• 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.

    love this forum !!!

    My new 2015 F3s has the blue ridge windshield and like most I find it sadly lacking. Priced all the after market and just no way I can afford any I found. Was reading all the F3 section from page 75 backwards and found many posts on the x-screen add on and everyone seems to really like it. Just...

    Rambling thread...1ST self oil change...My new F3s WILL outrun my wife's STL :-)

    My first self oil change, 2014 STL. Took about 4 hours but after learning next one should be bout 45 mins. Panel removal was easy till the bottom one; Spyder was on the floor, no ramps. Took forever to figure out how to remove that panel. Engine oil filter screws were a "B" to get at. See the...

    Need to decide tonite...Comments plz

    thanks all At 63 I'm thinking the Triumph, while a pure joy on short trips and city traffic was maybe my last grasp at holding on to that elusive thing called youth :-). Going in an hour to "get her done ". Back to a two Spyder family again. Silver or grey ( wife tells me I'm color blind )...

    Need to decide tonite...Comments plz

    Thanks Ann Yep, dealer has a 2016 F3t that he has a good price on but I can't see paying for the small hard bags on it when a set of cortecs with a tail bag on the rear seat will hold more for bout $300

    Got rid of my RSS couple months ago and bought a Triumph street twin...a joy to ride and great to be on two wheels again BUT. Wife and I did a 700 mile trip on her ST last weekend two up. Half way I knew the triumph could never be a long range bike for me. Enter a 2015 F3s with 1900 miles ( was...

    Hard steering 2015 STL

    Wife and I took a 700 mile round trip this weekend, her to walk and me to motorcycle crew the Santa Barbara Avon Breast cancer walk. The Spyder did great at sustained 80 and 85 mph with one exception...very hard steering. On the way down the tires were way under inflated but on the way back both...

    Finally rode the F3 and slingshot

    Sprint motorcycles in San Jose demo rides yesterday. Rode ( drove? ) the slingshot, my take is it would be a blast on a lonely mountain road or closed course but I would not like it getting there. No forward visibility in traffic at all and the drive train is incredibly noisy to me. It was new...
