• 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.

    It's almost that time again....

    We're only having our daughter and both of our mothers over for dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Our son lives in Nashville and our other daughter along with her husband and our two grandsons are self quarantining after traveling out of state. Thanks for the holiday wishes and the same back at you.

    Wow

    The government, particularly NASA has been using nuclear batteries for a long time. The Voyager spacecrafts have been running on them for over 40 years and still are going yet. A nuclear battery has a radioactive core that sheds particles as nuclear material decays. The battery takes that and...

    Guess someone named Kevin Bliss needed to make a point? Yes, you can flip a Spyder

    Kind of like the Jackass movies except his ride is much more expensive than a stolen shopping cart.

    I Pulled the Trigger!!!!

    After a dozen or so years since I first demo rode a Spyder and a few more demos in-between, I too am getting ready to do the same. Probably by springtime. It has gotten more difficult to hold up a big two wheeler to the point that I downsized to a smaller one last year. My wife had knee...

    2020 RT Limited Marsala Red Black addition

    Honda East Toledo is showing two of them on their website. Possibly in crates as their showroom is packed with other rides ( motorcycles, scooters etc.) besides Spyders.

    SM6 vs SE6

    You have to consider that a 1330cc motor is not going to have as much torque as an 1800cc motor. Horsepower probably is less as well. The other thing is power to weight ratio and that is probably the key to the difference you are experiencing. That and three wheels will have more polling...

    We both got to sit test one.

    2017 MSRP and discounts If my memory serves me the 2017 F3 Ltd. was listed at well over $28K and American Powersports has this one at $23,999. I've checked Honda East in Maumee but their website wants a"click a quote". Not ready here to be bombarded with sales calls. Powersports 360 up in...

    We both got to sit test one.

    Thank-you much I'm visiting one of the surgeons for a follow-up tomorrow and will see the other one in a couple weeks. I appreciate all of the words of encouragement. I will really miss riding once the weather gets warmer so I'm hopeful the eyesight gets fixed by then. I think the F3 Limited...

    We both got to sit test one.

    We were on our way home Monday from a little weekend stay with our son in Nashville. We stopped in Findlay Ohio and ate lunch there. I suggested we stop by at American Powersports before going home We looked around and I spotted a new 2017 F3 Limited in Pure Magnesium Metallic. The saleman...

    Bidding Farewell

    Opposite End I'm getting older and am close to getting my first 3 wheeler, so that makes us at opposite ends of the transition. Good luck and have many safe miles on your new ride. I have a very nice 2015 Indian Chieftain that will need a new home someday. I'm soon going to check out a new...

    2019 F3-S

    Next Motor I'm not sure how much motor is enough or too much for a Spyder. I once had a 2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring which had 151 foot pounds of torque and something in the neighborhood of 120 horsepower. I don't believe we would ever need that much motor but something in the 1600cc to...

    Highest mileage on ONE Spyder

    Normal Wear & Tear Items I'm glad to hear the Spyders can be so durable. I can imagine there would be normal wear & tear items that would need to be replaced in order to reach such high mileage figures. Things like tires & brakes plus batteries & light bulbs, possibly the final drive belt...

    My next bike

    Electric Unicycle For a lot less than five grand you can get a pedal unicycle and learn to balance it yourself. Probably still top out at 10 mph too.

    Waiting Another Year

    Thanks all. Yeah it's a minor setback as I at least have my 2015 Indian to ride whenever I feel secure enough to do so. Thankfully it's already paid off. I just got the insurance statements on the second surgery today and it will cost me another $4850 on top of the first one. It looks like a...
