• 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.

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    If you were born before 1941, I’m chasing you, if not, it’s the other way around. OTOH, if we can remember what comes after Walla we’re still doing pretty good.

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    My apology, I jumped ahead of my partner's current problem, one option in which was a possible attempt to purchase a new Spyder and trade in the F3 as is, so my old brain housing started thinking group buy. That's where iMotorsports comes in, not in service.

    2026 Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally Accomplishment

    And today on the front page of The Wall Street Journal there were three pictures of a British, Betty Bromage, woman who was wing-walking a biplane at 97 years of age. She has done it six times since she turned 87.

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    If I lived where you do, based on what I've read here on SL I would try iMotorsports. They have some very good reviews.

    What is the oil capacity of a 2026 S2S? Does it hold more than 5 Qts of oil?

    If one looks at the part numbers for the Oil Tank Cover Assembly (item #37) for the 2014 RT through 2026 RT S2S, one will see they are exactly the same. The part number for Item #37 was changed between MY 2014 and MY 2015 but the same PN applies to all versions of the 1330 ACE engine including...

    2026 Deadwood 3 Wheeler Rally Accomplishment

    As my late mother-in-law, who died just short of her 101st birthday, used to say, "Growing old isn't for sissies." The more trips we make around the sun, the more speed bumps we encounter. I'm half way through my ninth decade and just riding along. The sign over the gym door says, "Every day...

    What is the oil capacity of a 2026 S2S? Does it hold more than 5 Qts of oil?

    Jetfixer, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I was one of the blokes who raised the questions about checking the oil level in the 1330 ACE engine and contacted BRP about the inconsistencies between the Operator's Guide and the real world with my new 2014 RT-S.

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    That's exactly what I faced when I bought my Spyder intentionally at the end of MY 2014. The dealership less than 4 miles from my house with an excellenty service department wouldn't shave one thin dime off MSRP on the Spyder I wanted so I went 90+ miles to work with a deaership that wanted to...

    Comparing how we ride our Spyders - what does your trip meter say??

    The longer I've had the Spyder, the more comfortable I've become with the anticipated per tank mileage, and my fill-up numbers exceeding 6.0 gal are quite small. I still err on the side of caution, filling early if I don't know the territory.

    Thank you, Nokesy. I'm hoping my bones give me enough longevity to make it to at least 150K.

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    Comments worth their weight in gold! Am glad I don't have to make the decision, but it's more painful to see a good friend in the bulls-eye.

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    Yes, @Snoking1127, a valid additional point. When I talked to Rice's reps at the rally about the damage, one mentioned it wouldn't bring too much because of its age. Don't know what part of the staff they were from, probably sales, but my partner would like a Canyon; however, I don't know how...

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    Snoking, it's possible there might be a Tarheel with your ace in the hole. My partner has a minivan equipped for towing. mecsw, I spoke with a guy in the service dept of Rice's Rapid Motorsports this morning, gave him the entire rundown and his only concern was the replacement shaft being out...

    My post is a perfect example of what a great website SL is. I will address replies through Lightning's as one. 1. mecsw and all, the process of getting the bike home will be very methodical and deliberate as there is no rush to get it back to NC and on the road again. I spoke yesterday with...

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    I am posting this SOS on behalf of my Spyder touring partner who had a catastrophic mechanical failure during our 4,000+ mile junket to the D3WR. On our ride to see the Crazy Horse Memorial the transmission output shaft on his 2015 F3 snapped clean as a whistle right at the front sprocket. He...

    I spoke at some length with Michele at First Gold Gaming today and learned a few things that may be of interest to future D3WR attendees. First, she explained that FGG goes in the hole every year putting on the event, largely because it must rent both the physical facility and the tents from the...

    Yes, Lightning, I am he. Our paths haven't crossed because we haven't been headed to the same place at the same time. A year or so ago I took a tip from you and visited a fruitcake place on a Saturday and had a good ride with some good food. Jay
