• 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.

    Anybody use this Motorcycle lift?

    I bought this one from Harbor Freight about 5 years ago to install a heavier swaybar. It worked fine, but just like CopperSpyder I bought two sets of jack stands to stabilize the motorcycle once i got it high enough to remove the bar. I got the jack stands from Harbor Freight too.

    cat delete 998 2013 RT

    You're welcome, at the time it helped to reduce the heat, and it was not that much louder. The thermowrap on the pipes helped a little, but gets scraped and torn going over a speed bump too fast. I intend to keep my 2013 until the wheels fall off.

    Pressed my luck

    Thanks for the info, it sounds like i did get the exception. i take a short ride most weekends with my neighbor. i think i will get a battery tender, sitting all week probably is not good for it, and the cost of a tender is not that much. Thanks everyone and take care.

    Pressed my luck

    I have a 2013 RT, and i thought i could get one more year out of the original battery. No such luck. beautiful Saturday morning, and the battery is most sincerely dead. At least it happened in my garage. I ordered another on Amazon and should be here in a few days.

    My tour across America 2021

    So sorry for your loss My vote is in on the east side of the Sierra Nevada range in California take Lee Vining Road 120 and Tioga Pass to Yosemite National Park. Beautiful ride but check ahead to make sure the highway is open.

    New life adventure ?

    I like to go snowboarding with my kid, now he's middle aged, and worried about hurting himself. We are getting a couple feet of snow out here so it is going to be a good, early season. I repurposed my blue plaid leisure suit. Have fun if you can afford to!

    Lightweight cover

    Black Flannel Sheets I bought a cheap set of black full size flannel sheets, the flat goes over the bike with a couple of chip clips to hold it in place and the fitted works just right over my trailer. its not waterproof, but helps keep off the dust in the garage.

    So far, so good...

    Armadillo mower Do you have armadillos in your area? We don't have those out here. I've hit a jackrabbit, an armadillo would make a heck of a bang.

    Spyder Sisters Sunshade

    I have wanted to get one of these sunshades for a while. The seat gets baking hot when parked in the sunshine, and when we go up in the national parks it should keep the gawkers off. It is a nice contrasting color for the deep brown paint, easy to put on and secure. Cami took my order and in a...

    An Old Friend Looked Me Up.

    Thanks for the news When I bought my Spyder it was encouraging to have someone with a great deal of motorcycle experience like Scotty answer questions on the forum. The forum has others who have been just as generous with advice, and it is appreciated as much as Scotty. Thank you very much Bob
