• 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.

    USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

    Nice to see some older "tech"/"propeler" heads in the group. I started in IT in the late 70s and made a career out of it, but I'm now happily retired and enjoying my time spent riding. :-)

    USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

    My last name starts with "Ps". Like almost every word that starts with "Ps", it is of Greek origin - "Psi" (Ψ) in the Greek alphabet. The "P" is silent - not pronounced. Similar to Psychology, Psychic, etc. Colleagues, a long time ago, coined my "SilentP" name, also because I am a man of (very)...

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    I have the General Altimax RT45 225/60R15. I bought different stock size because the lager size aligned my on-board speedometer with the (actual speed) GPS system. Prior, the bike's speedometer was always a bit faster than the real speed - the /60R profile fixed that.

    Should I get a 2014 now, or wait and get a newer model? Any 'gotta have' features?

    I was fortunate enough to run across a forum member who lives in the area and he disabled my DESS. As you stated, I am not able to start the bike using the non-chipped (cheap) keys.

    Hope I'm not done riding my Spyder for the year?!

    Mine has been in hibernation mode for about two weeks now. I live in NE Ohio and we've already seen a couple snow storms and salt on the roads.

    Yes. Headlight adjustment knobs. Have a look at this video:

    A Request Passed On To All - Add your Spyder/Ryker Year/model to your Sig Line!

    I agree about the request. Helps me understand what a poster of a message is riding to see if there's any similarities between them and me to pay closer attention to their postings.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    No past issues with mice, but I thought it's a good pre-cautionary measure. Too cautionary??? I just want to do the right thing here. Are you suggesting that mice will gravitate towards the air box before crawling into the tail-pipe?

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I put her tires on rubber matts today. Still need to get some steel wool in the tail pipe. Other than that, she's sitting pretty ready for hibernation. -

    Deer collision - safer on a Spyder? Thoughts? Or first-hand accounts?

    Wow! He was lucky. If I ever hit a deer, I would want it to be just like this. :-)

    Any ideas on adding an aftermarket USB for phone charging during travels on our 2017 RT?

    I did a quick-and-easy mod. Ran a USB charging cable from the rear trunk under the seat to the glovebox and charge my phone while on the RAM Mount on my handlebar.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    What Mikey ^^^ said! I still need to raise her up off the floor and plug up the tailpipe with some steel wool, though. Doing it this weekend. Then she's all set for the winter. -

    Brrrrr - The last ride of the season in NE Ohio

    The festival is traditionally held in June, but is no longer a thing. Last one was in 2023, after it'd lasted ~20 years. I've attended almost all since the beginning. If you're on Facebook, it's closed page can be found here...
