• 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.

    2023 PA Tour

    Copper - it would have been neat to see you. 30 is an awesome road, we enjoyed it.

    2021 RTL handle bar position and riding posture...need a fix?

    There is a little bit of adjustment to tilt the handlebars. The retaining pin on the riser sits in a slot in the bars. Carefully loosen the 4 bolts (there is some kind of super Loc-Tite thread locker on those bolts!) and try different positions. I tilted mine a little forward after installing...

    I think that is most of the pics with the bike in them, took about 10,000 more of us doing stuff. I'll post more if I get a chance. We are recovering from this trip, and getting ready for Deadwood in a coupleof weeks! Blessed with 2 bike trips this year.

    Front storage USB port not charging quickly enough - any ideas?

    Good comments from Flamewinger, try those suggestions, but - also, here is what I have tried with success in the past - I use my iPhone for directions and music, so it is always using battery. (I have it plugged into the glove box USB with a data blocker in-line), if I am at a place in my ride...

    Dragon or Rattler?

    Just the opposite for us, we have ridden the Dragon, but will be out to ride the IMR during the 3 Wheeler Rally in Deadwood. I am one that rode the Dragon to say I did it, it was a few years ago, and the traffic wasn't horrible. The Cherahola Skyway was better for me as the driver - less...

    Gas Gauge showing Full when tank is not - Why?

    Two things.... Idaho, I hope you don't mind, but I laughed really hard at your post. The invisible bars on the guage. Gold. Thank you. Makes me glad I stopped in to read this one, I figured there would be a bunch of (good) info about using the trip meter and filling the tank full up each time...

    Spyder enjoyment vs. experience of ownership

    A few thoughts, probably no help, but here goes. I have owned bikes all my life, but never a HD, so my experience with dealers and service is somewhat like yours. For the last 15 years or so (riding Kawi's and 8 years on Victorys) service and dealers were always at least an hour away. So very...

    Memorial Day Weekend Ride

    Well, two things. Weather was perfect, and I really sucked it up taking pictures this go-'round. By the time early Sat morning rolled around, we were down to 2 HD's, the HD trike, and our Spyder. We left at 0800-ish and took off on two-lanes for about 150 miles to the Nation Motorcycle Museum...

    First road trip coming up - any last minute Words of Wisdom?

    This is it exactly, except we don't do laundry on the road. (we pull a cargo trailer that holds a suitcase - plenty of room) Twice the cash for sure, and take pictures of everything!

    New Can-Am Spyder F3 Limited Owner/Rider, Just Saying Hi.

    Welcome! I love that color. Enjoy your rides, I know we do! I don't think I ever visited a different Spyder forum, and after nosing around here for a couple years, I don't think I need to - these folks do know how to make you feel welcome. I appreciate that.

    RT seems better suited for seniors

    Careful who you are calling a senior!! Just kidding, I have received my AARP invitation, but I'm not close to that yet. We chose the RT for it's touring capabilities that suit our style of trips. The F3 didn't fit what we wanted out of the ergonomics. I sat on a Ryker while my RT was getting...

    Memorial Day Weekend Ride

    Leaving Saturday early morning to ride over to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa Iowa. There are 5 HD's, one HD Trike, and our Spyder taking two lanes from north-central IL over. The plan is to spend some time at the museum (which is closing in September - go see it if you can!), spend...

    Poor gas tank design

    I thought my Victory tank was hard to get full, but the Spyder wins out on this topic - hands down. There are a few stations locally that will fill slow enough to top the tank off. I go there when local. On the road, if it is a pump that won't allow slow fill, I try to at least get enough in to...

    All you Dragon Riders watch out for this stuff

    We rode it once on our Victory to say we did it - and I put a patch on my vest, my version of the merit badge I guess. Cherahola was a much better ride, the driver can enjoy some of the scenery. Blue Ridge is on our list of must do's, hopefully in the next few years. LOL - there were more than...
