• 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.

    Spyder Blowed Up

    Well.... Someone was kind enough to total out a demo bike (the demo truck is in the local dealer's parking lot this week :D) and I'm getting the motor out of that bike, to get home. The word is the guy was fine, but the Spyder is a write off. This isn't the perfect scenario by any means, but at...

    Oh NOes - Oil light on and off, and stall at speed.

    No....no you don't.

    Spyder Blowed Up

    Thanks Tom. We're doing all the things we set out to do here in Rapid City, South Dakota. :opps: Except we're doing them two up on my Triumph rather than the wife riding her own. The Spyder is still under warranty, so no worries about that costing us anything, but the trip is on us. Allstate...

    Spyder Blowed Up

    Spyder developed the death knock about 100 miles east of Rapid City and we're stuck. Long story short...oil light flickered and apparently the bike went into limp home. Pulled over to check the oil level and it was good, so we tried it again....ran fine, no light, no limp home. Just as we're...

    juice box is the culprit, according to BRP...

    That is a piece of BRP's official stance, taken out of context giving a false impression of the statement as a whole. The testing BRP did before releasing the update had to have centered around stock bikes. They have a database of knowledge based on the one solid scenario they could...

    Steering Update and Fuel Mileage

    Every fill up of every vehicle I've owned...forever...I've usually done the mental calculation of that tanks mileage (down to at least one decimal place) before I'm even back in the seat. Just the way I am. All the bills in my wallet are facing the same way, in sequential order with no folded...

    Steering Update and Fuel Mileage

    We'll be running about eight tankfulls through the Spyder ths weekend...all highway. Since the update the bike does seem to be getting better mileage and believe me that will be a change on our trip out west this year. Last year we were stopping every 160 miles or so. Hoog....credible :D

    Colorado or Black Hills?

    Wife and I are leaving for the Black Hills area this Saturday. Swung through there on the way home from Utah last year, just to get a taste of the place and we are mucho looking forward to spending 5 days exploring. Here's the SO cruzing through the Badlands...

    BRP reply re surging

    MotoGirl and I are leaving for a ~4500 mile trip a week from today. Last year's trip to Utah had the GPS go bad, leading to a few long days, but we did not get stranded. I'd like to hope this thing sorts itself out somewhere between Orlando and Rapid City...

    BRP reply re surging

    Jack, I musta been in there right after you... The new mapping has obviously affected more than "some" bikes and I would bet BRP comes out with another software load soon. This stuff isn't rocket science fer crissakes. I put the factory off road pipe on both of my Triumphs and had the dealer...
