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.
Honey, I'm Home!

Not going to do much, just some power, ESI lighting, and a comm system...plus the trailer hitch.:congrats: Scotty!
I can't wait to see what you do to it. We'll have to get the local Spyder clan together again somewhere this summer!

Michigan must be the hot spot for two Spyder families. See what you guys started?
Dealer provided some cheap plastic bolts, under protest. No locknut provision for these, though. They will certainly not do. It isn't much compared to the $40 worth of hardware that comes standard with the RS. It's not that I can't fix it, it's just that a $25,000 machine should have at least the same frills as the cheaper machines. I do honestly believe that BRP has to start paying attention to details like this if they want to attract the BMW and Goldwing crowds...even if they offer such frills as options, like with Harleys.

:congrats: did you get the ipod?, and great pics btw, did you use the heated grips taking her in the trailerPicked up the RT-S at the dealer today. Minor adjustment needed on the trunk latch, but otherwise no problems. BTW, for the electric trunk latch to work, the engine must be running, and there appears to be a slight delay. Read your manual. Spent some time searching for the toolkit, which is attached to the underside of the right rear of the seat. Paint is a bit disappointing with some mild orange peel. This is common these days, even in high end cars, but it drives me nuts, especially on a black vehicle. Mine was far better than the demo unit, though. One irritant that I fail to understand. No license plate attachment hardware is provided. The RS comes with stainless screws, washers, flanged locknuts, and 3M Dual Locks. The $25,000 RT-S comes with absolutely nothing! Bad idea, BRP!!! Spring for a few bucks for some nice hardware. I promise you I will not buy it from you, just for spite.
No chance to ride, probably for weeks to come. Hard enough to load in the dealer's icy lot. Unloading on the snowpack at home was easier. Safely tucked in the garage, where it will quietly await some minor mods like Powerlets and a heated gear pigtail. I will also have to orient myself thoroughly with the many new features, set up the radio, etc. I may put on some mudflap lights ASAP, too. As soon as Magic Man has some of his new RT items, I will do some more. There is some neat stuff coming. I like the location of the new KewlMetal highway pegs, but I just don't see myself using them much. I am not used to riding with my feet out front, and it hurts my caboose.

Yes, I have the engraved iPod, and I loaded it, but will not get to cruise and hear the tunes through the sound system for a while. One tip, you have to load your songs on the iPod manually, since they loaded the photos and movies from another computer, and they will be erased if you just sync the iPod. No, I haven't tried the heated grips. :roflblack: They also included a rubber stick-on emblem with the same PE number for the trailer, even though I ordered no trailer. Kind of neat, you can get a trailer later and designate it as a PE...with the exact same number.:congrats: did you get the ipod?, and great pics btw, did you use the heated grips taking her in the trailer

Never too early to start planning. The heck with summer, lets plan on an early spring get together!
Congratulations, I know how aggravating little crap like license hardware can be when you purchase something in that price range. We have front plates in Illinois and my cousin bought a new Chrysler a couple years ago and it didn't come with a front license plate bracket...she had to buy one..from the dealer. I would have walked away from the deal.Even those cost cutting measures apparently couldn't keep them in the black. I'm sure that type of sales/service helps keep them in the red though:roflblack:

I have been reading your posts for weeks now and foaming at the mouth! I am hoping to get my own RTS this spring! What is this about the new tax break for the spyder if you take delivery by yr end?
Also, I am in love with that black spyder! I am hoping to see the blue spyder at the international motorcycle show!
