• 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.

    Dead on the Interstate.. - latest update

    You indicated this happened near Ames, Iowa. As far as I know there is a dealer in Ames, who also has a location in Grimes. Hicklin Powersports. We have stopped in the Grimes store to look a couple times, when we were in Des Moines to visit our son. No experience with them though.

    Need advice - is it worth going to 2 wheels first, or is 3 OK?

    I ride a Spyder and also have a 2 wheel motorcycle. Have been riding on 2 since the 1960’s. What type of riding are you thinking you would want to do on the 2 wheel cycle?

    Looking for a GO PRO camera to recommend for my 2011 RT

    I use the suction cup mount on the windscreen. I use the Smart Remote mounted on the handlebars. Just make sure connection is set up before riding. Phone could also be used to control the camera, as long as you can operate the touchpad while riding.

    How many Spyders do you see in a typical work week (excluding weekends) ??

    I see Spyders almost every week, during the summer. One of my friends has one, and there are a couple more in my neighborhood. During the summer there are quite a few that come here on vacation.
