• 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.

    Covering your Spyder

    I use both, a half cover overnight when the weather is good, and a full cover for when it rains. For storms and severe weather I move it inside the garage for protection which involves moving other vehicles to make room. I've never had a problem with rodents and varmints moving in during the...

    Drinking and Riding

    Present Day, I don't drink and drive, period. My concern is the other guy that's coming at me in the other lane. Is he sober?

    Memorial Day Weekend

    Generally thought of as "the start of Summer" and all that goes with it. If you're traveling, be safe on the highways. There's going to be a lot of us going places. And with all things going on this holiday weekend, take 2 Minutes and 34 Seconds to watch the following message. It's the reason...

    Winter snowmobiling recap

    We had a shorter season here in Wisconsin as only February was excellent with plenty of snow and cold. I didn't take that many pictures this year as I've been collecting video with my GoPro to share. Pictured is my current Winter Ride, BRP's Ski Doo Blizzard. It has the 900 ACE engine that is...

    Washing Your Spyder....

    I think he's referring to the lower drive stuff like the sprockets, belt, brakes, etc. There gets to be quite a bit of grime on those components, especially brake dust.

    Anyone researching a turbo Ryker?

    It's not the same engine. The turbo 900 is a much more robust version, i.e. pistons, heads, and crank. Same displacement but a different engine to accommodate the boost, heat, etc. The snowmobile application goes from 90 hp to 150 hp with the noted changes.

    Go Pro

    We mount them on the side of the helmet free from the moving parts. As far as aiming? That will take some practice with trial and error.

    Go Pro

    Hero 5 Session here. It's smaller than the others, cube shaped, excellent HD Quality. I've been using these for years in snowmobiling, a much harsher environment than on our Spyders. Takes time and practice to not only capture raw video but also in the editing. You'll want to look into an...

    It's how we Roll in Wisconsin

    On an earlier post I had mentioned a couple of my hobbies during the long winter months here in Wisconsin, snowmobiling and producing videos of some of our activities. It looks like our season is coming to an end with the forecast of rains and warmer temps. I have one last video to share from...

    Snowmobiling in Wisconsin

    It's been an epic month of Winter weather here in Wisconsin. As I post this on 3-3-2019 the local temperature will be -9/9 Below Zero tomorrow morning just south of Green Bay. Needless to say it's gonna be awhile before my Spyder comes out to play. In the meantime, I'm spending quite a bit of...

    Insurance Cost

    $172 with State Farm. I think the deductible is a grand and we have all of our other insurance with them to keep the costs down. Full coverage comes off in the fall and back on in the spring.

    In search of storage

    Yes, I do the same on our Personal Watercraft which is a bit short on storage. Just about the right size for spare glasses, sun screen, etc.

    Millennials and Harley Davidson

    Nothing really new here but I thought it worthy of sharing as it describes the tastes of younger consumers when it comes to the bigger bikes for touring. I'd opine that the Harley's and Spyders are as different as Apples and Oranges but they do have similar price points and they share the same...

    No new Farkles for me for long time

    Good choice. The last time I was in your position I was offered assistance in writing my resume. (I didn't think I needed help but I was wrong) I found that resumes are constantly changing. Companies use computer programs that search for key words and phrases in resumes. For example; I took the...

    Camera for motorcycle

    OK folks, let me share my experiences with the cameras. I added a vid camera to my helmet about 7 years ago primarily for snowmobiling. I don't recall the company but it was one of the lower end cameras and was OK. It eventually failed and parts were almost impossible to find so I upgraded to a...
