• 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.

    I don't like the rain either, I won't go out for a cruise if it is raining, but if we are on a tour, we don't stop because of it. We have some great stories about some trips where we got caught in the rain. Memories........ I've been caught a few times on the Spyder, this thing gets absolutely...

    Shanwn Smoaks had a stroke.

    Same here. Consistently two great ambassadors for riders, especially riders interested in our machines.

    What's your 2022 RTL getting for gas mileage?

    Thanks for the laugh, Slice. I had to clean up a little bit of coffee on that one. Noise - this is the quietest bike I've owned, including engine noise and exhaust. Wind noise at interstate speed is probably more than my previous bikes, but managable. Fuel milage - I start thinking about filling...

    BRP response to brake light parts question on our brand new 2023's in BRP PRISON

    K80 how right you are! I was one of those waiting last year. Once I started putting on the miles, I forgot (mostly) about the runaround I got from the dealer. It helped that I found a decent dealer that made the sale, and have a decent service department. I called them about the recall, they put...

    Hit a Buck last night...

    Good to hear you made it out unscathed and with minimal damage. Though, any damage is disheartening. I've been close to deer, but the only thing I've hit on the bike is a squirrel. Hopefully the parts comein soon and you can get back on the road.

    Shanwn Smoaks had a stroke.

    I hope he recovers soon and completely. Shawn was a great influence when I was researching purchasing a Spyder, and continues to be a valued resource.

    RT 2010-2019 - When your rear aquaplanes which way does your RT Swing?

    I'm relatively new to Spyders, since May of 2022. I have been caught in the rain several times, and I have to agree with Peter. I have had slippage in both directions at speed depending on road conditions, direction of travel, etc. I have also experienced a little straight line slippage in the...

    Our Four Seasons

    Seems like we can get all four seasons in one day! I long for the days when we can ride up to sunset and not freeze!

    Trying to decide which Ryker to buy - test ride

    We tour 2+ weeks a year, so we went with the RT, but if I could have 2, a Ryker would be in the running for the 2nd. The aggressive "bare bones" look has grown on me.

    Need a Seat Cushion for my 2022 RTL - any suggestions?

    This is the way..... We mix it up each fuel stop. We alternate between a Butt Buffer, a no-name seat pad (don't even remember where I got it from), and the Spyder seat. Each fuel stop, we just rotate to the next one. For the long days pounding the interstate to get somewhere interesting, it...

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    I ride solo only when the weather is too chilly for my wife. Then she rides with me. All our bike trips are her and I. We have done several with 1, 2, or 3 other bikes. You have to make sure you are all on the same page before the trip begins, our 500 mile day to get somewhere may be torture for...

    Anyone run a Keep Out The Trash AND a decorative grill?

    I just have the decorative ones "RT" design. I have read of others zip-tying coarse screening to them when they will be encountering dirty riding (grasshopper season, etc). I know its not the experience you are looking for, but wanted to share what I have read.

    Doing my first Iron Butt tonight!

    canamjhb, i use 55 mph for my estimates, and for our riding pace, it works right on for us. When we go on our tours, planning stops is a breeze because we basically know right where we will be after so many hours on the road. Not saying I would, but I wonder if I can bump that pace for 1-up...

    Doing my first Iron Butt tonight!

    This is the stuff I was looking for. I appreciate it. We do 500+ mile days 2-up, I take ibuprofin on the regular to keep the pains at bay. I don't get much over 150 miles before I have to stop anyway, I limit the miles more than the bike does, plus a good stretch and refreshment every couple of...

    Call out Video to Can Am On Road

    Thank you for the video, interesting thoughts. I really only have a couple of comments.... Pricing, I think, is really what market will bear.... not really sure how else to put that. I wanted a Spyder, so if I wanted to ride one, I had to pay. It was my recreational vehicle, like my 2-wheeler...

    First ride of the season

    Been out for a rip once already when it was 55 or so. So good to be back on the road. Two recent days riding to work were cool, 35-ish in the morning and 45-ish on the way home. They are forecasting rain and snow for the weekend again, so back in the corner it goes for a bit......... I'm ready...

    Doing my first Iron Butt tonight!

    I'm interested in your strategy if you wouldn't mind sharing. I've done some research, but I would love to hear how you planned/executed the mileage vs. time. (Rest stops, etc.) Thanks for sharing your experience!
