• 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.

    YESTERDAY WAS PROVE IT DAY FOR COCAINE

    I don't think it is any secret here on SL that I do love to push my machine to the limit. I had taken my Mom to the doctor's and when going back home I was pulling out of her development, I pounded the throttle next to a big Dodge pickup truck. Up to 55mph in a few seconds. The truck speeds...

    FEDERAL EVO FRONT TIRE REVIEW

    I put a set of the Federal Evo's on Cocaine a couple of weeks ago. I have only gotten 600 miles on them in the past couple of weeks but I thought I would write a review in case anyone else is thinking about putting them on their bike. I got them in the OEM size, and had the local Can Am...

    Heel-Toe Shifter is Installed

    Got the heel-toe shifter from Value Accessories yesterday, and of course went right out to install it. Came upon a couple of problems. First, when I first put it on, the heel portion of the shifter was scraping against the inside panel. So I took a hammer to it to put enough of a bend in it so...

    Back in the saddle again. Sort of!

    Thought I would update my situation after my toe amputation 2 weeks ago. Went to the Dr. today to get the bandages taken off for the first time. Since it was a 50/50 shot that the amputation would work and I wouldnt need further surgery, I was a little nervous but still confident. Immediately...

    TOE AMPUTATION CAUSES QUESTION ABOUT HEEL-TOE SHIFTERS

    Friday morning I am having the second toe on my left foot amputated. You know, the "this little piggy stayed home" toe. I somehow managed to get an infection in the bone of that toe. I had a kidney transplant 16 years ago, and any of the non-amputation cures will probably cause problems for my...

    Frogg Togg Rain Gear

    I have seen a lot of people on here say that Frogg Togg rain gear is the best, but what kind of FT gear do you use? I was checking this out since I probably need a rain suit, and their website shows 5 different motorcycle specific models to choose from. Any help would be appreciated.

    RIDING IN THE RAIN

    Took a ride up to Maggie Valley yesterday. I will have another post about that later, but when riding back home to Rural Hall on I40, I got caught in some really heavy rain and strong winds. I was very happy on how Cocaine handled the weather. I had to slow down to 70mph because of the standing...

    Premium Gas shortage Down South, so using 87 - OK?!

    I am not sure if any of the other southern Spyder riders are having the same problem I am, but with the pipeline leak from a couple of weeks ago that caused most of the gas stations around me to run out of gas, I am having trouble finding any premium gas to put in Cocaine. The stations around...

    Installed a Shorty Windshield

    I installed a Shorty Windshield yesterday that I bought from a member here, MOSESS. Well packed and received pretty quickly considering he was going to Americade. Love having more air on me for this hot summer weather. No buffeting, just a little more wind and a little more noise. Feels...

To Deals Gap. 71 was my top speed with a slow speed of 25 in the hairpin turns. Generally going 40 to 45 in most turns but if I could see...

    Stupid Question?

    I formerly rode a 2012 RT and recently bought a 2015 RT. Has anybody else who made a similar switch noticed any differences in the position of the foot pegs and handlebars. I am not talking anything major but it seems that my left foot hurts a little more when shifting, as well as my shoulders...

    INSTALLED DIAMOND R WEB ARMRESTS TODAY

    I installed my first mod today. A set of Diamond R armrests. Relatively easy install, in part because Tasian posted some nice photos when he installed his. I didnt take photos of the install since his were so good. Anyway, they look great on Cocaine and the higher height of the armrest really...

    ADVANTAGES TO 2015 RT VS 2012 RT

    I am thinking of trading up from The Beast to a 2015 RT S SM6. I know all about the motor advantages, which is why I am considering trading. My question is, what are, if any, the other advantages to the 2015's?
