• 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.

    Some good...some not so good

    Hello all, I hope today was a good one for you... I came in from work on the spyder and before I shut her down my wife was raising the garage to let me in(been parking the spyder in there lately). So I had this genius ideal to ask her if she wanted to pull it in. To my surprise she said yes. So...

    So Glad I Bought a Spyder!

    You are better than me. I also bought the spyder before I took the MSF course(month and a half before), but since I bought a se5 I saw no need for me to struggle with a clutch so I took my course on a moped. It wasn't really that comfortable but I never fell down nor did the scooter. It never...

    Not everyone can drive a Spyder.

    it doesn't matter to me at all when I first got the spyder, my first thought was I have to join a riding club or motorcycle club or start my own group(I have about two pages of ideals and bylaws right now in my mancave). I would try to talk to every guy on a motorcycle and would even at times...

    little lessons learned along the way...

    Great ride today...few things to point out. Hello all, I hope this weekend has provided the break or refresher that most of us need every so often...I went to Oklahoma today. It is about a 200 mile round trip from where I am in Texas to Durant, Oklahoma(near the Choctaw Casino). This time it...

    Any thoughts on the recently announced TomTom Rider 5 Motorcycle GPS?

    How do you really feel? That was awesome! lol!!!! The funny thing is you were talking in your normal voice with no anger or frustration to be detected so I am thinking, "why has he had so many?" or "maybe he is a distributor for this company?". Then the tell me how you really feel moment...

    little lessons learned along the way...

    the lessons keep coming... Hello all, I hope things have been well for each of you...I have about 1700 miles on the spyder. If you divide that by the 6 months I have had the spyder it averages out to about 283 miles per month, but realistically I didn't really start driving it for more than a...

    Vinyl "Carbon Fiber" on ST-S Nose

    Who would think that such a small change could have a big cosmetic enhancement. It does look real nice. Maybe add some lighting around it for special effect? Either way good idea.

    Day two Daytona Bikeweek 2013

    I think the term used for mods on SpyderLovers is "farkle". Well this has to have it's own terminology. That spyder is banging! Does he ride it or is it just a show spyder?

    Spyder Hunter

    It really comes down to you With any car/truck, motorcycle, or spyder you will find positive reviews and negative. They will range from bad handling to the best ride ever. Anytime we make a big purchase there is a risk factor. "Is the dealer shady" or "did I read the fine print on the warranty"...

    Helmet News

    Seems like a great concept but I imagine that initially it will be odd. For me, as I become a better rider certain moves or actions have become routine like how I continuously check my mirrors. Adding this step would throw me off a bit at first. It is like my floorboards, although the pegs were...

    Contour Camera Mount

    Road conditions? Maybe the condition of the highway makes a big difference. I watched the video from NCSpyderRT and it was very stable and clear the whole time. Shoot, made me want to get a video recorder/camera but in Dallas you would just get footage of the freeway and near death experiences...

    back tire air pressure

    Conclusion Realized, I never stated what I found out about why my back tire was loosing pressure. I had a defective tire with a knot on the side wall. Very grateful that it didn't blow while I was rolling.

    Customer service rant

    No sir, it is something I have noticed since I became an adult. I am a big guy so I work a little harder to be polite as I know sometimes a large person can either intimidate others or make someone feel they need to prove that they are tough so I try to elimanate both of those scenarios in my...

    Customer service rant

    Customer service is not how you really feel about the customer, but rather what the customer thinks you feel about them. If I think you gave me a deal like no one else then that is all that matters. No need for me to know 2 customers before me got the same deal. Why is it that the customers who...

    irony

    I haven't seen the commercial either. I've just seen a couple of posts on here about it. It probably only airs on certain channels so the odds are not real good that I will see it soon. :sour:

    irony

    I was outside for a few minutes and when i stepped back in my wife says "babe, you just missed a can am spyder commercial". What's odd about that, you might say...well when i was outside i was getting my can am spyder ready so i could go on a ride. Irony

    it's all slowly(keyword slowly) coming together

    That is good info, you are right those short pegs are hard to find sometimes.

    it's all slowly(keyword slowly) coming together

    Full size pegs work with the Rivco driver boards? I thought that the reason they include those little short pegs with the package is because the full size ones don't fit or is it that the full size pegs won't fold?
