• 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.

    Anyone using Tire Beads? How much?

    I know this is an old thread, but here is a recent youtube video explaining and showing why tire beads work.

    Any feedback or Comments on the complexity of the RTL?

    I purchased a 2023 RTL in August of 2023, and now with 26k miles on it, I have had zero problems electrically. Prior to the RT, I had a 2020 F3L with around 40k miles on that, with no electrical gremlins either. No complaints other than the sorry battery it came with, but that was changed to a...

    Did something change? Now need a magnifying glass to read this Font size, even on extra large font - what am I missing?

    If I am on a website that has small print, I will often hold the Control key and the + key simultaniously to increase the font size. Each time one hits the + sign the font increases one size. The same works in reverse if the - sign is used, fonts get smaller. This is most often for websites I...

    About to pull the trigger on a 2023 or 2025 Spyder RT Dark - what am I really paying for? Any other major considerations on differences?

    I have owned two Spyders, a 2020 F3L, and currently a 2023 RTL. You will be plenty pleased with the 2023 RT and probably with zero regrets. For me, I am not a fan of extra electronics, so any added on my vehicles is of no value, but that's me. The Engine is the same and suspension should be...

    Anyone experienced difficulties with the Gas filler cover on an Ultimate Seat for 2021 RT?

    I picked up an Ultimate in March of this year. No problems with the gas cover. They were good folks to deal with also.

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    I will often think about getting another two wheeler, but I just have too much fun on the Spyder. For me, it would take me more than just a few miles to acclimate between the two bikes.

    My Back between the shoulders hurts after 6 hours of riding - anyone else? Would handlebar risers help? Is this normal?

    Don't let the name "short reach bars" fool you. Being vertically challenged, I was fortunate that my first Spyder F3L had short reach bars on them which the prior owner had installed. Short reach bars extend the grips further back toward the rider than the standard bars. This lets your posture...

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    Coach Bob 3 gives some pointers on steering a Spyder. His videos helped me when I started riding 4 years ago. Here is one of his videos on steering: I had about 5 years on 2 wheels, then 35 years off two wheels before getting on a Spyder. It took me some time to get the good feel of riding a...

    Random thought for the day

    . Back in the late 1980's my sister and husband took me to a Gallagher stand up show with his famous Sledge-O-Matic watermelon opener. Well we were in the front row and when Gallagher swung his sledge hammer at that watermelon I ducked. The broken watermelon missed us but covered the table...
