• 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.

    Front fender tip lights

    Sounds like an excellent idea. I will try it. At night the white lights are near the review mirror and sometimes gives me the impression that there is a cycle behind me. DUH

    Spyder Stock Muffler

    I took my Spyder to the carwash this am and found that the muffler will not stand up to the a pressure wash. The black paint pealed off to reveal stainless steel. So if you like black be very carefull washing the muffler. I am simply going to remove the black and polish the stainless.

    Hand Brake

    My original post is a warning about emergency situations. In riding the Spyder all you have is the foot brake, but when you get in an emergency situation 40 years of riding will kick in and most of us will reach for the hand brake. Under normal conditions there is no problem - one has time to...

    Hand Brake

    I have rode the Spyder over 1,600 miles and felt pretty safe - but yesterday I suffered a relapse and like an old motorcycle rider tried to use the hand brake at a stop sign. My luck held out as there were no cars or other vehicles that could hit me. But it sure was a strange feeling to grab...
