• 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.

    Will car ramps be okay to work under a Spyder

    Agree with Mike....just used car ramps (backing up onto them) to change my engine oil. I put chocks under the front wheels, and add a floor jack to level the trike.

    Am I alone? Why are there so few ride reports?!?

    Got home Monday from a week-long ride in the twisties in North Eastern TN & Western NC with 110 of my closest friends. We had a maximum of 6 riders in our group on one day and 3 the other days. My body and "Spydie" are recuperating. After eating on the road, it's time to get back onto my diet...

    A 4,000 mile Spyder ride tale in segments

    Final Segment: After Yellowstone, the ride took us southward to Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park in particular. The punishing winds of Wyoming kicked our butts for the next two days, but Colorado invited us back home and into Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park...

    4th segment: The next segment of our ride included Cody, Wyoming; Red Lodge, Montana and; and Yellowstone National Park via some world-famous roads. Cody WY was our next staging point, and It’s a long day in the saddle from Deadwood to Cody. After settling in at our room, we were hungry...

    A 4,000 mile Spyder ride tale in segments

    3rd segment: In South Dakota, the speed limit on I-90 is 85mph, so I decided to see what number my loaded down Spyder could show on the speedometer. Choosing a flat area with a long line of sight, I hammered down. At 105mph she was slow to gain speed, so I backed off. Considering my large...

    A 4,000 mile Spyder ride tale in segments

    Back to our different GPS maps: I try to have the latest version of Garmin maps on my Zumo at all times, because two GPS’s with different version maps can cause discrepancies, confusion, and grouchiness. Since Joe was covered up with buying/selling houses and moving to Springfield, I had made...

    A 4,000 mile Spyder ride tale in segments

    With a plan to ride “somewhere west of Wall Street”, My Spyder protested being loaded upon a trailer for the first and last legs of a 4,000+ ride. It was a hot summer day when I headed to Springfield MO to meet up with my buddy Joe. Since I try not to do more than 300 miles a day riding, I...

    Am I alone? Why are there so few ride reports?!?

    I would like that too... I've not posted much here, but have done the highlighted rides in your post above, plus a few more... Mt Evans (highest paved road in USA); highest point in North Carolina/Georgia/Alabama; ridden in the Bahamas & Mexico. I have a week-long riding trip in the Smokies the...

    Pre-Easter Ride today

    On this beautiful day, I rode the Spyder on a 100 mile loop, stopping at Local Joe's BBQ & Trading Post in Rainbow City AL for a homemade Granny's Apple Pie & coffee. Everything is now better. Happy Easter everyone.

    When Dogwoods bloom.... their pollen covers everything, including my Spyder!!

    Pine trees are a culprit here too. I mentioned Dogwoods because they are (to me) the first visual of what's to come. :coffee:

    Finally, I fixed the Seat release on my RT! Video

    Plus 1....thanks for sharing your clever remedy!

    When Dogwoods bloom.... their pollen covers everything, including my Spyder!!

    A little, but pollen blows/swirls under the cover, and cleaning the cover is interesting. I wasn't complaining when I posted the original post here. It's part of springtime and a nuisance, but a necessary part of this season. I'd love to have a tightly-closed, climatized proper garage, but...
