• 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.

    2021 RTL - where is your camera mount on the rear?

    Are you looking for GoPro or other action camera mount, or a backup camera? I have used the GoPro suction cup mount on the topcase of my F3L. I use a tether in case the suction cup lets go.

    Now we need to be on the lookout for E15 gas!

    Also be aware the E15 is sometimes called Super 88, for 88 octane. In very fine print on the sticker, it says it is E15. Very confusing.

    Time for a new Handle?

    Darn adventurous Navy kids. Our son was also in the Navy, stationed on Whidbey Island. Loved it there. He is out of the Navy and found a flight paramedic job at Coupville, on Whidbey Island. Loves the PNW and his job. Now if I could only talk my wife into riding the Spyder from Iowa to...

    Recommended Go Pro settings for night time video?

    I also have a Hero 5 Black, and have not found any settings to get good video at night. ISO 1600 is very noisy. Can be improved somewhat in post.

    October 30 Ride in NW Iowa.

    Peter, that is something I am working on. GoPro Time Warp does not record audio. So I have to switch to video mode and speed up in post. GoPro camera mic is not great and I get enough wind noise to drown out the sound of the engine. The F3 is a very quiet running bike, but if I could get...

    October 30 Ride in NW Iowa.

    Saturday was a nice 63 degree day, with clear blue sky. My wife wanted to go for one last Spyder ride, before it gets to cold for her to want to ride with me.

    Windy Days are for the Birds

    Yesterday I rode in my Spyder about 120 miles with sustained winds of 25-35 mph and gusts of over 40 mph. Keeping a loose grip on the bars and the Spyder tracked nice and straight. Keeping a light grip on the bars is the key for me.
