• 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.

    Google maps has failed me.

    Slice, you've described exactly how I start many of my routes, by dragging and dropping the generated path to my liking, but then I go select or create waypoints at the significant corners or spots I want to hit along the ride, after tweaking it to my needs. I then send it to my phone pinning...

    Google maps has failed me.

    Slice, Not sure what's happening, but I do as Jesster72 and Monk have stated and have done several 1000 - 2000 mile Iron Butt rides with little to no interstate and Google Maps (configured, way-pointed, and offline maps saved to phone) has rarely mis-behaved, on my '13 RTL I used the Garmin only...

    I added a Pedal Box to my 2012

    EODSF, you probably should ask that XM Radio question in a new thread versus appending it to a Pedal Box/Commander thread.

    Is there a way to get more punch off the line?

    Filters, (K&N or not), Oil, Tires, now this. You guys just love arguing and trying to prove your point as if others really care about YOUR point. I LOVE what my Pedal Box has done for my Spyder. The OP roguehawk hasn't even chipped in since he thanked the early responders and you few are just...

    My South Texas ryde today

    I salted my frozen rain covered driveway when the temps got above 10 today, even saw my Spyder storage trailer buried in snow drifts. My hope is to tow my SST down your way sometime in Jan or Feb when my cabin fever really kicks in.

    The most dangerous place on earth for me.

    Ah Pete, I'm only 64 and have done that exact mis-step WITHOUT carrying three boxes, though my outcome wasn't nearly as problematic. But I can absolutely relate to that moment of realizing the floor wasn't where I thought it was. You know there's a world of Spyder Ryders out here that will be...

    Please, I need advice re Putting a Spyder on ramps?

    Though I do have and use common automotive Ramps for some Spyder maintenance, I also would recommend something like the $140 (at this time) Harbor Freight PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVE 1500 lb. Steel ATV/Motorcycle Lift or one of the many, many other heavily discussed Spyder lifts. I've used the HFPA...

    LB, balmy down there in IN should be a nice day for a ride! Below 30 here in SouthCentral MN and we got snow, 1 - 3 inches! Prompted me to move the spyder out of the garage so my ST could fit in.

    Profile picture test post.

    OK Greg, looks like you've updated both your Avatar and Profile Picture, but for the life of me, my 64yo brain can't comprehend what I'm looking at? A close up selfie of you with your winter motorcycle balaclava (not to be confused with a tasty baklava), and a modular helmet with the chin bar...

    Double D Ring vs Ratchet Straps...What do you prefer?

    Both my wife and I are VERY happy with our new Schuberth C5 (DOT Approved) with the Ratchet Straps, takes some getting used to compared to the DD's but we're getting much quicker at getting helmed up and off when riding. I feel safe with the Ratchet Strap system they use, especially with the DOT...
