• 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.

    Blizzard here in NW Iowa. Law enforcement is saying do not travel. Tow trucks will not go out, it's too dangerous, so if you go out and get stuck, it is very unlikely that you will get help until the wind dies down and the plows go back out. Drivers are reporting they cannot see 5 feet in...

    Can-Am dealers not hungry?

    There are still small family run dealerships around. I purchased my F3 Limited from one. They have experienced mechanics and are a servicing dealer. They do work on older bikes and Spyders and usually have 1 or 2 vintage bikes in the showroom that they are working on restoring for a...

    Does anyone leave the parking brake off during winter storage? And some rodent protection discussion...

    I have always left it off, since I remove the battery from the bike to keep it on a tender. I keep my Spyder in a storage unit. I put some small chocks by the wheels to make sure it does not roll. Floor is nice and level, so that is probably not necessary.
