• 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.

    Leaving to ride to Boca Chica

    Hope you didn’t get rained on while down here. Visited that suspension bridge last year (my sister lives down the road at Goldthwaite). It definitely moves when crossing in a Ford Expedition. Could you feel it on the RT?

    Leaving to ride to Boca Chica

    Kenedy- as in, next to Karnes City? I like your route. Staying off the big roads. I have not ridden mine on the sand. I know vehicles drive on the beach, but I don’t want the corrosion - or the possibility of getting stuck. Would invite myself to ride out there with you, but I’m on a John...

    Leaving to ride to Boca Chica

    Come on down!! I live about 30 miles from Boca Chica (45 driving miles), and have ridden down there several times. You can get right up close and personal, especially at the launch area. Quite the sight. And a nice twisty road after the checkpoint on Hwy 4, but a little beat up from truck...

    New Can-Am Spyder F3 Limited Owner/Rider, Just Saying Hi.

    Welcome, @JamesLaz, from the southern tip of Texas !! Don’t know how I missed your post a couple weeks ago ... I remember you from the CTX1300forum (I was fbnewell1). Excellent group over there, and just as helpful, knowledgeable, compassionate, and “full of bull” ryders on here!!!! Enjoy your...

    Do you think a Spyder is for me? Need some advice from the Spyder Pros

    Sounds like the Ryker Sport is already picked for her. So, now, for you. Since she’ll be on her own ride, may look into the F3 line. A little sportier than the R/T’s and can be had in many different configurations (S, L, T). Occasional 2-up trips should be do-able. They also have the U-Fit...

    Drag Racing at South Texas “Blaze in the Brush” bike gathering

    Attended a “small” bike rally this afternoon here in Deep South Texas. JCS Performance out of McAllen was sponsoring the get-together, featuring 1/4mile drag racing. Racing classes included one for 3-wheeled vehicles only!! Saw 3 Vanderhalls, 2 Slingshots, one Ryker, and several Harley trikes...

    what kind of music do you like?

    My main likes are mid-‘50’s to late-‘70’s Country, ‘80’s and early-‘90’s “Hair” bands, and late-‘90’s and up Gospel quartets. On Sirius XM Bluetoothed into my helmet, that would be Willie’s Roadhouse, Hair Nation, and enLighten.

    Love my wife's, but now I've bought my own!

    Same happened here. She brought home a used ‘15 F3-S, and 3 months later I picked up a “new”, untitled, 5-year-old ‘17 F3-S Daytona. Love ‘em, so far. Enjoy yours!!

    Shout out to Team Mancuso Powersports North, Houston, Tx

    Good to know about Mancuso. Have been to their North location, back when we were just looking into the Spyder, and was not impressed at all with the staff in the showroom. And, yeah, Full Throttle just seemed to want to SELL you something. Glad to know you had a good experience out back when you...

    Happy Birthday

    Had my “special day” yesterday. Spending today driving 610 miles to pick up a new ‘22 F-150 farm truck. Long way to go, but saving $8K to $10K is worth the 8hr drive!

    Hit a Buck last night...

    Dang!!! Glad you came out unscathed, and the trike needing only minor repairs. Brought back memories of me hitting a 8-point whitetail deer at 55mph on my Honda Magna. Tumbling down asphalt is NOT part of what I consider a stellar day! This event might (should) change how you scan while...

    F3-S Daytona at the drag strip tonight

    Not sure at end of 1/8-mile, as I’m a little preoccupied trying to keep the bike in the middle of the lane, keep my body tucked down, and hit my shift points. But I would bet I was already in 4th at the 1/8-mile mark, and definitely at the top of 5th at the finish. Oh - and, years ago, got my...

    F3-S Daytona at the drag strip tonight

    Did not speed shift it w/out clutch. Just using a quick clutch and partial letup on the throttle. Same as I have done it on my VMaxes, the CTX, and the Magna.

    F3-S Daytona at the drag strip tonight

    Best I remember, I was over 6500 rpm in 5th at the finish line.

    F3-S Daytona at the drag strip tonight

    Well, decided that “on my way out” I’d run one last time. About 40 min after previous run. Good launch, everything felt great. Got to the timing booth and ... they ran out of paper in the printer! And, since another vehicle ran right after I did, my times had been cleared and had no way of...

    F3-S Daytona at the drag strip tonight

    Third pass, 44 min later: ran 13.527 sec @ 101.99 mph. My 60’ was 2.324 sec, 1/8-mile 8.751 sec @ 84.27 mph. Slipped the clutch wayyyyy too much in first ... but it did keep it from hazing the tire! Came right back around and ran again 10 min later: ran 13.582 mph @ 100.70 mph. My 60’ was...
