• 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.

    Buying a new helmet - who replaces them every 5 years per manufacturers spec??

    My company manufacturers hard hats. We also have a 5 year recommendation to replace the hat. The main culprit is exposure to UV light. If your helmet sat in your basement for years, then technically you could use it much longer. But most of us really can't figure out exactly how long we...

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    I totally get it. There is a balance between safety, and convenience and fun. I ride in jeans, gloves, and a long sleeve shirt or light jacket, mainly for sun protection. I mostly wear hiking books but sometimes just sneakers. I live in TN with a helmet law but if not, I could be tempted...

    Comparison between new LS2 Advent X and 509 Delta Ignite Helmets

    I have the Avant X as well. I ordered a red and black one from Belgium to match my Spyder. Yes, vanity for sure. I do like the modular design. I found with the top of head vent open, it gets loud at highway speeds. I need to buy a Cardo unit and try it out to see if I can hear well with it.

    Are you happy with your aftermarket CAR tires?

    A few years back I proposed a front wheel drive for Spyders. Advantages of better traction, lighter, better fuel economy, and no more belt. Disadvantages, initial cost. But with the Canyon coming on, maybe one day they will.

    Why won't my Spyder trans Auto upshift?

    Good info. So to be clear, on a 2021 RTL, I should be shifting at 3500 rpm for the centrifugal clutch to fully engage?

    Are you happy with your aftermarket CAR tires?

    My "car tires" were one of the most enjoyable upgrades I did on the Spyder.

    This statement - TRUTH "The absofreakinlutely WORST day riding still beats any day at work; and generally beats just about any other day as well!" 😁

    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?

    2023 for sure. If you want Carplay, get a Carpuride. The advantage is that it is touchscreen all the time and it sits closer to you, easier to use.

    Considering a Spyder - Can I Ask You Some Questions?

    Since no one really ever "drops" a Spyder, miles on the odometer is really not concerning. I would try to get a 2020 or later model RTL for 2 up riding comfort. But an F3 Limited would also be good. Both are very comfortable machines and will eat up the miles on the open road. And no...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Looks good, Any concerns about someone stealing it when you stop for a bite to eat or do an overnight somewhere? I do wish the Carpuride had some sort of quick disconnnect

    Totally bonkers 'Miles to empty' on Can Am 2023 RTL - can it be fixed?

    I found that if you reset the odometer BEFORE refueling, it messing things up. Turn off the Spyder, refuel, then start up again and reset the odometer.

    I got another New Helmet!

    As a manufacturer of hard hats - this information is totally correct. Most of us will say 5 years "in use". If you rarely ride, you go longer than 5 years. UV light and drop damage are your main culprits to life span.

    Canyon Redrock Ride Review by Lamonster

    Man, your story is breaking my heart. You have positively affected so many people. I hope you know that. I just said a prayer for you. God is with you. And remember, being with HIM is even better than the open road on a Spyder.
