• 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.

    What Communication devices do you use between rider/pillion & other riders in your group?

    We LOVE our Cardo Freecom 4+. Those ear speakers by audio giant JBL is clear as a bell and is a game-changer.

    How do you mange riding a Spyder and a motorcycle?

    No issues switching back and forth for me. It's really nice having choices, depending on my mood.

    I’m getting frustrated with the belt vibration - any ideas to help?

    I lowered my belt tension from the factory 210 lbs (measured on the ground) to about 150-160 with the Krikit gauge. I also installed the high-quality Lamonster IPS Belt Tensioner. I used to have such a wicked vibration above 65 mph. After lowering the belt tension and installing the...

    Twenty-three years ago, I was on an x-ray travel assignment in Anchorage, AK. Early that morning, I woke up and decided to go to the basement of my apartment complex to do some laundry. The apartment manager came down to collect some coins in the washers and dryers, and asked me "Could you...

    Where did you get your "Handle"?

    Shameless bump. :doorag::dg1:

    Had to wear Gloves for Can Am riding course - Do you wear gloves? Why? Or why not?

    Yup. I use those Mechanix gloves that're light. When it's colder, I use padded gauntlet-style gloves. Besides providing an extra layer of protection, I mainly use them to avoid being sunburned Been riding with gloves for as long as I can remember. I feel naked without them. IMHO, you'd be a...

    So many complaints about the Spyders. Anyone with no problems?

    I refuse to answer this question for fear of jinxing myself .... ;) ;)

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    You should've ridden my '18 RTL with the Baja Ron swaybar. Rock steady and a lot more pleasant to ride. You would've easily changed your mind. I'd have your wife ride and you stay in the back to enjoy the scenery. Get a used '20 RTL and newer. Let her have her moment in the sun, LOL.

    Another Oil Thread (sorry!) - Has anyone tried using Mobil 1 10W40?

    I run full-synthetic MOBIL 1 made for motorcycles on my Harley. For my Spyder, I run the semi-synthetic Castrol Actevo made for motorcycles. I believe that oils SPECIFICALLY made for motorcycles are slightly better than oils made for cars, but YMMV. As long as you don't use Crisco, you're...

    DID Make My Mind up! - Big D's Mighty Red Baron has Arrived!

    Unless you're the type who finds extreme joy in really leaning in the turns and CANNOT live on a machine that cannot do it, you'll be very unhappy with a Spyder. Other than that, they are fun and a blast to ride, and WAY safer. Good luck !! It WILL definitely extend your riding career...

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

    This happened to me a few years ago. Lucky for me, I was driving my full-size Silverado instead of riding my Spyder or bike: I'm haulen ass up Pyramid Highway with my pickup doing about 70, and a small couch from a truck ahead of me decides this is about the right time and place to fall off. I...

    23) Lowering belt tension to reduce vibration at highway speeds (over 65 mph) Difficulty Level - 2.0 Tips - Buy an accurate belt tension gauge like a Krikit. Watch various YouTube vids, because there are A LOT of good ones out there. When tightening the axle nut, make sure the whole axle...

    Dipping my big toe in to check the water

    IMHO, riding a Spyder is WAY easier than riding a 2-wheeled bike. The amount of timing and coordination to upshift or downshift and all the while maintaining balance isn't EVEN comparable. If you have ever ridden a quad or a waverunner, it's very similar (although the waverunner requires more...

    The HMC filter is getting hard to find!?! On back-order & still waiting.. Thanks BRP!

    Thanks for the heads-up, Lew. Went on www.lamonstergarage.com and quickly ordered one. Hopefully, one will be available by the time I need it (which will be another 15,000 miles or so). Dang. I need to ride more often, lol.
