• 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.

    How many States require a Motorcycle Endorsement for Spyders?

    Here in Illinois, if you take the basic MSF course, and pass of course, you will receive your MC endorsement. They even provide the bikes to do this with, fun riding Honda Shadow 250's. I don't know if Illinois requires a MC endorsement to operate a Spyder or not, I do have mine, so... See...

    Your Weather News @ February Edition 2025

    1.2" of rain here yesterday. It was warm enough to rain but since the ground is still frozen, nowhere for the water to go, so it just sits there, wet.

    Does anyone leave the parking brake off during winter storage? And some rodent protection discussion...

    Rats are MUCH more intelligent than mice. Back in the day when I had to work for a living, part of my job was working in a research setting in a university lab. At one point we had a 1,000 rats and 800 mice. Not only are rats smarter than mice but they smell WAY better too. Walking into the...

    Does anyone leave the parking brake off during winter storage? And some rodent protection discussion...

    If using mothballs/crystals works for you then it works. Perhaps you don't even have a rodent problem? The consensus is that these things do not work, at all. "Mothballs are ineffective as a rodent repellent. Plus, using them in a manner not approved by the mothball label can expose your...

    Does anyone leave the parking brake off during winter storage? And some rodent protection discussion...

    And your question is? Does your RTL beep profusely if you turn it off without setting the parking brake? Yes, it does. If it's like my F3, it beeps exactly 15 times and then shuts up.

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    Buc-ee's has employees that watch out for this sort of thing? Keeping an eye on who's parking across the street? What purpose do you reckon they would have for this? Just to refuse service to a trucker? Isn't a trucker's money just as good as anyone else's?

    09 Spyder GS lost key - is it possible to program new keys to the Spyder?

    Where did the key(s) that belong to this Spyder go? Without a key that will actually start your Spyder, you're going to be SOL in a big way. As said above, you're going to have to purchase a new DESS and with your Spyder being a 2009, you may have a BIG problem finding one.

    Mad Ramps for hauling Spyder

    I bought my pickup new in 2003, and I've hauled many things over those years. I've learned how the wind flowing over the cab affects whatever is in the bed and in my truck, 2003 Silverado 2500HD diesel crew cab full sized bed, the cab does a fairly good job of blocking the wind to the bed. In...

    If the Spyder is in the back of the truck, what difference does it make if it's backwards or not?
