• 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.

    Yeah, that Alberta wind can be a wee bit of a problem. I found riding between Calgary and Edmonton can be a real chore, whether on two wheels or three. You’ll find that as you put on more km’s the smoother and less tiring the Spyder will be. I’m now on my 8th year on three wheels and love...

    Retired, or .........? Why does posting rate here drop on weekends?

    I hear what you’re saying, and commend you for it. I just hope and pray that you’re not being taken advantage of.

    Random thought for the day

    Plus... manual floor shift!

    Retired, or .........? Why does posting rate here drop on weekends?

    Unfortunately with that reasoning that means that they aren’t riding during the week....too busy posting. No, there must be some unknown reason for the posting to diminish significantly on the weekends. Me, I ride when it’s not too hot for me, no matter what day it is.....or maybe it’s all in...

    Retired, or .........? Why does posting rate here drop on weekends?

    I’ve been noticing that the number of posts drops significantly on the weekends, and I wonder why. I was of the opinion that more than half of the members were retired, but maybe that is not true. I mean, there is no difference between Monday thru Friday and the weekends, other than church, so...

    HHC (Hill Hold Control) - what am I doing wrong? Why won't it work?

    Quuite honestly, Peter, I don’t believe me ‘14 has it either, and like you I do not miss having it, nor do I want it. I do believe everything else that I said is true....the wheels are round for a reason; they ROLL. My ‘14 does sort of hold on the inclines....a lot better than the cars when I...

    HHC (Hill Hold Control) - what am I doing wrong? Why won't it work?

    I don’t know, Peter..... I find that on my ‘14 RTS my bike holds pretty darn good on an incline on an overpass, and it sure doesn’t “run away” when the light turns red. I mean it’s got round wheels that are supposed to roll easily so you can get the best mileage possible, and now you want auto...

    Too hot to ryde!

    Really curious about the term “heat index”. That’s a term that does not get used much ho here....what we hear quite often is “feels like”. It may be 33°C on the thermometer but it “feels like” 37° because of the humidity. Is that the same as your heat index? curious minds want to know!

    What Questions should I ask sellers?

    Don’t know what Spyder you’re thinking of....an F3? Or an RT? You should try to be more specific, but ARTraveler had 2 units for sale..... You might try sending him a PM.

    Too hot to ryde!

    I agree with vito1943 on this issue. I’m also 80, had my mc license since I was 16, and don’t got nutten to prove to nobody, including myself. When the thermometer reads 90° I leave the RTS parked IN THE GARAGE, and if truth be known, I do the same at 85°. Early morning rides are generally...

    Sena 30K - need Help with Setup/recommended device settings?

    That’s a strange looking “Cognac”. My ‘14 RT is also Cognac but it is a burnt copper colour.

    So that happened. Passed out from the heat.

    I hear ya. I’m 80 and have a terrible time getting up off the floor into the upright position. I ALWAYS make sure my phone is WITHIN my reach when I’m in the garage or out riding!
