• 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.

    2022 RT Ltd Rear Trunk Lock is virtually useless! Anyone else's the same?

    2022 RT Ltd Rear Trunk Lock is virtually useless! Anyone else's the same?

    I recently went for a 21 F3 Ltd to a 22 RT Ltd. I am finding that the lock on the rear trunk is virtually useless. When in the lock position, there is enough slack or give in the mechanism that the trunk can still be opened with just a little pressure applied to the latch. Anyone else run into this?

    F3 Ltd vs RT Ltd - does one feel less heat than the other?

    I just went from a '21 F3 LTD to a '22 RT LTD and prior even to that had a '12 RT. Your feet and ankles will definitely feel more heat from the F3.

    Who is a former Goldwing rider?

    I rode a GL1500 for quite a few years before switching to a 2012 RT. I had two considerations: first , the odds catching up that I would have to deal with the full weight of the 1500 in the not too distant future and second, riding comfort for the Mrs. She is on the tall side and the (89)...

    One key or two

    Same experience in South Florida last weekend. Even called Can Am personally and they stated that they only come with one key now. I pointed out the the owners manual that came with the F3 stated 2 keys as does their online downloadable manual. I also told him that the loss of that single key...

    spyder events

    My 2012 RT handles better than some cars I've driven in the rain. We rode through some of the wicked weather that hit Springfield, MO just before Spyderfest 10 kicked off. We've ridden though 4 hours of varying intensity rain between St. Louis and the Chicago area and we've also been caught in...

    Another accident to report

    I've had similar experiences with younger kids and, unexpectedly, a car full of high schoolers. Makes me hopeful that Spyders and Rykers will become more common

    Sorry, can't speak to that. Best to email and ask them directly.

    What bluetooth devices will work?

    I use this bluetooth adapter on my 2012 RT to do just what you are doing: https://www.amazon.com/BK01-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Wireless-Streaming/dp/B01MSUWCZ0/ref=sr_1_11_sspa?keywords=bluetooth+adapter+for+car&qid=1559862947&s=gateway&sr=8-11-spons&psc=1 I mounted the actual receiver to the left...

    Is it legal

    Absolutely agree. Sadly it happens with other lines of business as well (think SCUBA). Here's an opportunity to make money (which is the whole point or you go out of business) and build your customer base and you piss it away? I'd be naming names and just maybe someone else will get the message...

    I'm finally going to buy a Spyder!

    It's not clear (to me, anyways) that the OP intends to commute into or out of Chicago and even if we knew that he was, my next question becomes what part of the city? That makes a huge difference in considering what routes to take back and forth. But more to your concerns, I've seen some of...

    I'm finally going to buy a Spyder!

    While I think Chicago traffic can seem less than safe, I don't think it's quite as bad you've implied. If you're keeping up with traffic in your chosen lane, you've not much to fear from other drivers. If you're slowing traffic, you're creating an unsafe situation for yourself, regardless of...

    The currant and LAST Spyderfest

    This was my first as well. I'm glad we got to go, even if only for a short time. Met some great people and learned a lot. I don't know that I would attend another for at least another few years. So much riding and so little time to get it all in. If the venue were closer to home, this could be...
