• 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.

    How do you control Rabbits (without shooting)?

    Has the local council considered holding a "Thomas Austin Day?" Mr. Austin imported rabbits from Europe in 1869. Perhaps they could pay a bounty on rabbits "harvested" on Austin's Day. Harp seals were decimated by men wielding clubs. Just trying to think outside the box. As pointed out...

    Prepping for the ultimate riding season - have I missed anything?

    For a true adventure, leave the trailer at home. Ride the trike. You will have a lot more stories to share with friends and relatives. Perhaps you will share with the members of this forum.

    Open Trailers for towing Spyders - what's the best suspension type? Experience, opinions, or are we just over-thinking this?

    The Stinger is a good trailer, but it only carries a Spyder. I sold mine and went to a flatbed to give me the option of hauling all my other toys and treasures.

    Returning member after years on a Goldwing Trike - anyone else done this? Thoughts?

    My Goldwing trike carried me over 50,000 miles. My 2022 S2S, has now been ridden through the 48 contiguous States. They are both excellent touring machines. Neither bike ever left me stranded. Honda dealerships are numerous and provide great service. My only complaint on the Goldwing Trike was...

    I ran my own Stabilizer/sway bar testing.

    No. I'm cautious on gravel.

    I ran my own Stabilizer/sway bar testing.

    A Sea to Sky Spyder is my choice for long-distance touring. For fun weekend runs, the Ryker Rally is hard to beat. Based on reports on this forum and discussions with other riders about how to improve my Ryker’s handling, I decided to upgrade its stabilization/sway bar. To determine if the...

    My New 2025 Sea-to-Sky - any suggestions on what gear or upgrades to get first?

    Stock means as delivered from factory.

    My New 2025 Sea-to-Sky - any suggestions on what gear or upgrades to get first?

    Why waste your money on what someone else thinks is necessary? My 2022 S2S has been ridden in stock form to all 48 contiguous States. It leads other riders on the Tail of the Dragon monthly rides. Ride it in stock form until some shiny bling screams, "Buy Me." Enjoy having the extra money in...

    Define "Old"

    The life expectancy of a male born in 1939 was 69.41 years. Statistically, my warranty expired 16-plus years ago. Those on my 2022 S2S and my Ryker Rally have the same issue. But I won't be stopped by a piece of paper listing statistics created by some bean counter without imagination. I admit...

    Touring on the Canyon? Just got back from 1600 mile trip - my observations...

    You've added another machine to the endless list of fun vehicles. My S2S and Ryker Rally are great, but the little TW-200 still tops my favorite bike list. My T-dub carried me 4,000 miles through Mexico. A Goldwing toured 49 states. A Honda 55cc bike covered 10,000 mile on Luzon Is. Every...

    Whose Ryker Air Filters Are You Using? OEM or which A/mkt equivalents?

    Thank you, BajaRon. Amazon indicates they only fit early-year models. Updated information is great.

    Whose Ryker Air Filters Are You Using? OEM or which A/mkt equivalents?

    Is the K&N CM-9910 filter used on all RYKERs and all years?

    Devil's Triangle and Tail of the Dragon - watch out - here comes a Spyder!

    Interesting conversation at the gas pump - asked why I chose to ride a Spyder rather than 'a real motorcycle'?!

    Gas station and parking lot encounters are perfect locations for educating persons about our machines. I use myself as an example - I bought my first Harley-Davidson in 1949 when I was 10 years old. I rode two-wheelers for the next 71 years. When I discovered I couldn't pick my BMW R1200RT up...
