• 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.

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    Like you & me & many others out there, we grow complacent over time. Sometimes it takes skinned knuckles and or knees to refresh reality as to just how dam dangerous it is out there. Sadly, it only takes seeing one lifeless body on the pavement to make you consider parking it permanently. I feel...

    LOL... that's mighty considerate of you. When you finally get into the ER, those nice nurses don't have to waste their time and energy carefully cutting through all your safety gear to get to your injuries.

    Anyone found or come up with something to keep the contents in those annoying side load saddle bags?

    Lose the RT and get a Tri Glide.

    Has anyone used one of these trailers? Any doubts?

    It's just me, but I would not invest in a specialty trailer unless I intended never to haul anything else, or I lived in a complex that had only fold-up storage available. Maybe U-Haul would be your best bet.

    Good for you, we just passed 51 years and are still riding double.

    Yep, it's not only the distracted driver you have to watch out for, it's the distracted Spyder rider you have to look out for, and that would be YOU. The Spyder is so comfortable and easy to ride that a rider can easily become almost oblivious to their surroundings. I have to, sometimes, on a...

    What are your thoughts on any potential reliability/issues of this 16 year old Spyder?

    By all means, trailer it home. Don't risk riding home. Find a non BRP shop or tech to help you with issues because you will have some. If you are mechanically inclined and enjoy working and riding older bikes/trikes you should have fun with this one, if the price is right. Let us know how it...

    Can anyone tell me what this tray in the RT Trunk is?

    And I'm missing my tray too.

    RT Muffler needs repair at flared end - any thoughts or sources on repair pipes with flares?

    Best idea I can think of, that's what I'd do. Second best idea would be to go to a muffler shop for a fix.

    I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

    Today, on my way home from town with this post still fresh in my memory, I stopped to fuel up at a small gas station where I normally frequent. After the automatic shut off, I stuffed (dribbled) in 2 extra gallons paying close attention to what I was doing, and I never touched the rubber gas...

    I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

    To get a full tank without spilling any gas, you have to be more skilled than the average gas pump nozzle.

    What's the possibility of mounting up a side car to my F3-T .. Anyone ever done it?

    I'm with Mikey and BK911 on this one, lose the spyder and go for the little sports car with the retractable hard top.

    The things you learn...

    I can't find it, but there's an earlier post (a year or two ago) that shows a breakdown of exactly what the "clunk" is and why it happens. Once I understood the how and why, it became a non issue.

    The things you learn...

    You can avoid that morning "clunk" with a little practice. Watch your tach needle on first start up. Each Spyder is just a tad different. But just before the needle reaches it's full rise, shift into First or Reverse, and you will avoid the clunk. You won't hit the sweet spot every time, but...

    I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

    I'm Stage II, so I don't give a hoot about the $$$ of gas because I use premium; and if I can't find it, I carry a small bottle of Boostane with me so that I can make it premium if I have to. I avoid Costco and all the newer stations with the high velocity pumps. I fill up at the little ol' mom...
