• 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.

    Spyder Transfer Hoist - from powerchair to bike and back

    Advice for Ryker Possibilities

    I totally forgot to come back here and post my results. 1) Bought the 2012 RT Limited. (It already had swing out arm rests) 2) Used the mounting bolts for the arm rests to add a standard automotive style lap belt. This holds the passenger's hips in place nicely. 3) I swing the arm rests in, so...

    Advice for Ryker Possibilities

    No, the sore arms aren't a discouragement. ALL of my handlebar steered vehicles have been motorcycles. BMX, Dirt bikes and street bikes. I knew it would be different. It was just DIFFERENT. My wife didn't have the same problem. (She's got many fewer motorcycle pilot hours than I do) The Can Am...

    Advice for Ryker Possibilities

    Ok. Thank you for all your feedback. I know it's hard to give advice on other people's situations - especially involving disabilities. I've managed time today to stop in at our local dealership and take a Spyder out for a rip. I took a (year unknown) ST-S out for a ride through some local...

    Hey there all. I'm new here. I don't yet have 3 wheels, but am shopping for a new bike. (Current ride is a Triumph Sprint RS). I need some advice on accessibility modifications.
