• 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.

But I guess for me part of the hobby is hanging out in the shop and cleaning/polishing - perhaps I need a life! We have snow & ice here for a...

    Woo Hoo! Spyder is Home

    Got a good deal on our "new to us" 2015 RT-S Special features. As I mentioned in a previous introduction, I have been riding Goldwings for the last twenty years and have gotten to the point that I was losing confidence in slow speed parking lot type situations with my wife on the back. To...

    An Introduction & Question

    Yes all correct. I tool Paul's advice and talked with Motorcycle Dave and will get from him the SM10 dongle & probably the 10S headsets. There is also a way to install the XM radio easily.

    An Introduction & Question

    Thanks for the replies! I'm not apposed to Bluetooth I was just hoping there was a setting on the Spyder's audio system to broadcast to Bluetooth without the sound blasting through the speakers on the bike. Also an accommodation for an an "Aux In" so that I could install my portable XM radio...
