• 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.

    Will gloves help?

    Gloves Right on about the grip, :clap:too tight a grip can lead to oversteer :yikes:. Try to relax a bit, obviously you need to maintain throttle position. I wear gloves whenever I am riding, little things fly off the road, and bugs hitting your hands really sting!

    Ever carried a whole pizza home on the Spyder?

    Haulin' Pizza Sounds to me like you will need to get an RS or ST for those Pizza runs. I knew there was another reason why I opted for the GS over the RT when I bought my :spyder2: :roflblack:.

    Biketoberfest

    Biketoberfest 2012 If the weather cooperates, will likely ride up on the 18th. I have a nice 80+ mile ride on US1 from Melbourne. Last year I bought my tee shirt, took some pictures and looked around. Was back in Melbourne before dark. I don't really like mobs and don't drink when I'm driving...

    Should the 2015 Spyder have a bigger engine?

    Spyder Engine If there were a 6000 cc engine in the Spyder, someone would want more. As for me, the 998 is more than sufficient, I can break every speed limit in the United States without too much trouble:doorag:.

    Florida Tag for RT-622 Trailer

    Florida tag You really want the empty weight, because the fee is based on weight. Don't feel too bad about paying each year, we don't have income tax, we don't have personal property tax(which I got hit with in Virginia when stationed there), we don't have annual inspection fees(that my brother...

    hitch

    Hitch on 09 GS SE5 I've been away for a while, but am now back checking the site. I've toyed with the idea of a trailer for my 09 SE5:f_spider: GS, but haven't saved the coins or decided which way to go. I haven't been able to locate that blueknight 911 video :hun:. Checking an earlier thread...

    Running on empty

    Alcohol and Gasoloon Unfortunately, the nut cases at EPA don't seem to care about facts. It is pretty well known that ethanol in gasoline is a waste of what could be good tacos or bourbon. They don't care that the science they used to justify this is garbage. We need to change the government...

    Battery

    Battery on 09 GS I too have a 2009 GS. One of the first adventures I had was an issue with battery going what I thought was dead. It wasn't, still going strong. :clap: The battery is located under the seat about where the passenger foot pegs are. I hope you have your owners manual. It will...

    Camera mount on GS/RS

    There are plenty of ways to mount a camera. Something to consider is how you are going to operate the camera. If you have a remote controller for the camera, just about any place the camera will mount and not get destroyed is fine. Great shots are possible from unusual perspectives. The link...

    The Dragon's No Big Deal

    Tee Shirts I did a web search for "Tail of the Gator" turns out that the Gainesville HOG sells a tee shirt that mocks the tail of the dragon/gator. You can order from their web site. Not sure anyone has copyrighted "Tail of the Gator" :roflblack:

    Doing It Myself

    Added California Scientific Windscreen After much research and penny pinching, I decided to replace the stock wind shield with a taller after market one. I finally decided on a California Scientific. Their website gave very good instructions on determining what height wind shield I might...

    That was fun! Air box check and oil addition.

    This afternoon I rode to my shop where I decided to check my 2009 Spyder GS to see if I was losing oil into the air box. All in all, it was an interesting task. I removed the top cowling, that “Y” shaped piece of Tupperware only has four fasteners, 2 plastic rivets and 2 screws, but getting...

    Owners Poll: RT or RS?

    RS/GS I'll be three score and ten my next birthday, but I refuse to grow up. I sat on a 2010 RT before I sat on my 2009 GS and there was no question in my mind, the sport model was for me. It fits me, and I couldn't be happier. From the crowd at Daytona last Saturday, I seem to be in the...
