• 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.

    Chances of a plug in electric Spyder...

    Disagree. Electric powered vehicles are the future and will become the norm. Now, how that power is generated to make them go is another thing altogether. You see, even if it was a fuel cell vehicle... it's still electric. All the future technologies will be using an electric drivetrain. Some...

    Chances of a plug in electric Spyder...

    Yup... saw the one at the homecoming. Talked to the engineers and those who had driven it. They had to pull the DPS because it pulls too much power. We talked about having a trailer with extra batteries in it.. but you're really fighting weight vs. battery power and the numbers currently don't...

    Maggie Valley???

    Sorry about your room troubles. Maggie Valley is very far from the coast...sure, the storm can bring some rain that way... but tornados in the mountains? Not likely... Most rain I've seen up there doesn't last the whole day, nor does it cover the whole mountain.. it gets broken up and...

    Factory/Extended Warranty..what really voids it?

    It's not an 'alleged' act, The magnuson-moss is real. No one is claiming that MM gives you carte blanche to modify without risk. You put new rocker arms in an engine and it blows later... of course they'll deny a claim on that.. with good reason. What they CANNOT do is say they won't cover your...

    Maggie Valley???

    You're correct... I guess I kind of generalize the whole 'Smokies' area.. but yes.. those first events were on the Gatlinburg side. I much prefer the Maggie Valley side... less tourist crap.. Besides.. they tore down 'Smokies bar' and made it into a parking lot! :gaah: I've often wondered...

    Factory/Extended Warranty..what really voids it?

    Nothing you do to your Spyder can just 'void' your warranty.. at least here in the USA. The Magnusen-Moss Warranty Act protects us. What CAN happen is if you perform a modification and a related part was to fail, BRP can choose not to cover that particular failure. If you did a bunch of...

    KIRKET BELT TENSION

    Good info to share. You should also take a belt reading in three places on the belt and average them, especially on a new belt. I've always done my readings on the ground... around 160 seems good.

    Maggie Valley???

    Anyone going to Maggy Valley next week for the event? I'll be there with Wacky Dan tearing up some twisties…. Maggie Valley was the original event where many of us met for the first time back in 2009 or 2010 along with the BBQ's at Lamont's place. Did that for a few years and then it changed...

    THIS MAKES ME MAD!!

    You're wasting your time trying to fight against those with off the charts cognitive dissonance.... all the rational talk and fact sharing in the world won't change some minds.....

    THIS MAKES ME MAD!!

    Guess the whole 'no politics' rule is no longer in effect? :dontknow: Most of this 'off topic' area is quite the cesspool.... people posting fact-less garbage and then blasting their politics, hate and fear. Some of it is as bad as the Facebook wars about politics..... #sad

    CALIFORNIA TO OUTLAW STRAWS

    Really??? Let's see.... illegal immigration has continued to go DOWN over the past 30 years. Crime (school crime in particular) has continued to go DOWN over the past 50 years. Budget? California is doing just fine, 5th largest economy in the world. They pay more into the fed than they take...

    F3 long reach bars

    Long reach = you're reaching longer. Short reach = you're reaching shorter. I put the short reach ones on, foot pegs in position 4 and run a Corbin seat with Ultimate/Lamonster backrest. The Corbin sits a bit further back and maybe down and the short reach bars feel really good to me.
