• 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.

    Ramps to allow you to work on your Spyder

    That is why the front ramps are 4 ft. long so that you can pull far enough ahead and then place the back ramp down and back up on it. Great place to put tools and use as table. Did not pull far enough ahead to get the back wheel on the back ramp as stable as it can be. Test run when I took...

    Ramps to allow you to work on your Spyder

    I really don't mind paying for service if the price is appropriate, the job is done within a reasonable amount of time and done right. I guess I'm just too picky!! Spyderiderjim showed me how easy it was to change your own oil and he had ramps so I made these. Buy 3 - 8 ft. long 2 by 12's and...

    RT safety - I'm Impressive!!

    Last Thursday I hit a deer in Co. going at least 60 mph. The only reason I am writing this tonight is because of the safety features in the Spyder, I believe!
