Godd memories of all the roads.
Thanks for taking me along.

Pro Caliber in Bend needs Mr. Smoak.
Service there is not great. Costs more than double what it's worth.
I live near Bend. I haven't found any independent shops that work on Spyders. One guy will...

I have been super impressed with Baja Ron, both for service and products but also for his responses to questions I've asked.
Lamont is in the same category and performs identically.
I suspect they...

Been using Warm'n'Safe for years. Except for the spelling of their name, I've been quite pleased. Wife agrees, and she's always cold.
socks, pants, jacket and glove liners. All work. Simple to use....

We have two "helmet hooks," one on each end of the handlebar. If I'm feeling specially paranoid I have a padlock which slips in the hole in the hook, there for that purpose.

Some with a hacksaw...

BRP has proven to be worthless for any information I've requested. "Go to the dealer." I already had. Dealer said "Contact BRP."
BRP deserves an award for still being in business.

My "dealer" loves to sell spyders and hates to service them. Lots of push back when I call. I'm always looking for anyone else to work on the spyder: including me.

the dealer wanted $550 for a...

NB: My Zumo is a 595. Yours may be different, but it should handle GPX files without blinking.

I've been setting routes in Google Maps. Then I send it to my phone, or in my case, since I don't own...

Stay out of cafes and restaurants.
I prepare food at home which covers breakfast.
Lunch is a tortilla wrapped around a dry-ish cheese, e.g. mozarella, often with some salami or other sausage that...

Addendum
I bought the Rivco on Amazon. Nothing about Spyders there that I could find. Reading and rereading posts here I find references to Rivco and many but not all say "Don't use on a spyder."...

Mine arrived yesterday. I unpacked it today, along with hitch. Read the instructions. Yes: I'm one of those guys who reads directions first.
Rivco says "Warranty is void if you put this on an...

I'm not from that area and haven't traveled there. My guess is the short brick walls are for wild boar?
(Not to be confused with "wild bore"... )

I used to teach a course called "Critical Thinking and Logic." This thread would be a terrific example of . . .

Well, a terrific example of lots of things I could use in that class as examples....

Hmm. In the time I've owned a spyder, I've never once turned on the radio.

and the word "estimate" makes me think more than twice.

Thanks. Everything Hough has done is worth every rider's reading, and time studying too.

I recall reading an article a few years back based on research done, if memory serves (my memory is a part-time servant and, if it shows up for work, is slow) the data came out of the state of Maine...

I use it in all the carbon-based fuel vehicles and tools I own.
I know it's snake oil, but it has cleaned up more than one engine, mine and friends' who became believers after trying it.
I add, I...

I've done it to keep my cpap battery charged. No problems that I can detect. Voltmeter shows a constant 14.X volts when running with spare/second battery attached.

If you want to get serious-er,...

Helpful. Thank you!
By "center wheel" do you mean the case is mounted over, or mostly over, the wheel?

Coming from the two-wheeled world I'm drawn to mono- single-wheel trailers. I've read some folks here who are quite adamant that mono-wheel trailers have no place behind a Spyder. My quite faulty...

Oh. Uh. Wrong side of the continent.

We've got plenty of rattle snakes here in eastern Oregon.

One road got its name from said snakes. Not the "Rattler," but the "Rattlesnake."

I've ridden...

Had sheepskins on an old Volvo 242. Kept them when I sold the car. Cut a piece that wasn't worn, trimmed it a bit so it fit the saddle, added an elastic piece of cloth which runs under the seat.

1. Ron's swaybar
2. Heated gear for the wife
3. Quatracs

The latest from BRP customer service is sending me to the dealer, with the promise that the dealer knows more than the folks in Quebec. Doubtful.

And doubtful that the dealer could know less.
...

Well done. Thank You!
I remember the Grosglockner. Unfortunately I was driving on four wheels, not three or two.

Delightful. Thanks!

Here in the U.S. a pastry's "creme" or "cream" filling often, usually, has never been near a cow. If there IS any milk in the stuff called cream, it was in the truck that drove...

I sympathize. I don't think posting contact information will improve things. I've been asking for an answer to a basic question.

BRP replies without addressing any question.

After a couple more...

Enjoyment on a scale of 0--10, with ten being "Think I've died and gone to heaven" and zero being "Wish I could die, even if it means hell" I'm at a five (5)

Experience of Ownership, same scale,...

I spoke way too soon.
Upon further investigation I'm finding conflicting data on correct spring length. So that's on hold for now.
Had I bought the springs I discussed, I was going with 300 pounds....
