• 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.

    CB problem-PTT switch?

    I have a 2014 RTS and have used the CB for several years. Now when transmitting, all the other rider hears is static. Reception is great. Can you get just the new switch or do you have to buy the whole cluster block? I suppose it could be just a bad cable or something of that kind. Thanks in...

    Cleaning PTT switch

    My PTT switch seems to be having problems. My riding companions say it is cutting out or breakin up. It seems to work better if I use a "death grip" and hold. I know that some Goldwing riders have a similar problem and can get into the switch with contact cleaner. Has anyone done this on the...

    My Spyder played a part in receiving humbling recognition

    A great project! I have enjoyed my trips in Idaho and read many of the signs. We have a few things in common. I too have a 2014 RTS (same color) but don't have as many farkles. I was born on a farm about 3 miles from Parma and lived there during WW2. I now live near La Grande OR but ride and...

    Forums moving around, you're not seeing things....

    I need to change my e-mail address. The new is <[email protected]>. I received a pm that said the old address was invalid--which it is. I don't see where or how to change it. DickyRichard

    Spyder RT with Leesure Tent pictures?

    Leesure Lite trailer I have one of these trailers that I pull with a 2014 RTS. The storage is limited as compared with some of the other brands but it is enough for me as I am almost always ryding single. My wife doesn't care for camping . One thing you need to remember is that the tongue...

    RIDING A SPYDER RT MIGHT BE THE SAFEST BIKE MADE

    hydroplaning While returning from a camp-out, it had been raining and I was in a construction zone. The freeway was closed down to a single lane with a concrete barrier on one side and a steel one on the other. I hit a large puddle and was suddenly looking at the steel barrier just feet away...

    New sport...tire ski jumping

    Eastern Oregon logging road This reminds me of guys rolling old tires down a mountain near where I lived back in the 1950s. When the road was built, many rocks rolled down into the farm fields at the bottom of the mountain. It tore out a lot of fence. Then local guys thought it would be fun...

    Where are you in Oregon???

    Cove OR (near La Grande) I've been riding for over 50 years. I felt the need for three wheels as the bikes got too heavy to pick up and I wanted to pull a trailer for camping. I have a 2014 RTS (cognac) and love it. Dick

    My Barn Find......

    PC 800 That is a great bike! I rode one for 12 years (a 1995 model). All it took was tires, batteries, oil and spark plugs. The engine/ drive train never gave a seconds problem in the whole time. I wonder where it is now?

    antenna help

    prayers answered Thanks to Steve I was able to get the speaker/armrest/antenna pod opened and the new J & M antenna installed. The instructions that came with the new antenna required a magic wand and some secret words to complete the task. I said some words but they were not the correct...

    antenna help

    I am putting a J & M CB antenna on my 2014 RTS. How do you get the speaker/armrest/antenna pod open to get the old antenna out and put the new one in? I have removed all the screws that I can find and cannot figure out how to continue. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Going to a...

    Official 2016 Spyderlovers Heart of Washington June 10th, 11th, 12th.

    Foreigners allowed? Do you allow aliens such as Oregonians to attend? I live in N E Oregon and have few Spyder ryders in my area. I am reduced to Goldwingers (mostly on trikes) for riding companions. Actually, they are very nice and some of them ride faster than I like. I always like to...

    Just a little more storage on an RT..??

    Pak-it rak I have a pak-it rak that I would sell. I have gone to a folding camper trailer and no longer use the rak. One problem with this type of rack is the bouncing of the swing arm. I had the mounting hardware bend. The company sent a new heavier one to me free. I have not used it so...

    Oregon

    There is more to Oregon than the coast If you want to see a more right side of Oregon, go to the cascades and then into Eastern Oregon (about 2/3) of the state. We don't call ourselves weird as the Portlanders do, we are independent thinkers and maybe a bit strange. Anyway, there is a great...

    cheap spyder on ebay

    Spyder scammer This sounds very much like a scammer I encountered a few months ago. That one said he worked on an oil rig in the gulf and couldn't ride it much. It ended up that the spyder was in storage in Louisiana and you couldn't see it or try it out before you had it shipped to you...
