• 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.

    Weight Distribution/Trailering an RS

    I am sure this addressed somewhere in the owners manual, but I know someone here can answer this question sooner that I can find it in the manual. We want to trailer my Spyder to Georgia and then ride the Florida coastline. What is the weight distribution on a Spyder? Is it heavier toward the...

    2009 Spyder The Dealer wants to buy back, interesting

    My dealer did the same thing... ...I purchased my 2008 RS used in 2010. Early this year, I got a letter from the dealer offering to buy my Spyder back, claiming there is a shortage of used Sypers. I didn't go in to the dealer because I know I would have been too tempted to "trade up". I...

    Saddebags...and passenger seat bags

    Gran Tour Bag I bought the Gran Tour Bag from Custom Dynamics. Its a pretty good size, well made and if you are taller than me and can sit further back from the handlebars (I'm only 5'1") it makes a pretty good driver backrest as well. It cost less than $200 and I had it within three days of...

    Bought my 2008 used... ...two summers ago. It is an RS silver and black. It had just under 1,200 miles on it and I paid $14,000 for it. I don't think the one you are lookong to buy is underpriced. I have had NO regrets with mine. I bought it from a dealer that is about 90 minutes away from...

    Stripe ideas

    Let it happen... ...I took my Spyder to Gary Glenn, a local artist, who has a very good reputuation. He has actually painted cars for Hollywood movies. He had never done any work on a Spyder before. I selected the color (a burgundy red) for my black and silver 2008 GS and told him to do what...

    Missing---Joke Forum, so I'll just start a thread.

    Public School Funding... ...why do they keep cutting funds for public education? Don't know...but I do know that kids are getting dumber every year. Was sitting on my Spyder outside a 7-11 near the campus of Michigan State University. One of "America's future" walked out, looked at my Spyder...

    Gas Price Survey

    Here in central Michigan... ...gas has been at 3.99 a gallon for regular unleaded for the past month. Here in Lansing, the home of state government, we find the price usually jumps about 20 cents a gallon on state pay days (but there is no "price fixing".) Figure we'll be looking at close to...

    In a similar vein... ...I pulled up to the window at a McDonald's drive through in another state. The teenager behind the window told me the charge was $6.48. I asked her "Do you take out of state money?" She left to go ask the manager.

    True Story.... ...there was a Taco Bell in the small town where I worked and my co-workers and I would go there about once a month. The guy behind the cash register was affectionately referred to as the "change Nazi" because no matter how big your tab was, if you handed him bill larger than a...

    newbie with RPM question

    Try an Air Hawk cushion... ...they are a LOT cheaper than a new seat. I got mine today, rode 200+ miles and didn't have a sore bottom at all. They also offer a 60 day triakl period, so if she doesn't like it, she can send it back for a full refund. Mine cost less than $200 and shipping was...
