• 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.

    Shipped my new Spyder from Mo to California...

    No it wasn't crated, just strapped down really good. I only know and am answering for Tony because I watched them load it and strap it down :)

    Shipped my new Spyder from Mo to California...

    Hey Tony. Sorry again to hear about this shipping fiasco. A full month from pick up to delivery really seems excessive to me even if it had to go halfway across the country. I am sure they have done it in the past but I know based on this situation I would be leary to ship a bike with them for a...

    Anyone have pictures of Allot Orange with a wrap?

    You can. This is what I used to protect the custom paint on my ryde. http://www.xpel.com/ It's been on for more than 2 years now and is still holding up really well.

    Need advice on shipping my spyder...

    Now that is indeed nice!! :thumbup: Would save both me and Tony the hassle of trying to find a place around us that has dock ramps or such. Thanks cohoff for giving Tony the heads up about that shipping company. And yes it is a very big plus that their drivers are riders as well.

    Need advice on shipping my spyder...

    Just a lot of time with my son :) We are actually into a new hobby as of late. Short course RC racing. He loves it and truth be told so do I! I'm sure in a few years when he hits his teenage years and wants nothing to do with mom and dad I'll be in the market again for another spyder. Just...

    Need advice on shipping my spyder...

    Can't say I blame you and yes, your peace of mind knowing they are familiar with spyders is worth a little more than what the other guy was going to charge you. All the same though I will be keeping an eye on them when they load it and strap it down. I just hope they have a way of getting the...

    Need advice on shipping my spyder...

    Hey Tony. I will do my best to make sure that whoever you use that your new to you spyder is at least strapped down right and such. When you say you found someone who will trailer it, I take it you mean on an open trailer as in it will be uncovered? From reading around here in the past I do know...

    5 Year Extended Warranty I just bought. Good Deal!!

    Do you mean any Can-Am dealer? Not all motorcycle shops have access to BUDS which it seems is almost always needed for diagnostics and repairs.

    Reggy at TricLed....his true identity.

    I know there are already a few threads singing the praises of Reggy so I won't clog up the site with another one and just piggyback here. Long story short a few of the LEDs on one of my tricRings went out. Emailed Reggy asking if they can be fixed or should I just buy another set and before too...

    HID install now vss fault

    This was my exact problem when I first tried HIDs. First I used the CD HIDs then I tried the XenonDepot ones and both sets did not like my Spyder at all. Between both sets I was left with a no start issue countless times and had to call for a flatbed twice. Finally bit the bullet and got the BRP...

    What's your Spyder's Top Speed?

    I tested mine out last year (08 GS SM5) and best I can remember I got it up to around 117mph. At the time I had the sport windshield on so a little lower than what came stock and I was practically laying on the center Y panel with my chin very close to the bars so as close as you can get to a...

    Storage Hunters

    I believe it was shot in CA. I watch TV mainly to relax and for entertainment. I don't care whether these kind of shows are real or staged. If I wanted to analyze every part of it I would much rather spend the effort doing that at work where I get paid for it. To me it's entertainment, so I...

    Storage Hunters

    I watch the show every now and then and on last night's new show one of the storage units that got auctioned off had a silver RS in it. It was on a jack with the front wheels off. Wheels got put on and the guy rode it right out of the storage unit. Really hope it wasn't a member here who lost...
