• 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.

    F3-T Saddle Compartments not closing & locking securely - any ideas/fixes?

    I have learned with my F3L that a little help from my palm or knee to close the side compartments works quite well.

    I may have to forfeit my "motorcyclist" membership card!

    I am like many others in that there comes a time where we have to realize the fact that we are older than what our memories try to make us believe. After riding all over North America- see map, mostly on Harley bikes(7), now I still have the feeling of riding with three wheels down instead of...

    Has anyone with a '21+ Spyder got a Baja Ron anti sway bar? Worth it?

    2020RTL and now 2022F3L, stock suspension and tires. Do not feel need to spend extra money for what i think(my 2 cents) is not needed to have an enjoyable experience riding. Again, whatever floats ur boat....

    Belt cover/guard: needed or not?

    Like some above stated, rode Harleys for years and no belt problems- sure not same design set up but close enough. Rode marble/gravel roads in Yukon and Northwest Territories for hundreds of miles-no issues- not say that it can and will happen....

    What's the consensus on Kenda KR 20 rear tires? Better than stock?

    On my second Spyder and have no issues with the oem tires. Been in 29 states from Oregon to New Hampshire to Florida and Mexican border with these two bikes. All kinds of weather and road conditions. Can't say anything negative about how the bikes handled or how the tires wear. I am not big...

    Choosing between Spyder or Tri-Glide? Drawbacks for either?

    Can Am F3L. What everyone else has said. Yes, the Harley look is one thing (and sound), but for ride and comfort... Spyder.

    2018 RTL - looking for battery upgrade and replacement suggestions?

    You did not mention if the battery is the original. If so, if six years of service was given by it, I would replace with another just like it. Six years from a battery is good.

    Confessions on tour planning

    My planning consists by determining which direction i'll be heading and a list of some sites I want to see. I will meander from that based on my time/weather along the way. If I do get to see all of the spots on my list- which usually doesn't happen, so be it. There is always another trip .

    Don't Be Fooled! Looking at you DOES NOT mean they SEE you!

    At intersections, I keep an eye on the vehicle's front wheel for forward movement. Any movement, and I will be more cautious.

    Has anyone ridden a Spyder to Prudhoe Bay?

    Have you given some thoughts on a Ryker Ralley? It appears to be more for off roading. Has driveshaft, beefier, meant for riding on gravel, has skid plate, etc.

    Has anyone ridden a Spyder to Prudhoe Bay?

    I have ridden to the Arctic Circle as you have. Also, to Dawson City and to Yellowknife. Granted on a Harley and not on a Spyder. Have gone through some rough construction areas that I am convinced the Spyder low clearance would get hung up. The front fenders to tires clearances could pose...

    Automated mailed ticket.... But I wasn't there!

    I stopped at a restaurant in downtown Nashville, TN. in October on a Sunday Afternoon. It was a small place and had a gravel parking area which was full.

    48 States in 27 Days at Age 84

    Reading your descriptions of a typical riding day on the road sounds so familiar. I have been bouncing around the country for years. Basically from the Arctic Circle to Key West and from St. John's Newfoundland to Pacific Coast next to the Mexican line southwest of San Diego and everything in...
