• 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.

    Bushtec trailer wiring harness

    The 4-pin connector combines the turn signals and assumes the trailer does not have separate turn bulbs. I wired up a simple/emergency 6-pin but both brake and turn use the amber lights on the Bushtec. Best to get and install the Bushtec harness.

    Picking up a 2015 Spider Tue - now Home!

    I have a 15 RT. VERY happy with it. I came from years and miles on Beemers, and with my wife's 08 RS. If you haven't already, read the do's and don'ts. It drives much different than a 2-wheeler, and I will not go back. Above comments are good. The RT is a fantastic machine. Enjoy!

    Windshield vent useless?

    15 RT - I have the vent and it greatly reduces the back pressure (on my back) and takes away most of the turbulence on the top of my helmet. W says it helps 'smooth the air' for her, too. JMHO

    Hope I didn't make a huge mistake!!!

    5 1/2 years ago i moved to Spyder RTS after ~300K miles on BMWs. Knew Spyders from W's 08, so when left knee became questionable, Spyder was natural choice. I also recommend working with MotorCycleDave as he knows SENA. We went with Schuberth helmets which are now SENA-compliant. Happy with...

    Manual vs automatic transmission.

    After 60+ years on two wheels, i test rode the SE6 ('auto') and fell in love! That was in '15. Still love it! Admittedly, sometimes i miss the leans AND i absolutely LOVE that is does NOT fall over. AND i do not have to avoid gravel parking lots. The only thing i 'miss' (sort of) is the front...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Put his winter cover on and set up the smart charger.

    Cold weather gear discussion

    We got Aerostich suits years ago. Got them large enuf for layering under. My RT is quite different air-flow wise from my Beemers. We kept the heated jacket liners and they are good. I was in denial initially about wearing the liner close skin, but it works well. Installed adjustable...

    Increasing Visibility?

    The fogs on my RTS are almost always on - mostly for the added visibility. I did the same on previous 3 Beemers, and it proved to work in more than one instance. The only downside I can think of is bulb life from constant use. They also help on local/unlit streets at night.

    Sad day.

    So sorry to hear. They really can get to be OLD FRIENDs. Hope your insurance works out. Sometimes a lawyer can be of help. I agree with MONK - their first response is just that. A starting place for negotiations. Good luck.

    I have a pleasant problem

    60 years of 2 wheels . . . Including 200,000 + miles on BMWs. Wife had decided she wanted to ride, but at 4'10" her options were limited. In 08 Spyders came out, she got one, we built it into a touring ryde (I of course had to try each mod for does it work). So when i was taken out by Lyme...

    Hydration on long rides

    We use camelbacks - mine on my back, w's on the trunk rack. Stop for gas, fill em up with water/icd, ride till empty. Works well for us for miles and miles. Even to Northern Canada. Even in triple digit temps.

    Deer Deterrent

    I had one on each of my Beemers. On one trip we encountered several herds of elk. When i saw the elk, i remembered i had not turned on the hornet, so I did so. All immediately were heads up and looking at us. I had apparent good results with the local white tails also. One is going on the RT...
