• 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.

    Cold Ryde?

    I just came back from a grocery run. It is 40F here in South Texas and I think that's my lower limit unless I buy more cold weather gear. It was tolerable but just with long johns, jeans and a long sleeve shirt, a leather/mesh riding jacket WITH the liner in and my full face modular. Also the...

    just a little venting...

    I can sympathize. I've had folks at bike stores treat me like I was riding a Rascal ;-) However, here's a joke I always say is 10 years of therapy in one joke: A man makes a deal with a hooker and they go to a no-tell motel to conclude the deal. Once there, the man disrobes to reveal he has...

    iPod integration

    When I first got the bike, I hooked a bluetooth receiver to the Aux port and liked it. Then I picked up a $20 iPod on eBay with some cosmetic flaws and used that. Great! However, I want to get it to where I can use either with no big effort. It occurred to me that I could break the audio lines...

    Tricle charger

    Ah that is a different one than I bought (which was super cheap on sale -- impulse buy).

    Tricle charger

    Can you post a link to the HF product page or a picture of the charger? If it is the one I have it really does say not to use for AGM on the instructions. If they have another one, I'd like to find it.

    Tricle charger

    I picked up one too then saw that you should not use them with agm batteries. I have a bigger charger that can do agm but wanted a cheap dedicated charger. Not sure what the issue is. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Easy Trunk Light for RT (maybe others)

    I'm trying to visualize that. You'd have to put the switch on the lid and thus the light too, right? I wanted the light down in the trunk, although I suppose if you could get the light pointed right it is bright enough.

    What Helmet Color should I get?

    Are you sure it was the helmet? I found this picture of you online: Sorry, Camper. Just couldn't resist ;-)

    Black hole under handlebars

    I popped the little plastic part out of the center of my 2013 RT handlebars in anticipation of mounting a phone there. I fumbled the piece when it popped out and it slid down the ridiculous crevice around the handlebars. No luck with a flashlight and mirror -- I think it fell further down. I...

    Easy Trunk Light for RT (maybe others)

    Son of trunk light. I grew tired of having to click the light switch twice every time and running the risk of leaving it on. So.... I took a different light apart (surprisingly, the backs were not interchangeable, so I wound up just using the new light). Under the decorative switch cover is...

    Laser Alignment November 9th Houston

    Great to see everyone this morning -- sorry I couldn't hang around. Thanks to M&C for hosting and to Harvey for making the trip. After his alignment, Dave said "it feels like it has power steering now" and when I rode mine after, I had the same thought. Really worth the effort! Dave and I had a...

    Laser Alignment November 9th Houston

    I'll be on my way soon as well. Won't be able to linger too long, unfortunately, as I have transportation duties in the afternoon but looking forward to seeing more Spyders. Of course, the first part of every trip seems like.... get gas. ;-)

    Laser Alignment in Houston area???

    I'd be interested. I'm in the NASA/Clear Lake area. Let me know when and where you would be.

    600 Mile service done in Houston

    I think there used to be a Mancuso in League City, but I think it shut down. I went to the Gulf Freeway one but there is also one in LaPorte.

    RT 2013 Top Side Panel Removal

    Do you put them around the back? Or through the hole? I guess if you snugged it enough and didn't mess up any other clearance that would work. I like the silicone idea -- will do that next time!

    600 Mile service done in Houston

    Mind if I ask which dealer? Mancuso Gulf did mine and they seemed ok although like you say the bill seems high for a maintenance item. I also had a loose panel (post not pushed into a grommet) and the bike was dirty, but I didn't have any other trouble and they've been helpful running down other...
