• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I spent my last year and a half in the USCG at the Loran Station at Point Arena (1967-68), so I was up down the coast a lot. May 2024 I did Highway 1 North of San Francisco to 101 and on up through Oregon on 101 on the bucket list repositioning ride on the Hooker from AZ to WA. Aways wondered...

    What price should I be asking for a 2014 RT Limited Seat & Backrest?

    Which drivers backrest is it? OEM or aftermarket? Picture of the back rest? For what it is worth, I damage my OEM seat and found one 350 miles away. Had the seller remove the seat from the pan and just send me the cover. I have a air staple gun with SS staples, so I just installed the new to me...

    Baldwin Ironworks cat delete install issue - having a hard time getting a seal! Any tips/advice?

    I would take the delete pipe, muffler and clamp to an exhaust shop and if they can fix the mating of the two. And do not tell them it is a delete pipe, or they may refuse to touch it.

    Dealer near Portland, OR who will install a Vredestein on the rear?

    Here in America BRP should be reported to the feds for constraint of business or some sort of violation.

    My German Shepard hit cost $5525 to be fixed. The Champagne color upped the cost, as panels had to be painted.

    Losing a bit of faith in Can Am - enjoy the riding, but not the endless waiting while they find parts and fix all the niggling issues!

    I use CC all the time and wish it was adaptive CC like my 2021 F150,

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    When I took the trike class in Arizona in the Fall of 2020, there was a guy that had never ridden a motorcycle before. He had a really nice HD trike delivered to the site. On the final test of the decreasing radius corner, he lost control and hit the tires stacked along a concrete block wall at...
