• 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 do you wear when you ride your Spyder?

    I'm a fat guy from Wisconsin and just got back from a road trip to Lake Tahoe. 2 years ago did Mexico in August. In addition to the gear mentioned, I have found that a cooling vest under the mesh works wonders. The Mexico trip was over 100 degrees each day and we did the 3750 miles in 8 days...

    About Harley Dealers...

    Capital City HD Since you are in Milwaukee, you may want to visit, or at least call, Capital City HD in Madison. Ask for Kerry. They move a lot of bikes and do deal. They had a promo recently where they would sell used for whatever they had in it. I have bought 2 Ultras there and the last...

    mesh jacket

    Mesh Jackets I have both a FirstGear mesh jacket and a Tourmaster Flex jacket. I like the flex for road trips because it goes from very warm (shell on and liner in) to very cool (liner out and shell off) easily. Carrying the shell and liner takes less space than carrying multiple jackets...

    Rain Gear Again!

    Waterproof boots I have been using boots from Cruiserworks for about 3 years now. Have ridden days on end in the pouring rain and they have yet to let water in. Just bought a pair last summer for my wife to use riding her Spyder. They are not cheap but I find them VERY comfortable and so far...

    Looking for a Mesh Jacket

    I have to put in my vote for Tour Master. Particularly the Flex2. Mesh with a zip on outer shell and a zip in liner. Goes from cold weather to hot and takes less room than carrying multiple jackets. My wife has "tested" a standard Tour Master shall we say. It was in great shape still when...

    Unfortunately I'd have to have a real name change too. I've never won the lottery either.

    Cold Weather Riding - Helmet Fogging

    I wear a HJC Symax II helmet. First, the helmet vents themselves are far batter than any of my previous HJC full coverage and flip up helmets. I also use anti fogging spray. You have to put on several applications but it generally works. I just returned from a weekend trip and on Sunday, it...

    Riding Gear?

    My son was in a cycle accident 4 years ago but had on his full coverage helmet and armored jacket. He broadsided a Toyota Rav that ran a stop sign. Put his head through the side of the car, fist through the window, got up and walked away. Motorcycle cracked in two and the helmet cracked at the...

    Cheese Heads

    I'm waiting too. We are #22 at the dealer and he just received 5,6,7&8. Besides, it may be warm but my driveway is solid ice still and I have roads that are still ice.

    Turn Signals

    First let me plead a little ignorance since I am in the group that is still awaiting our Spyder. So I am speaking out of theory rather than having the ability to compare. I have a BMW R1200C as well as a Harley. I understand about the Harley adapter to alter the turn signal in to running/brake...

    XM mounted

    Do you swap your headphones between your XM and the Lowrance for MP3s or do you have them coupled together somehow? Thanks.

    Spyder Meeting in or around Maggie Valley after March?

    I'm in. Now if the Spyder just shows this spring I'll be all set (although we still have 3 other bikes if not).

    Spyder Meeting in or around Maggie Valley after March?

    Since most of the initial batch of bikes is to be delivered by the end of May, I would think June at the earliest would make the most sense. Some of us are very interested but won't have our toys until May. Selfish I know. Freezing in Wisconsin

    Video- Spyder meets the Dragon

    I live in Wisconsin where we can choose. I chose to wear one so my son would get the idea that it was a good idea. When he was old enough an bought his own bike, he actually wore one. When the Toyota RAV ran the stop sign and my son's head went through the passenger's window, he was glad he had...

    LEDs made the limp mode message appear

    On many "smart" cycles, the computer monitors the lights for burned out bubs. To beat the system, you usually need to add a load equlizer. There are 2 types. One just adds resistance to offset the LEDs but these heat up. There is another type that is solid state and tricks the computer. Here is...

    When did you order your Spyder?

    Ordered ours 9/13. Were told we were the 21st sold there and wouldn't see ours until May. It doesn't really matter since I didn't see a plow in the accessory catalog. :joke:
