off the genre. So why haven't others jumped into this pool? And why is it that those who have, have failed? I think we need to give BRP some credit here...

    Newbie asking for feedback and advice - Any thoughts or advice regarding buying a 2011 RT-S? What are the most popular tires for it?

    Anything can be troublesome. People have problems with brand new machines. Though rare, if it happens to you it's not rare. If the Spyder you're considering has been reliable for the previous owner, it will likely be reliable for you. No matter which way you go, there are few guarantees in...

    Newbie asking for feedback and advice - Any thoughts or advice regarding buying a 2011 RT-S? What are the most popular tires for it?

    We have not had any significant difficulty getting parts. If you take care of it, you won't need much in the way of parts to begin with. There are some modifications on the 2008-2012 units (and later V-Twins) that are easily and cheaply done to increase longevity and reliablity. If you have some...
