• 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.

    MSRP just the start

    personally less than $100.00 for 1/2 cover & tank bag. But I will admit that it has a givi windshield & trunk thanks to a couple of birthdays that have passed since I got the spyder. Except for the windshield I like my stock spyder, i mostly added the rear trunk becuase it has a passenger...

    How Many years of street riding experience do you have?

    let's see almost 7 years now. 2 1/2 of them on my spyder with far more mileage than I ever had on either of the two wheelers I had/have.

    Owners Poll: RT or RS?

    Love my GS. Tried sitting on RT couple of times & just kept wondering who needs to carry that much stuff with them? Although to be fair, my 70+ year old Mother thinks the RTs are cool :D

    New Luggage for my RS

    Great bag! I had it on the two wheeler & it made the jump to the spyder easily. You'll be amazed how much stuff you can put in it. So far no water issues in the rain even without using the rain cover. Hope it works well for you.

    TRike MSF Class to get license

    I'd heard that IL was going to have a 3 wheel only lisc, good to know. I took the MSF several years ago to get my M lisc but I have several friends that don't want anything to do with 2 wheelers even to get a lisc. I also found a trike/sidecar class in Champaign this summer. It sounds like a...

    Good idea. I'm in Springfield & 72 is how we usually get to the river road. Thanks! Or maybe i'll get the chance to connect with some other riders passing through central Il.

    Spyderfest 2011 Info and check-in

    i'm (hopefully) in. Just made reservations at the best western. Now I just have to figure out how to get to Cuba & avoid St Louis en route or at least avoid St Louis during rush hours. It's bad enough in a car but on spyder :yikes:
