• 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.

    December Weather News

    Took a ryde yesterday. Was 76*F, clear and calm. Snapped a pic by a canola field about 2 miles from my house. Textbook south Texas weather. Then ... the front blew through about 8:30pm. Woke up this morning to 27*F air temps with winds 25mph, gusts to 35mph. Only up to 30*F at 1:10pm local...

    December Weather News

    Today’s report from sunny south Texas: high 60’s*F early this AM with fog here and there. Cleared off to a bright, sunny day, temps in mid to high 80’s*F with ~15mph SE winds in late afternoon. The spousal unit rode the CTX1300 with me to supper about 5PM, both of us sporting short sleeved...

    My South Texas ryde today

    Left just before noon, returned just about sunset. Headed west about 40 miles for lunch at a favorite sandwich shop, then meandered my way southeast down small two-lane country roads, and finally ended up on US281 right at the southernmost border. And I do mean - right at the border. You can see...

    Random thought for the day

    ^^^^ Words to live by - in light of the fact that I am heading out this weekend for another Enduro race with my daughter. Right at 400 entrants! At 58, I am getting too old for this crap!!!! My knee and wrist still aren’t 100% from the last Enduro, about 1.5 months ago ...

    Random thought for the day

    Saw this on another forum a while back, thought it was funny ... A husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, “You Can Be The MAN Of Your House!”. He stormed to his wife in the kitchen and announced, “From now on, you need to know that *I* am the man of this house and my word is...

    Review: F3-S Gauge spoiler vs Route 129

    Gwolf - only have the one ride, on a 90*F+ day. Was wearing my mesh armored jacket. Not unbearable, but was noticeable.

    Review: F3-S Gauge spoiler vs Route 129

    Yes ... looking well over the top of the Route 129. Thought about PlastiDip or similar, but would really like to still be able to see through it. May take it to a pro and see if they can film tint it on the underside.

    Wondering what Spyder F3-T Mileage is?

    Lots of variations in MPG just at different cruising speeds. Should get around 33mpg at 75+ mph, and around 45 or better if you keep it around 63 to 65mph.

    Review: F3-S Gauge spoiler vs Route 129

    For the ‘17 Daytona, wanting a little more wind protection than the stock gauge spoiler, but don’t want a big windshield blocking all the air. Just to take some pressure off the chest at freeway speeds. The Route 129 seemed to be the best fit size-wise, but had seen LOTS of negative reviews on...

    Looking to ship my 2018 Sypder

    Had HaulBikes deliver my F3-S Daytona from Dearborn, MI, to south Texas (1,375mi). Not a scratch on it, very happy. Reasonable price, but wasn’t real quick about getting the shipping started. First-class semi rigs.

    Does UHaul rent a trailer to tow a Spyder?

    Used a UHaul 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer to haul a ‘15 F3-S. Just make sure you get one with the double-doors, and NOT the roll-up door. Will need some ramps to help load/unload (we had them, bike dealer had them, as well). $30 a day, if you bring it back where you got it from.

    Anyone recommend a good Corded tire inflator?

    Have been carrying a SuperFlow HV40A2 for several years now. Rigged a 12v weatherproof outlet on the CTX, but on the Spyder it’s easy enough to remove the frunk liner to access the battery. Carry compressor, tools, and rain gear in the frunk. All my family members have one in their autos, as...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finally got a set of Continental ContiProContact fronts (165/60R15) delivered. Got them swapped on and balanced, and I installed them back this evening. So, finally, 3 new, good tires. Test ride will have to be another day.

    applause for factory installer.

    Understand totally. Pulled both front wheels on my F3S Daytona today for tire replacement. Took all my strength pushing with my foot on my 1/2” drive ratchet to get the first lug nut loose on right wheel. However, no joy on the next two. Called on my Kobalt 24v 1/2” drive electric impact. Still...

    What Phone mount options are there for drag bars?

    What is available for the factory drag bars on the F3-S Daytona? Will probably add a weatherproof 12v cigarette-style outlet near the center of the bars, as well, if I cannot find a suitable solution with a built-in 12v / USB integrated with phone mount. Would like to keep all near the center...

    Need to Tow my 2018 RT - any options? Does U-haul have a suitable trailer?

    I used HaulBikes to get the Daytona from Michigan to south Texas. Was ~$900, which I thought pretty reasonable. Wait was about 4 weeks. But, all 1st class rigs and treatment.

    Need to Tow my 2018 RT - any options? Does U-haul have a suitable trailer?

    If you don’t tell them what you’re actually putting in there ... a U-Haul enclosed 6x12 with double swing-out doors has fit our F3-S into it. Might double-check the width of the RT, but I would think it is the same. Make SURE you get the double swing doors; the opening on the roll-up door is not...
