• 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.

    Went To Buc-ee's in Atlanta!

    I never have been to a Buc-ee's. Heard a lot about them - all good. Have driven by the Buc-ee's around New Braunfels, TX on I-35 several times but never had time to stop. They are planning on building one on my side of the Texas Hill Country down by Boerne off of I-10 & 87. It was announced...

    How about heated gear - what's your favorite? Any other suggestions?

    I never used to wear heated gear. It was always too expensive it seemed when I could just bundle up and peel off later. However, as time rolls on it seems I don’t tolerate the cold well at all. I am an official coldy-cat now. Everybody I am now riding with has heated gear. For me it was...

    Looks like it's time to give up the ride - thoughts fm others who've faced this?

    Saw your Jeep pic album... beautiful! What a new adventure package!! Dunno... might be like my husband and I when we gave up tent camping and went to a motor home... we never looked back... the time was right.. Only you two can figure out what's best for you two. Wishing you more miles of...

    HowTo: My '21 RT Battery Tender Permanent Tail Installation.

    As I was reading the original post I wondered if somehow one could attach a small magnet to a piece of fishing line and lower it in to hopefully catch the bolt... thinking this might be skinny and flexible enough to wiggle around in the 'nether land to try and catch the rascal.. hhmm... might...

    How about heated gear - what's your favorite? Any other suggestions?

    I have a 12V First Gear liner that has a tab protruding from the bottom of the jacket with a push button that changes the heat settings. LOVE it! I chose Gerbing battery-operated gloves as I didn't want to take a lot of time unplugging from the rest of the gear or the bike when making gas and...

    The frequent lament of "they said my Spyder was not a real motorcycle!"

    I too have never received any negative comments. People usually want to know if it is hard to steer and are shocked to know it has power steering.

    A visit from a member here from Conn. tomorrow

    I thoroughly enjoyed this writeup and look forward to Day 2. I didn't see this writeup until this morning as I was out riding all day yesterday, got home, glanced out here quickly, then had to play catch-up with home chores.

    Pulled pork .... From a pressure cooker

    Many years ago I used a pressure cooker for mostly tougher cuts of beef to put into stews or soups but haven't used one in a long time now.

    Adding Ride On to your tires - Good, Bad, Opinions?

    The Ride-On tubes contain x-amount of ounces of Ride-On. The tube is squeezed directly into the tire valve stem area. Example only… not intended to be used as fact…. if the tube contains 6 oz and the recommended amount to apply to one tire is 12 oz.. you would need to buy 2 tubes for one...

    Adding Ride On to your tires - Good, Bad, Opinions?

    I'm sorry but I don't really remember... whatever they recommended for the size tires I had on the Gold Wing trike. I know I had a BT46 on for a front tire but honestly don't remember what car tires were on the rear... that was in 2017 and I have since sold the trike and bought the Spyder...

    New back tire. Short valve stem. Do extenders exist that work?

    :agree: This is a great tool.

    Ride feel - should I set-up for 2-up now or get used to solo first?

    Go solo first and get comfortable. Your wife will probably need a few instructions along the way. Be patient, go slow. I have always been a solo driver on all my motorcycles/trike/Spyder... until one day this past spring a passenger lady in the group said she could not stand to ride her...

    From a Beloved 2001 Wing to a 2014 Spyder RTL in 23 years

    If you haven’t already done so, you might want to find a 2020 and up Spyder RTL to demo.. at a dealer, rental or Spyder riding course… just for comparison. Also.. too much air in the tires will leave it bouncing around like a beach ball…

    Has anybody installed the OEM adjustable wind deflectors on 2020+ RTL?

    Both, depending if you have them open or closed. Open flows more air onto you. Closed makes the air flow more outside your seating space. If it's cold, close them. If it's hot, open them.

    Has anybody installed the OEM adjustable wind deflectors on 2020+ RTL?

    I had the dealer install the OEM's on my 2021 RTL. It does make a little difference but not much... to me anyway. But, having been used to the Baker Air Wings on other touring bikes I rode, there is just no comparison as to the amount of wind moved toward you or away from you for personal...

    Brand new 2023 S2S Clunks going into Reverse - is this OK?

    We used Amsoil in all of our 2-wheelers... all were Japanese bikes: Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki... really made for smooth shifting. Next oil change I will go with Amsoil on this 2021 RTL although it is shifting ok. Have had the dealer do the recommended first 2 oil changes already. Guess I will...

    Adding Ride On to your tires - Good, Bad, Opinions?

    I used Ride-On in my Gold Wing trike tires. Really did like it. First time I drove it after putting the Ride-On in the tires it scared the be-jabbers out of me - tires jostling like I had 3 flats.. but after a couple of miles it smoothed out and was an excellent ride. I knew to watch for...
