• 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.

    Dang, I wish I knew you were there I would have looked you up. We were on our way to a cabin near Branson so it was a quick visit to the vendor village to get some F4 cleaner and the seat. JT

    Thanks, I really wanted a more comfortable seat after the Spyders on the Bayou ride and finding out the new engine only cost me $50 made me decide to dig up a mason jar and head to Springfield. Really I just wanted to see and chat with Roger a bit but the seat was a bonus. JT

    Well did you get a new one? Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. And yes some machines have a mind of their own it seems. The Blue Spyder will live again with a new short block and some spit and polish... JT

    The tech said something about a gasket failing so I assume it stopped up the suction side of the primary oil pump as the oil tank was over full. I'll quiz him in person when I pick it up. JT

    Just got off the phone with the service manager and the new short block has been approved by BRP and the parts are on the way to put the Spyder back together. She said it looks funny with just the frame and rear part still on the bike. Going to look for a new seat for it at SpyderFest... JT

    We can only pass by on Saturday, wife is out of vacation. We want to look at the Ultimate seat for the Spyder. Just got off the phone with the very nice service manager and they are filing a case Monday to get a complete motor. Timing chain broke in two places, pistons and bores scarred up so a...

    Good thing I'm not in a bind to ride, I have the Bluewing still in the stable. I'm sure they are juggling all the time so I give them a nudge about once a week. JT

    Well I thought the engine was out but it seems not... I stopped by on our way to Guido's and took a couple of photos. The service manager was not around so we headed north. Looks like some bits are off but not the engine. JT

    It's pretty close to the right color, a bit dark for me. I'd bet it will take more than $50 to go that route... JT
