• 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.

    Only one of the reasons I got rid of my Spyder! [QUOTE=Looking at an 2011 or 2012 Burgman Executive with a hitch kit. Man am I pi**ed! Only one of the reasons I got rid of my 2011 Spyder RT. BTW:I traded it in on a 2013 AN650 Burgman (They have dropped the "Executive" title) and actually...

    Goodbye to my Spyder

    Thanks to all of you who offered your best wishes. Usually when someone says something like "Nice Scooter" I reply "it's really not a scooter...it's a motorcycle disguised as a scooter!" 650cc will run me down the road faster then I want to go. Saw 90mph on my first one once and still had lots...

    Goodbye to my Spyder

    I spent over an hour writing a long Post (probably my last) explaining the Title of this Post. My wife has been ill and with two of my daughters visiting (many distractions) it took me some time to write it. When I finally finished the Post and clicked to download it, I found that my "story"...

    Nobody There? I just "browsed" the entire site and it seem that there isn't a lot of interest in the site lately. In fact, I think I only saw one (1) Posting in 2013. I sometimes wonder if it's even worth while to stay. I've only seen one Spyder in my area (Lake Placid) since the get together...

    Got a LIMP MODE but no code tonight

    Re-setting Limp Mode Referring to your Post.... See, I knew I had heard this before. (Ref: Reading other Posts concerning Limp Mode)

    @$@%#%^@ Limp Mode!

    Re-setting Limp Mode I seem to recall reading somewhere in the past that if one just parks the Spyder, turns the key off, takes the key out and walks away for a few minutes (go get a cup of coffee or whatever) and come back after a short period of time and the the Limp Mode will have re-set...

    Spyder Sightings

    Spotted another one. This morning, (Mar 19) while out on my bicycle, riding South on Cty Rd 17 between Lake Placid and Sebring, FL, I was passed by a Silver RT pulling a matching CanAm trailer. Wonder if that was another one of our "Snow Bird" visitors? Must have been, because he was riding...

    How to Steer a Spyder and Avoid the Pain between the Shoulders (video)

    Spyder Vs Burgman650 Exec I was on my second Burgman650 (upgraded to the Exec Model for the ABS, etc,) when my wife stopped riding with me. We had a couple of "Drops" while not moving and that freaked her out, I guess. I tried to explain to her that those were caused by her "squirming" around...

    Miles per gallon

    Miles per Gallon I have tried both "Regular" & "High Test" gas in my Spyder and I truthfully see no difference in performance or mileage. The only place I have seen where I could buy No-Ethanol gas around here (Lake Placid, Fl) is a Mom & Pop Store/Gas Station a few miles from my house that...

    Rear Tire Change How about the name and address of that Dealer? The price sure sounds better then some have quoted.

    Spyder Sightings

    At the "RIDe TO THE HEARTLAND" Had a couple on a White RT stop beside my wife and I at a stop light as we were leaving Sebring (FL) after attending the Event. The light changed, so all we had the opportunity to do was exchange smiles and "Nice Bike" to each other. In total, I only remember...

    "Run to The Heartland", Sebring FL Anybody else coming? If so, what day? I'm sure if there's only 2 of us, we should see each other. The wife and I are going to be there at least on Friday. Jerry

    Run To The Heartland I mistakenly called it the "Ride to The Heartland". "Run to The Heartland" is the correct title. Google (or search) Run to the heartland, Sebring FL for a link with information.

    Sorry I missed you. I'll bet you were at the get-together at Golden Corral, too? So many people there that the wife and I really didn't get the chance to make new friends or acquaintances. I hope there will be a lot of Spyder riders in Sebring next weekend (Oct 5-7) for the annual "Ride to The...
