• 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.

    Great Easter afternoon ride.

    No doubt there! I swear these "reverse trikes" (lol) were made for the winding back country roads. Truly a wonderful experience! Cheers!

    2015 Can-Am Spyder Roadster Spied!

    Looks to me that the seating position is considerably lower. Better center of gravity means much better handling. With the added power and if the seating/leg position allows for aggressive cornering, I bet that thing would just "RAIL". Would love to ride one to see if the foot/leg position is a...

    Introducing the 2015 Can-Am Spyder F3!

    So true! Looks like I wouldn't be hang doggin' it in the twisties.

    Introducing the 2015 Can-Am Spyder F3!

    That thing is muscular looking! The only thing that doesn't seem to fit with me is the handlebar tubing. Maybe a trapezoidal tube handlebar riser powdercoated black would be nice and fit the chiseled angles of the rest of the machine. A single rectangular box arm to hold the rear fender would be...

    Brake pads change

    Easy to do if you've done brakes on a car. Just be very careful with the clips that hold the brake pads. They break very easily. I had to make a new clip out of a spring I had in the tool box because I was a bobo and broke one.

    Pros & Cons of higher or lower tire pressure on RSS

    The Nitto is the NT450. Was pretty cheap. Had it mounted and balanced by a local MC shop. They are a dynamite shop that specializes in high end super bikes. Didn't trust the dealer to do it. You'll like it I'm sure. Great grip and long wear.

    Pros & Cons of higher or lower tire pressure on RSS

    Burned the factory rear tire out in under 4K miles(no hole shots. Just aggressive cornering). Went to a Nitto on the rear. 15000 plus miles with only a few thousand to go. I found the Nitto wore in the center inflated to canam's recommended specs. The Nitto is more of a car tire and only run 17...

    What I do when I'm not riding!

    Lake Bomoseen VT. The Wave is the ultimate "solo" cat. The "big" air machine. 20-30's and they really crank. To be honest, way more of an adrenaline rush than any spyder or sled. When it takes off it's like mashing the accelerator on a muscle car. They are so much fun I can't stand it. But, ya...

    What I do when I'm not riding!

    Water tem-50 degrees Air temp-45 degrees Snowing when I came in. Perfect day except for my ankle being swollen as big as a baseball. Heading back out on Thursday. Supposed to blow 15-25 with gusts to 30. Bring it! Hobie's Rock!

    New EBC Rotors and Pads! NICE!

    Take a spring off of one of the pads without breaking it. Go to a hardware store with it and by a similar diameter, long coil spring. Take 2 needle nose pliers and make one out of the spring you bought. Take your time and keep you bends as few as possible. I did it in about 5 minutes. Keep the...

    New EBC Rotors and Pads! NICE!

    Had badly warped rotors on the front of my RS. Ordered a set of EBC's and got the pads from BajaRon. Would have ordered everything from him but wasn't aware of him carrying that stuff until I did some more searching on here. Took it out for a run this afternoon and it's beautiful. Effortless...
