• 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.

    2025 Pulse and Origin Reveal - did they fail mileage hopes?

    I went to a local shop at the beginning of February. They had the Origin on display, but the Pulse wasn't in yet. I was speaking to the sales person and told them it looked nice, a lot bigger than I expected even with the adventure element. Then, I said this isn't for folks in the city who want...

    HD Trike Lawsuit

    Geesh. That's a sad story. The $ will change things eventually, but they still won't return life. :( On a lighter note... $~37K back then... Spyders didn't cross $30K until after the S2S appeared.

    Tell Me Something Good About Your Spyder Ownership Experience

    Great posts. Thanks folks. Its good to see that some were able to experience wind therapy for the 1st time or as an alternative to 2 wheels, ride with loved ones, feel secure, survive the perils of darting animals, have a reliable machine, deal with a few maintenance issues but not enough to...

    PedalBox and Pedal Commander - what do they do and how do they work?

    So, the issue here is the phrase throttle response vs sensitivity. Hmmm... Overall 2 things can be true/false. My analogy would be this. 2 racers line up who run the exact speed, but 1 starts running at the sound of the gun vs the other who starts running due to a green light, it is more likely...

    Tell Me Something Good About Your Spyder Ownership Experience

    So, I just read through a post about the negatives of Spyder ownership. A lot of responses were mostly contrary. So, that had thinking, what's something good that came out of owning a Spyder/Ryker for you? I'll start: I wanted one since I first saw them hit the market. I never rode 2 wheels...

    2025 Pulse and Origin Reveal - did they fail mileage hopes?

    not ridiculous. Pulse $14K-16K+ all the fees Origin $14.5K 16.5K+ all the fees. Of course, based on different available trims https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/us/en/models/motorcycles/pulse.html

    2025 Pulse and Origin Reveal - did they fail mileage hopes?

    Ford has changed their plans for an EV SUV with 3 rows. One of the biggest turnoffs on EVs other than range is price. The cars, trucks, SUVs are pricey. The affordable options are basically blocked from entering the US b/c they're Chinese made. So, adopting the EV "revolution" isn't easy when...

    2025 Pulse and Origin Reveal - did they fail mileage hopes?

    So, it's a "the end justify the means" type of scenario... Long term lower operational cost and impact, but initial requirements are a punch in the face. Serenity Now :riding: Give me an EV Spyder with at least a 200-mile range with 30 min charging b/t 20-80% and I'll forget everything I just...

    2025 Pulse and Origin Reveal - did they fail mileage hopes?

    The ugly side of EVs or lithium and cobalt for that matter is the impact we don't really hear about because it is pretty much out of sight and out of mind. I don't think there is an easy win based on our lifestyles in the "developed" world. I don't know how much greenhouse gas is emitted during...

    2025 Pulse and Origin Reveal - did they fail mileage hopes?

    Is it just me or did the long-awaited Pulse and Origin fail to meet mileage hopes? I was hoping for a good 200 miles... maybe 150, or way faster charging time. They may need to talk to Elon and get on that supercharger network. 1hr+ charge time to full, from under 20%? They are truly made for...

    Almost had the big one yesterday - pallet fell of a truck into our path!

    A blessing indeed.

    What do you prefer to use for lifting your Spyder/Ryker?

    Just wondering what method people prefer when jacking/lifting their Spyders/Rykers: Ramps, floor jacks, or the Spyder/ATV/Motorcycle lifts?
