• 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.

    From Harley to Spyder RT Limited

    Well don't reckon I'll be trading my Victory Vegas for a Spyder but after putting 5000 miles on a friends 2010 RT I certainly could have a Spyder alongside the Vic. Best of both worlds!

    Burnt leg!

    No you didn't, my apologies, there were a couple of other people trying to tell me the exhaust didn't run alongside the left leg and I sort of bundled you all into a bunch of naysayers who just wanted to dispute the facts. More will be revealed when I get the Spyder back.

    Burnt leg!

    Plain to see your problem, don't know right from left. Your pic shows the left side of the bike The exhaust header on the left side, The belt drive on the left side. Now which leg goes on that side of the bike?...... The left leg of course! By the way. No exhaust leak.

    Burnt leg!

    You all know where it is hey! Now my bull**** meters off the Richter! Telling me the exhaust is on the right and not the left. You probably pay someone to service your Spyder and you wouldn't have a clue.

    Burnt leg!

    Yeah well so do I, I've chipped him on a few occasions for riding in beach gear, maybe, just maybe this latest incident will educate him. oh and when I do the next oil change on it I'll show you all where the exhaust header pipe runs, as opposed to the muffler on the right hand side.

    Burnt leg!

    Just ran this thread by the missus, who is familiar with my mate, and who has also been on the back of the Spyder a lot of the time that I was riding it. She's of the opinion his nerve pain medication plus the ambient and radiated heat from the sun would have dulled his sensation in his leg...

    Tommo sustained 4th degree burns and is currently recovering after a skin graft in Brisbane Hospital. Inside of left leg where it touches the plastic side panel that had the exhaust running behind it. Previous owner heat wrapped the exhaust but it was a very hot day and riding in the sun with...

    A wild ride!

    Yeah thanks mate, that's waaaayyyy back, thanks to advice from here I just started riding it like any other bike . I had to give it back to the owner anyway (it's his bike, he paid for it after all) much as I've grown to love riding it. With Tommo's latest burn injury and resultant skin graft I...

    A wild ride!

    Whys that Buzzard? I did a search after posting, a search on heat problems and there seems to be some concern on the earlier models and talk of fans and heat deflectors. Tommo's Spyder had heat wrap already on the exhaust and while I was riding it, some 8000kms in 3 months I found my leg got...

    A wild ride!

    Ok well that explains Tommo's flat battery! Got it jump started and going again but..... Now he's back riding his Spyder I'm trying to get him out of suburbia to he can really get the hang of it and the buzz of riding it. We go for a run on a very hot day out to Nimbin, he turns up at my place...
