• 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.

    Salty Roads

    The old rule of thumb here in Wisconsin, where there are 2 seasons, road construction and salt, one would not ride a motorcycle on the road until after the first serious rainstorm. I always cringe when I see a $30,000 Harley out on the first warm day in April. There are so many nooks and...

    Tool kit location???

    Back in the day when I did my touring on a Norton, my favorite tool roll was the bottom half of the leg of a pair of blue jeans with one end sewn shut. It's better to kneel on than gravel or concrete, and was a rag if you needed one. I once completely disassembled the carb on a sidewalk in...

    My Aux Gas Tank!

    This is what I did on my GL1500 when I was doing Iron Butt challenges. 1 - 3 gallon aluminum tank in each saddlebag. A fuel pump normally used in aircraft. Some electrical switches. Brass Tees. Check valves. Quick disconnects. Electric valve ( to switch from one aux tank to the other) like a...

    Seat belt suggestions needed

    I know of one situation where a guy was giving rides to kids on his motorcycle on a dead end road. A neighbor called the cops. He was charged and convicted of child abuse and will forever be listed as a child abuser. It is illegal as it can be. I believe that in Wisconsin, USA, a passenger...

    Laser Schmaser ?

    Thanks to all for good input and for not beating me up. PinkRosePetal, 3mm toe-in measured at the wheel rim isn't a bad place to start. Front edge of rim to edge of rim 3mm narrower than rear edge of rim to edge of rim and squared with centerline of rear rim ? I live by your rule # 1 and have...

    Laser Schmaser ?

    I have a 2010 RT with 17,000 M. I am prepared to be corrected, so don't hold back. As I understand it, the Spyder front end alignment is for "toe in" only. There is no adjustment for caster or camber. Correct ? If this is correct, I do not understand the big deal about a laser front end...

    Which headset

    Everything that I have read gives both the Sena and the Cardo high marks. I am not impressed with the fact that the Sena is not waterproof. How do people deal with that ?

    Can the RT fit on a certain model truck?

    + 1 on the no backwards. I have a vivid memory of a ride to Sturgis. Saw a motorhome with a wing backwards on a trailer with the windshield flapping like a flag. I do not recall what was keeping it connected.

    Tools for extended traveling

    AMA Motow is available at no cost to AMA members that are on auto renew. You should belong to the AMA anyway. When traveling, I always carry more than one credit card. There can be fraud on your card totally unrelated to anything you have done and your card will be canceled. This can be a...

    1330cc Fans won't shut off 2014 Spyder RT 6

    I have no idea if this will help or not. I have solved problems with my computers often by removing all power for 30 seconds and then repowering. If I had this issue the first thing I would do is disconnect battery, count to 30, and then reconnect battery. Cheap, easy, and worth a shot. Best...

    I know its me but......

    60 years on 2 wheels. flat track racing, Iron Butt challenges. The Spyder felt all wrong to me. You just need more seat time. Ride every chance you get. Short rides, long rides, just more seat time. I now feel like I belong there. You will get there.

    Blue Tooth

    I now know what I have to do for the dongle (Motorcycle Dave). As far as the head sets, I don't ride in a pack. I want to hear my Spyder radio, GPS, talk on my phone, converse with my passenger, and sometimes with one other rider. The sena 10S is said to have a range of about a mile with...
