• 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.

    I wonder where the HD riders are going?

    OLD RIDERS Our group, the rusty spokes, are now almost a 3 wheelers. Alot of Harley trikes, Can Am Spyders, and Gold Wing. When the legs start giving out, a choice has to be made, either quit biking or go for the 3 wheelers. Only a few left of the 2 wheelers but I bet next year, they will go...

    WISCONSIN MOTORCYCLE MEMORIAL

    Yesterday, the Rusty Spokes (10 of us) made the special trip up to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The purpose was to visit this holy ground devoted to our sisters and brothers. It was a moving sight to see this beautiful site located out in the peaceful scenic surroundings of Door County.

    Parking

    PARKING When we are on a group ride and park, we back to the curb and leave enough safe space for another bike to safely park next door. It is a very orderly procedure and never had any problems.

    Newbie with questions on what model to buy

    Well said! I agree with you. Best thing to do is to test drive the various models to see which one would be the most comfortable and meets your needs. I am 74 and last year I picked up a very low mileage 13 RTL. This model has all the whistles that come with it and, of course, there are...

    How smooth are spyders

    I agree with you A friend of mine bought a used RTL and the ride was not right. He took it in for a laser alignment and it worked wonders. Also, he had the front 2 wheels balanced. Says it rides like a new bike. My 13 RTL rides great and no problems with the suspension or alignment. The...

    Does ECO Mode do anything besides indicate shift points?

    FRUNK BUTTON What is the real reason for the frunk button. I have a 13 RTL and when I had the recall for the vents put on, I think the shop de-activated it. Is there a way of re-activating the button switch? Thanks, and happy riding!

    I enjoy my Spyder

    GAS MILEAGE Yep, I agree with you. Who cares about the gas mileage when the real reason is riding for fun and being with guys on the ride. A person only lives once on this earth and should enjoy every minute of it especially when you are retired. Keep smoking the tires!

    Riding in the rain ..what's the trick

    WET WINDSHIELD I use the brand Yamaha windshield polish. It goes on really easy and buffs off just as well using an old bath towel. In the rain, the water just beads off. A caution of warning on using RainX on your windshield. Previous threads cautions that it will effect the coating on the...
