• 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.

    Got Caught!

    kept going In 2008 I took my son that was 8 at the time from CT to Ohio on a Spyder. We went up to Maine from CT and kept going. It was a trip that I will certainly never forget. He was fine on the back of the Spyder. He had ridden many many hrs on various jetskis including several on my race...

    Back on a Spyder

    I guess it was not meant to be. Here is the story. I saw the bike on Craigslist last night. I called the guy and made him an offer. He said that the bike was his fathers and that he would have to call him to get an answer. He later called me back and said his father agreed to the price and that...

    Back on a Spyder

    It looks like I have finally made a deal on a spyder that I can live with, so I will be back on a Spyder. I will be picking up a 2010 RS SM5 tomorrow with 300 miles on it. It is blue in color with a pipe and some odds and ends. I am not crazy about the blue panels and might be interested in...

    Phantom 540 - Accident - Roll over

    I will admit that I did not read all the posts, but I am glad you are going to be ok. The Spyder is just a bike and can be replaced. In your early posts you said your wife was happy that you were alive and she realized what you meant to her. You should also tell her you are happy to be alive and...

    More on BRP and Trailer License Brackets

    I would not have taken the trailer in that condition and told them to find me another trailer or lose my business on the entire deal. If you have paperwork from the dealer stating the trailer to be a 2011 model you might have recourse, but you would need to check your local laws.

    Is this normal?

    I remember the first one I bought in CT. On the ride home to Ohio I failed to allow time for people and their questions. The trip took me longer then I thought as I had so many people asking me questions. It did get me front row parking at Quaker Steak and Lube on bike night on the ride home...

    Spyder in the garage again

    I am back to riding a Spyder. I have purchased my second Spyder and I am pleased with it. I rode it home about 160 miles. It is a PE bike, but I do not remember the number like 3500. It might be one of the highest PE numbers out. How high did they go? The new bike has the back rest, truck...

    Merged fb post

    These were custom made by the owner of that Spyder. He has said many times that he does not make things for other people. They are very nice looking and I wouldn't mind a pair, but he will not make them.

    Fouling spark plug

    I am not sure if you are reving a cold engine. My Buells would foul a plug a in heart beat if you rev the engine while cold. I have not done this to mine as I have gotten use to letting my bikes idle till warm before riding.

    RECEIVED BRP RACK AND BACKREST

    You can replace the tailights bulbs with the rear rack in place. It is harder to do, but is possible. I have done it.

    SM5 with Hindle, Crackle POP

    I am getting a lot of crackling and poping with my Hindle. It does not seem to be there all the time, but comes and goes. I think the bike is too lean. I have thought this since getting the bike. Does anyone have any suggestion or thoughts on this.

    Tell me your best Spyder story for a free t-shirt

    I purchased my Spyder used in NH and rode it home to Ohio. I took my son along on the ride and we stopped in Niagra. It was the best bike ride I have ever taken and my son loves the bike. All along the way people stopped us and asked about the bike. This of course is the short story and I have...
