• 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.

    Rider harassment?

    Happens all the time. If the victim cops an attitude, threatens the police or presents a hazard to others the most likely response by the police will be to handcuff them and put them in the back seat of the patrol car. I didn't get that far as my video appeared to end early (and before the...

    OT: Cutting the Cable?

    I'm not suggesting your question is inappropriate for this forum but the people here are primarily Spyder owners/riders and most likely don't have the same level of understanding about the numerous options to cord cutters. That's all I am saying.

    OT: Cutting the Cable?

    Instead of asking for cord cutting comments on a motorcycle forum you might have better luck googling something like "cord cutters". Not disparaging Spyder riders but it stands to reason a board dedicated to the subject might be a better resource.

    Rider harassment?

    How many times have you seen video of a biker just running away when a cop tries pulling them over? I think this particular stop was to prevent that from happening as the biker was trapped between civilians on both sides and the cop car in front. And we don't know if the undercover cop car had...

    Rider harassment?

    The video begins with an overtype which says this ride is "chill" compared to his regular rides. If that is indeed true we will be reading his obit shortly......and hopefully before he takes an innocent person with him.

    Rider harassment?

    He didn't lane split until he pulled up beside that red car and was stopped by the cops. He did change lanes unsafely multiple times though.

    Rider harassment?

    That is NOT a SWAT team and he was guilty of more than just land cutting.

    Rider harassment?

    I am on the cops side. He made unsafe lane changes. He was obviously speeding. Can't tell if he didn't use his blinker but assume that because his lane changes were much to abrupt. He is a buttwipe and deserves to be ticketed for every violation. He not only puts himself at risk but every...

    Burial At Sea

    This video has been on Youtube for a long time. The reason it was filmed was, I suppose, for newsreel footage of WWII and the terrible losses during that conflict. The complete story is that the rear gunner of that plane was so badly shot up that he could not be extracted from his position...

    Definitely Ann-Margaret on the chopper. Cast of 5th grade school comedy put on TV in place of Saturday Night horror movies.

    Factors that Increase and Decrease Motorcyclist Crash Risk

    I've known several people to have tipped over while parked. Is that considered riding or not riding? :)

    Factors that Increase and Decrease Motorcyclist Crash Risk

    Someone who wears protective gear when they ride is most likely to observe the other safe riding procedures. They are also more likely to have a better maintained ride and not take chances along the way.

    Factors that Increase and Decrease Motorcyclist Crash Risk

    I actually did read it and quickly noticed the average biker doesn't have the intelligence or determination to assimilate that overwhelming statistical onslaught to frame the proper conclusions so I tried to reduce it to understandable terms. I didn't try to give weight to individual metrics...

    "Hero's" were the soldiers in the field who covered their wounded buddies. Or the helo pilots who entered fire zones to pick up the wounded or trapped. Or the corpsmen who, unarmed and under fire, attended to soldiers wounded in battle. Or just the ordinary 19 or 20 year old soldier who was...

    Under $10,000 Spyder

    The problem in Paris is not the size of the vehicle but rather the lack of places to park it. Last time I was in Paris there were very small cars parked everywhere, over curbs, on sidewalks, in between "no parking" iron posts. Any 3-wheeler is going to be wider and more difficult to maneuver...

    Under $10,000 Spyder

    As a support/merchandiser for aftermarket pieces and parts for the Spyder community I can easily understand why you would be wanting the new model(s). But as with a fresh model of a new car it is probably best for the average buyer to wait to see how it plays out in real life. First issues are...
