• 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.

    2014 Can Am Spyder RT & 1999 CSC Escapade Trailer - need wiring HELP!

    I'm kinda afraid that you may be right about the old plug not working. A friend says I should check it with a voltmeter. Although I bought the trailer harness, I'm hoping that I don't have to tear the whole bike apart to install it. I'm new to Spyders and not too comfortable removing and...

    2014 Can Am Spyder RT & 1999 CSC Escapade Trailer - need wiring HELP!

    Last year I bought the Spyder. This year I bought the trailer. Of course, they aren't wired with matching plugs. I talked to a local trailer shop, and the guy recommended that I get the Show Chrome Plug n Play wiring harness to replace the trailer wiring on the bike. I bought one ... it doesn't...

    Migrating From 2 Wheels To 3 Wheels

    I'll be looking into the "Learn to ride" courses. I learned to ride two wheels with Pennsylvania's MSF program, and don't regret it -- or the advanced courses I've taken since.

    Migrating From 2 Wheels To 3 Wheels

    Hey, Lew! Went on a 250 mile ride yesterday with my friends. I practiced your knee and elbow tips, and found that it really did help with my stability through curves. Whether right or wrong, I find I am smoother with a little "pull" of the bar - rather than a "push" on the other side...at...

    Migrating From 2 Wheels To 3 Wheels

    Hello again! Today I did it! I bought a 2014 Spyder RT Limited. The ride home from Pittsburgh, PA took about an hour and a half. Of course, there was city driving...then highway...then (closer to home) was slower two-lane "state roads." At no time did I feel uncomfortable riding it. This...

    Migrating From 2 Wheels To 3 Wheels

    The stability IS a wonderful feeling. On the 'Wing, I'm tall enough to get one foot flat on the ground...the other one is tip-toe only. Add a piece of gravel and things quickly get exciting! On my "long test drive," I never felt compelled to put my feet down, but I did reach for the brake and...

    Migrating From 2 Wheels To 3 Wheels

    Thanks! I really loved the Spyder on gravel parking lots! :-) I guess maybe it's true: You can get used to hanging...if you hang long enough! Since my Gold Wing is already 26/27 years old, I can't see the putting a trike kit on it. I considered getting the "Landing Gear" installed but a friend...

    Migrating From 2 Wheels To 3 Wheels

    Hello, Spyder Lovers! I am thinking of getting a Spyder. It's time for me to get that third wheel, but I have questions... Recently I drove a friend's Spyder for about 250 miles. Although it wasn't what I am accustomed to (I have a 1993 Honda Gold Wing), it was still a LOT of fun. Driving...
