• 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.

    Looking for Saddlebag mounts to fit 2008 Spyder RS Please! Saddlebags too

    I looked at Twisted Throttle and 2nd-gear (the latter an online supplier of all things Givi in Canada). The PLX770 side case racks are no longer available.

    BEEN DOWN FOR A FEW WEEKS.

    I had one that turned to septicemia. I darn near croaked. They need watching like a hawk. My urologist gives me a new prescription for Levaquin when I see him every 6 months. Tells me to start taking it at the very first sign. Glad you are on the mend or have mended .

    Anyone Ever Consider a Scooter?

    I've had both the Burgman 650 Exec and the Burgman 400. Then had a Silverwing 600. I found the Burgman 650 Exec (ABS and electric windshield to be very powerful and comfortable). A true long distance tourer. Was heavy though. My favorite of the 3 by far was the Burgman 400. I loved that...

    Suggestions for WY/MT/Idaho good to ride region?

    If you do the Beartooth, you have to do the Chief Joseph Hwy as well. You will not regret it. For us it is a day trip out of Cody when we are in that area.

Ate in Houston's for the 3 nights. They catered to my gluten free needs & very reasonable prices. It was our last visit to the...

    Just Pre-Ordered My Ryker!

    I went to my dealer yesterday to look at a Ryker. Silly me, I didn't phone ahead. They won't have one for customers to look at until end of Nov & this is in the province in which they are made. Wanted to look at an absolutely bare bones 600 twin. This model is $11,300CAD here + 15% tax. The bare...

    Stick to your guns. You have my deepest sympathy and great respect. I dread this happening either to me or my wife of 53 years. We have also discussed our options and are very clear on them.

    Brake failure so thinking of these brakes

    You own the darn spyder, if you don't want to pay what it costs to get it fixed then sell it & use your R1. You've been told how to get it fixed properly by an expert. Either do it or quit whining.

    2008 GS SE5 issues

    The rear brake squealed a lot on the older models. Mine still does even with the newer pads that were supposed to correct it. Putting antisqueal stuff on the back of the pads did not help. I live with it as it goes away after maybe a few yards after using the brakes.
