• 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.

    Low Speed Wreck, Lots of Damage

    Update- the estimate is in, $7900. Our dealer says BRP makes them buy x amount of parts each year, so they asked if we'd be willing to let them order our parts as part of that order. The only issue is they don't do that order for a couple more weeks. We figured that we'd let them do it...

    A spyder parked in a Harley Davidson Dealership...

    My wife belongs to a ladies riding group, and one of the girls is overly proud of her HD Softtail. It really frosts her onions when a group of them are out for a ride and all the attention at the stops goes to my wife's Spyder and not even a glance at her beloved HD. No one pays attention to me...

    Low Speed Wreck, Lots of Damage

    got it towed up to the dealer yesterday. They haven't torn into it yet (there are 2 other wrecks ahead of ours!) but the tech called me and said it looks like the frame is bent along with the front end stuff that we had figured on. He said it'll most likely be repaired, not totaled. That would...

    Low Speed Wreck, Lots of Damage

    small update, insurance guy was here today. Never saw a Spyder before so it's being towed up to the dealer tomorrow to have them give an itemized list of what it needs.

    Low Speed Wreck, Lots of Damage

    We paid 16k for it earlier this year. KBB was over 17k yesterday. So we'd be covered, but replacing it would not be practical, because of the cost of a new one, or even finding a deal like this on a 2012. It just stinks that such a low speed impact causes this much damage.

    Low Speed Wreck, Lots of Damage

    no serious injuries... a couple bruises. did they total yours? I'm really hoping ours is not, we got a great deal on it and wouldn't be able to replace it for the price we paid.

    Low Speed Wreck, Lots of Damage

    First- no injuries.... This weekend we were about 200 miles away on a multi day ride. Lots of technical roads in the mountains. My wife was on her RTS with a passenger on the back, I was following on my Concours. We were making a left turn onto a highway on ramp, and her left front wheel...

    Used RT prices???

    2 weeks ago we paid 16,000 for a 2012 with under 4200 miles. Another dealer had a 2011 with 11k miles for 20,500. They have since dropped the price to 18,700. They were going to sell it to us for 17500, that's as low as they'd go.

    Spyders Draw the Most Interest!

    We've only had ours for a week and it's been cold/snowy so riding time has been really limited, but Friday I ran it out to do some errands- a Sam's Club grocery run. I had 3 people come up and talk to me about it while I was loading up the storage with my purchases. I get a some questions once...

    New Owner

    I'll do that! She's not much of a forum person, where as I'm on a bunch for both riding and other interests, but she does do face book. No relation to any Mike's that I know of! :) I probably won't get a lot of saddle time on the Spyder, but I'm sure I can sneak it out once in a while. I...

    New Owner

    Hi, my wife and I just purchased a 2012 RT-S. We're both motorcycle riders (I ride a 2011 Kawasaki Concours, she has a 2009 Yamaha VStar 1300 Tourer). Due to some knee issues she no longer feels comfortable on 2 wheels, so we started looking at trikes. Luckily, she didn't like any of the...
