• 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.

    Anyone ever hit a critter with the Spyder?

    Today, I narrowly missed a squirrel. It appeared from the leaves and was by my wheel before I saw it. :yikes: My impulse was to swerve, but there was a car coming from the opposite direction. I braced myself to hit the little fella. Fortunately, the little critter stopped just in time. I hit a...

    Temperature Tolerance

    This is my first year ryding and I am sad that this season's days are numbered. Under what temperatures and conditions do you hibernate your Spyder? Do you ever awaken it during a January thaw or the hibernation period?

    Wind? What wind?

    Hubby (Adirondack Mike) got me a Cal-Sci windshield for my birthday and he installed it today. Now, I'm a big scaredy cat when it comes to ryding in the wind. I dislike, but can manage the sustained winds. The gusts throw me off balance and make me grab on. There have been beautifully sunny...

    Pumping breaks?

    I downshift in my preparation for stops and so, am not applying my brake until I am almost stopped. However, there is certainly a need to alert the driver behind me of my intent to stop or slow down. I don't want to set off any limp mode stuff if I'm tapping my brakes. What do you folks do?

    BRP and Spyder dealers

    This may not have anything to do with some of the BRP issues folks are having, but could some of the problem be with the dealer and not with BRP? It's possible the dealer isn't in good standing with BRP for any number of reasons. Maybe the account is past due and a cash only basis applies...

    Wind

    :helpsmilie:It seems as if my RT is very wind sensitive. It feels as if I'm having to fight the steering, as I seem to blow all over the road. Any tips for coping with or driving in very windy conditions?

    ATGATT?

    Do you practice this? I always wear a helmet (presently 3/4), jeans and at the minimum either a long sleeve shirt or denim jacket . My rides so far have been around town, usually not exceeding 35 miles. I did have one 85 mile trip in cooler weather, when I wore All the Gear. Currently, I am...

    Downshifting with SE5

    Does anyone manually downshift with the SE5, or do you let it downshift automatically? I have been manually downshifting because the RPMs seem to be too low.

    Newbie question

    I've had my motorcycle license 2 weeks tomorrow and my Spyder about 10 days. I passed my MSF course with a 2 wheeler. I have a question about entering curves. My MSF course instructs to look through the curve. Is it the same with a Spyder? I know - dumb question. Any tips?
