• 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.

First time ride on my Spyder today - I think I'm gonna like it!

I'm much more comfortable riding it now. I still have a ways to go at getting the curves better. Especially the left ones for some reason. I think it's mostly between my ears.
Just remember to look to where you want to go! And put pressure on your outside foot. Don't get distracted looking at an oncoming vehicle.

I started out on a Spyder 5 years ago. The ride home from the dealer convinced my I should take it back and unwind the deal. It scared the living daylights out of me. I’d never ridden an off-road or snowmobile so I didn’t get not being able to steer by counter steering at all.

But I persevered and took the BRP course and now five years later I’m pretty cool with them.

It took me at least a 1,000 miles to stop with the death grip and over compensating and overreacting to its manner of going down the road. In fact, that first summer season with Covid and that cut down the miles but I got the hang of it eventuality. Even front tire pressures are extremely important. Being even a single psi out cab plan maje

I still ride the Dave Moss “Two Clicks Out” method of brake, steer, power so I guess I’m not the fastest rider out there and lifting inside wheels means I’ve over done it and my wife won’t be happy.

We do canyons, surface streets and freeways and we seem to keep up with most thing. Our new 26 S2S seems to handle better, the new XPS Kenda tires are far better than the originals.

Getting above 80 mph and there are issues trying to pushing a shed sideways down rhe road.

Glad to hear you're getting settled into Ryding your Spyder. I too have a small issue with my left corners. Maybe it is a Safety thing? 🤔 Hang in there and enjoy the Time. (y)
 
Also came from two wheels. Also tried grabbing front brake lever because 1st spyder was a manual with the clutch. Have since bought a 2025 RTL and now clutch is gone and feel like I am lazy but love it when down shifting. Just take yor time and you will be fine.
