• 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.

    Texting while riding - rant!

    I couldn't agree more. When we ride with our friends, we all know that the person in the front is in charge of the ride, but usually only 2-3 other bikes. We trust each other. I like that signature, it made me chuckle.

    Texting while riding - rant!

    We have never been comfortable in group rides. One, because we never belonged to a group or club, and so we didn't get the chance to develop with the group. This is a little different than the OP's situation, but relevant, I think. We occasionally do group charity rides (poker runs, etc), we...

    Pix of my Ryker

    Looks great! I like the aggressive looks of the Ryker. We just need more space than what it affords. Maybe, one day, there might be one in my garage next to the RT........ probably not, but fun to dream.... Nice ride! Enjoy, might see you around the roads of IL.

    Just rode my new 2022 RT home - got a lot to learn!

    Congrats! Almost 40 years on 2 wheels for me (I started REALLY young :doorag:) Good advice above, what helped me was loose grip and looking through the corners - I was good at that on 2, but it seems more critical to my style of riding on the Spyder. Make sure the tire pressures are set too...

    Radiator Grill Guards install - any easier if shark fins removed first??

    I did the Can Am Accessories grills, just because of the color availability. But I did look at the installation instructions for SpyderPops. Looks almost identical. I will say, when you go to fit the grill don't forget the Windex lube on the rubber. That makes it so much easier. That, and no...

    wish you all - safe and happy holidays and a "next year" filled with all you desire.

    Happy Holidays to you too. We are also looking forward to riding as much as possible when the winter breaks!!

    Show Chrome Trunk Rack After Thoughts.

    I put racks on my last three bikes (1 Kawi and 2 Victories). I seriously thought about putting one on the Spyder, still a little up in the air. Thank you Pjveetwin for the pic - easier to visualize how it would look. Not sure that with the bag configuration of the Spyder, along with the room...

    Mid-West bracing for a Blizzard Winter Storm - Stay Safe

    I'm surprised a little that I'm the first to post about it, but the midwest is bracing for a potential blizzard winter storm. My bike is tucked away in the (thankfully heated - never below 40 F as long as there is power) garage, so this storm is not affecting my ride time. But I hear all the way...

    Poconos Trip June 2023 - any must see and do's in the area?

    Thank you all for responding. I have a several page document with all suggestions on this thread and through those that PM'd me. I appreciate each and every one. I have the trip divided into three parts, and three "regions," which are of my own divisions, and follow no practical boundaries...

    Found a Push button garage door opener!

    Almost the same solution for me, except I added velcro, so it sticks to the lid. I pop the lid open and hit the button. I like the install of the unit though.

    Poconos Trip June 2023 - any must see and do's in the area?

    Again, thank you all for the ideas, there is still plenty of time for more suggestions. An itinerary is slowly taking shape as I get some minutes to work on it. I will say this, there is so much more to see than what I originally thought. My first thought was Gettysburg, Punxsutawney, Flight...

    Deadwood 3Wheel Rally, 2023 - Getting ready to leave!

    :yes: Just booked our room for the rally. I showed my wife the website, and she said let's go!! Only stipulation was we are trailering the Spyder out there and then ride for 5 days out there. (we have a 10 day ride planned in June to PA which will be about 1,400 miles or so - the two long trips...

    I have questions about various model configurations

    blacklightning, if I may ask, and not to hijack the post, did you make the rack yourself, or was it purchased? I had a rack that fit the hitch on my Victory, but that went with the bike. I am planning to have a friend look into making one with aluminum to keep the weight down. Just curious?

    2022 RT Ltd - which Trailer Hitch fits? OK with non-BRP trailers?

    I purchased the BRP hitch when I bought my Spyder. I had to wait about 4 months for the axle bolt mentioned above. When the part came in, the dealer installed the bolt and the hitch (and wiring harness). I have a small HF cargo trailer we plan on towing, here it is attached to our 2014 Victory.

    Is there any real data regarding the safety of the Spyder vs traditional motorcycles

    Vito, I get what you are saying. And for us it is kind of the same, though we always wear helmets. On our 2-wheels previously, it was boots and jackets and gloves all the time. I think you have to decide what risk you are willing to take. Living where we do, I am more comfortable to stay local...
