• 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.

    My weekly ride

    I meet every Saturday morning at a local shopping center parking lot where there is a small "car show". There are usually 10 to 20 of us that stand around, drink coffee and try and decide where we are going for breakfast. The herd is mainly Harleys with a couple of Beemers, Goldwings and a...

    7Jurock Windshields

    No, they don't have hardware. They put spacers around the four mounting bolts cuz' the new w/s is wider than stock and won't fit in the existing groove in the bracket. Works just fine. Their shields are made from 3/16" acrylic.

    7Jurock Windshields

    Can't say enough good things about this company. It's a small, family run operation. Everything is handmade and made to order. They are about a 20min ride from my place so, a couple of weeks ago I rode up to them to see what they were about. They put a proto-type w/s on my ride and asked me to...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Installed the BajaRon anti-sway bar. Ended up getting the HF motorcycle lift to get the job done. The lift worked perfectly. It comes with extensions for the pads and it got it up the right height to remove/install the bar. For the price($189) it was a good investment. I plan on doing all my own...

    Rear Cargo panniers/saddlebags won't stay locked?? Anyone else? 2020 F3T

    I had a similar problem on my 2018 F3-T. You may have already checked this but I found that the plastic divider that runs the length of saddlebag had slipped out of position. It needs to be in the slots at the front and rear of the bag for the case to close completely. Hope this helps.

    Need a Driver Backrest for F3 - what are the options?

    I just put the Lamonster Ultimate Rider backrest on my 2018 F3-T and I love it. The bracket fits perfectly for ease of installation. Took about 20min to install. It's adjustable and very comfortable. Just finished a 2 day ride and was thankful I made the purchase.

    At minimum ankle boots but mostly Danner full size side zip Gortex boots.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    I've seen numerous mentions of 7Jurock windshields on this forum and several of my riding friends have told me good things about the company. So, since my wife advised me she had invited 5 or 6 of her girlfriends over for a girls pool party, I decided it was time to go for a ride. 7Jurock is...

    How do you dress for a ride?

    Just bought my first mesh jacket and I agree with bigbadbrucie. A very pleasant surprise. It's been very hot here in the West(SoCal). Went on a two day ride down in San Diego County where the temp ranged from 90 to 102. The mesh jacket was a life saver. Stayed comfortable and still maintained my...

    Breakfast

    Usually don't eat breakfast. Just have a couple of cups of black coffee. That all changes on the Saturday morning rides with my friends. Then it's chicken fried steak with gravy, eggs, hash browns and toast. Oh yeah. Don't forget the coffee.

    F3 limited vs RT

    I am new to the Spyder world and I started with a used 2018 F3-T with 3000 miles. My only experience with the RT was sitting on it in the showroom. It reminded my of my BMW R1100 RT. I felt like I was sitting on top of the bike. The F3-T feels like my BMW R1200C where you are sitting "in" the...

    Spyder Sightings

    Spotted an RT among a herd of Harleys S/B on I-15 in San Diego County. I was N/B with my own herd(Harleys). There was also a Harley Trike behind the RT.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Installed Lamonster driver backrest. What difference in ride comfort. Took about 20 minutes. Moved on to Lamonster LED headlights and Lamonster fog lights. Amazing how much Tupperware has to be removed just to replace the headlights. Fog lights were a piece of cake. Total of about 5 hours...

    What It’s Like To Ride In Australia? 🇦🇺

    Loved the video. Brought back memories. Used to work with quite a few Aussies when I was in Vietnam. They were a tough bunch. Fell in love with the culture, the people and their stories of home. Started emigration process to Australia in 1968 but, sadly, Life got in the way and it never...

    What is ATGATT?

    Let me start by saying I'm new to this forum and to riding a Spyder, but, not new to riding both street and dirt. Been "down" in both venues and I really enjoy reading all the discussions on this subject cuz' I think it provides really good food for thought. It, ultimately, will be an individual...

    Spyder Sightings

    Saw two Rykers last Saturday S/B on Pacific Coast Hwy, Newport Beach, CA. I was N/B with twelve two wheels that I ride with every Saturday. I don't think the other trikes saw me. Too much beach traffic.

    Price per mile/km

    My Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi gets about 9 mpg around town. I'm averaging 30-33 mpg around town on my Spyder. I'm happy on my Spyder cuz I don't have to look for the lowest prices. I just take off and enjoy the ride.

    USERNAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

    From the very beginning of my career at the "Cop Shop", I seemed to be a magnet for vehicle pursuits. (My first one was on my very first day on the job.) After a while, and many pursuits, my sergeant showed up at the termination of one pursuit and said, "You're quite the wheelman." Well, my last...
