• 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 do you mange riding a Spyder and a motorcycle?

    I ride them both with no issues. But when I am going to be riding either one somewhat aggressively, I will put in about a week of only riding whichever one i will be taking to the event. In June we do a weeks trip with the guys on mostly 2 wheelers, so I will take about a weeks vacation from...

    Top case rack OEM vs AfterMarket - differences and better option

    Thanks for that. I am considering getting one for my 2021 RTL before our cross country trip next spring. I haven't ordered the upgraded shock yet because I have had good luck with my oem one. Wish I could say that about the one for the seat. I am mainly looking for a bag big enough to store...

    How about a new rt?

    The pictures are definitely eye catching and something that I would want. But as many have said, AI is very deceiving. One of the worst ways is when they use it on people. I am referring to how ladies (and men), can change their appearance. I am really glad I am not into the dating game...

    492 mile day trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway

    I tried to contact him yesterday, but was unable to reach him. I wanted to get the exact number of miles on the bike. But I do know that it was the oem stock tire on a 2021 Sea to Sky. My guess is that the bike has less than 4,000 miles on it. As for the hole, it was about a 2" diameter hole...

    492 mile day trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway

    Had an awesome time Saturday (9/7) riding with a group of 3 wheelers from the Raleigh, NC area to the BRP. We started out with 7 Spyders and 2 Slingshots. About 40 miles into the ride, and 2 miles from our last meeting point, one of the Spyders had a flat. We stopped and were going to see if it...

    Buying used - 2015 Spyder F3-S - is this milage/usage a concern?

    Where are you located? I think location has a lot to do with what type of deals you are able to come across. There is one local that I am considering picking up just for sporting around. It has 28k miles and some extras. It is also a SM6, but it has Corbin bags and a passenger backrest that I...

    Has Anyone else removed their F3T's windshield?

    I understand your reasoning. Just curious as to why you didn't get a F3 or F3S if you didn't want a windshild?

    New to Three Wheelers. Long time on two

    Welcome! I see you are in NC - Check out the 'Triangle Spyders' group if you are on facebook. We are doing a ride next weekend (9/7) to the NC mountains. Going to travel up to the Boone area; hop on the BRP; and take that down to Little Switzerland. Then we're heading home (Apex/Cary area)...

    Will F3 Limited Floorboards fit on an F3T?

    For me, I swapped the entire thing. But the rear bracket is the same on both. I know this because the metal is sort of cheap pot metal and one of mine broke. We were able to use the rear area from a peg and use it with the floorboard piece.

    Will F3 Limited Floorboards fit on an F3T?

    They work. I actually got mine from a guy who had a Limited and preferred the pegs. But they are a direct fit.

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    Just pull it up on a few (3) 2X6 and use an oil catch pan from the Dollar Tree. They are very shallow and work great for low clearance situations.

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    I didn't even think about the radio being gone. I guess that is something that adventure riders aren't into.

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    I actually could see myself wanting (not needing) something like a ryker rally to explore some mountain gravel roads. But there is no situation that I would need the canyon. Not just because I would prefer a 4 wheeler or side by side in that situation, but because the price point is too high...

    PedalBox and Pedal Commander - what do they do and how do they work?

    I have the pedal commander on my 2016 F3L and the pedal box on my 2021 RTL. Both of them do a great job. My question is, both of the bikes have the se6 transmission. Do you see the same increase in throttle response on a sm6 transmission bike? Just curious.

    Motorcyclist Map Appalachian Fall 2024 Event - Oct 3-6

    The spyder rally is being held in Maggie Valley on that same week. This is a free event and always great to attend. We are actually going 2 weeks afterwards this year so that we can catch more colors. There will be some color the first week in October, but it will probably be in the upper...

    2025 Pulse and Origin Reveal - did they fail mileage hopes?

    Did anyone get a price range on these things? I didn't go into the building features, and it appeared that was the main method to get a price. I am not a big electric vehicle fan, but I was surprized that the price on a new Ford Lightning pickup was so cheap. Around here, you are able to get a...

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    With the additional ground clearance, I am guessing that it will limit the ability to handle high speed curves like riding the Dragon and other such roads. I was also looking for specs like the width and length, but I didn't see anything. I am guessing that I probably just overlooked it.

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    Well, they keep making the older model F3 series that I have look better and better. I am not a fan of this new Canyon, but I was also not a fan of the F3T. Then I made the mistake of riding one and then I had to have it. Hopefully the same thing doesn't happen with this model. So, am I correct...
