• 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.

    Happy Opening Day

    I used to be a huge Expos fan going back to the inaugural season but I lost interest in baseball with the strike that killed the Expos' chances of winning the WS, I can't relate to most sports anymore with the $30M + per year salaries.

    Jeans or regular moto Trousers?

    I agree. I do wear my armored jacket and Helite vest ATT. It's just the jeans with knee pads that I may wear for short rides, specially when that is what I am already wearing.

    Electric Spyders on the way

    Don't forget they started with Ski Doo's! I'm quite sure they would like to leverage the battery technology for both vehicles. Imagine going thru the woods in winter in complete silence just like on x-country skis!

    Coming out of hibernation

    My Spyder has been in storage since November. I look at it once in a while and check the battery tender. I haven't done work on it thru the winter although I bought a set of "The Wedgie" from a member of this site. Haven't been active on this site until this week but now that I have started...

    Congrats and good luck with the surgery!

    Jeans or regular moto Trousers?

    I'm for protection unless it's a very short ride. But even if I wear regular jeans, I use armored knee pads. So it's either my full suit Aerostich, BMW moto summer pants, jeans with knee pads. I always wear a jacket with protection and last year I bought a vest that inflates on impact to...

    Towing your Spyder between two homes

    These are from a company in the Province of Quebec near Montreal. The dealer network in the rest of Canada is not great. They go for 3000$ to 4000$ CDN. 3500$ for the size I am looking at. So that must be like 20$ USD :roflblack:

    Towing your Spyder between two homes

    Yes indeed. They go for 2600$, so about 1000$ less than the other one I'm looking at. I decided against one of them for three reasons: 1. They are not aluminium and I read at least one bad story of rust. 2. They are dedicated Spyder rigs and don't offer the flexibility for carrying other...

    Towing your Spyder between two homes

    If not for insurance cost, that is what I would do, a nice little Ryker! That would be fun. Maybe so much fun that I would like to have it at both places...and need a trailer. Wouldn't that be even funnier. I am already paying 1500$ CDN for my F3L and a Ryker would add another 1000$ or so...

    Towing your Spyder between two homes

    Yes indeed, I'm thinking maybe I could get 50% back after 4-5 years as they are aluminium. I've been watching those since the Fall last year and never seen a used one for sale. So either they don't sell many or those who buy them find them very practical and keep them.

    Towing your Spyder between two homes

    I'm hoping I can go with the X500 as it is actually 61.5 inches wide. It would be tight but if it works I would prefer a narrower setup.

    Towing your Spyder between two homes

    Thanks guys for the advice. Obviously, it's unanimous. I found a folding trailer that would fit just fine, would most likely have good resale value and keep well in the meantime. Just not cheap to buy initially! https://apogeetrailers.com/ Safe riding! J

    Towing your Spyder between two homes

    Hello, I have two homes located 450 kms apart, 95% highway. I'm thinking of buying a trailer to take my Spyder back and forth. I figure it would give me more flexibility like driving at night and in bad weather. The 401 is very boring highway for riding repeatedly and I drive faster than I...

    End of an era......

    that's too bad, especially since you can ride almost 12 months a year. There's nothing like a Spyder. But of course sometimes we have to face reality. In Canada I am paying 1500$ per year for a 7-month season of riding. That would be about $1100 USD. I like the look of you RCZ. Good look...
