• 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.

    RT-622 After the Accident

    So, last year on the way home from Spyderfest, I was in an accident on my 2012 RT pulling a 2010 RT-622 that I had purchased used earlier in the season. I was hit from the side on the right front wheel of my Spyder. It did tons of damage to bodies and bikes, and all that is now healed (for the...

    It's only money, Ben! And if you use plastic, it isn't even that! 😜

    Sena 20S

    I had to replace my 20S when the case fell apart, too. Fortunately, the distributor I bought it from swapped it out, no problem. I just put the new one on my helmet yesterday, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Deke

    Where did you get your "Handle"?

    I'm a Catholic Deacon, and so Deke seemed like a natural. It sounds tougher than Sean. Deke

    Bumpskid

    Not being the wrench-turning type, I had my local dealer install the Bump Skid with LEDs from SpyderPops, and BajaRon's Sway Bar, on my 2015 RT-S Special Series today. She handles like a dream now! When I see a twistie, I hit the gas, not the brake, and it absolutely sticks the corner...

    Stubby Windscreen 2015 RT-S Special Series

    I also have a 2015 RT-S Special Series. I'm about 6'2", and stayed with the stock short windshield. There is definitely a bit more wind, but it isn't as bad as I might have thought. I haven't had it out in rain, yet, so not sure about the protection. Deke

    Well, that's off my shoulders.

    I had a chance to sit on one, and actually take it for a spin. It was fun, but it definitely doesn't fit our riding style either. I guess we'll just have to stick with our 2015 RT-S Special Series. LOL!

    Serious Question about Summer Riding

    I never thought of Iowa as a leader in helmet-hydration technology, but we've got these things here called straws. I just slide it up under my full-face helmet and take a sip. I even have the chin mesh on my helmet, and it is no problem at all. A long straw like in a water bottle works better...

    Install time

    Billet Links Needed? I had the dealer look up the BRP estimated time for replacing a sway bar, and it was 1/2 hour. I saw it in the book myself. I'm planning on getting the Bajaron sway bar for my 2015 RT-S Special Series, but would like to understand more about the billet links. I had the...

    Trailer painted

    I have a white 2010 RT-622, and looking to have it painted to match my 2015 RT-S Special Series (red/black). I'd entertain a wrap, but thinking that painting might be the best approach. Deke

    WHO WILL BE AT SPYDERFEST 2015 AND WHAT CITIES/COUNTRIES WILL BE REPRESENTED

    See Joe! Iowa is already falling behind. I think SpyderLady didn't like having MO behind IA, so she had to republish the results. ;) Deke

    WHO WILL BE AT SPYDERFEST 2015 AND WHAT CITIES/COUNTRIES WILL BE REPRESENTED

    You need to brush up on your state abbreviations, Joe! I'm proud to say that is Iowa (IA) in second place, with no registrations from Indiana (IN)! Deke

    What was your Spyder Mileage for 2014 - now for 2023???

    I had about 4000 miles in 2014 on my 2012 RT. It would have been a whole lot more, but we were in an accident returning home from Spyderfest, and didn't ride for 4 1/2 months. Got the Spyder back, and rode 300+ miles in the first 48 hours. Rode a few thousand miles, then traded it in on a...
