• 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.

    BRP a front for AARP?

    July 12, 1951, coming up on 58 years. HOpe I'm as happy as this guy who was 73. Wonder what he smokes in that pipe. Actually these two were host and hostess at the Pella Tulip Festival in Iowa this last May. Looks more like an old sea captain than a Dutch citizen.

    Carrying extra fuel?

    Here's an idea :D What really needs to be done is BRP stage emergency fuelling depots along the whole route to and from their annual Spyder Owners Events. ( I really do hope that BRP makes these rally's an annual event ) They could be just simple 55 gallon drums of fuel strategically...

    Just seen this thread.... question. dtang: what does 3 gallons by 7 lbs/ gallon do to your tongue weight on your trailer? Of course planning is everything, but this summer when I travel to Yellowstone, there will be days when I take back roads... ( non-interstate) and worry about gas...

    Okay, Who'd pay to get rid of the 'Read Card' Message?

    Uh... What card? When I installed my GPS over the dash, I removed that piece. ( As the bolts go down through the dash) But add me to the list for a nanny. Supposedly, if you stop and start within a few seconds... minutes... the notice doesn't appear. I've tried to fill my gas tank...

    This should get people talking

    Well I hope that TV on the rear of Roadster No. 1 is not analog as were set to go digital June 12th ! The passenger foot pegs are replaced with boards. The windshield is obviously adjustable, but the dash is bigger (taller and shadier) ... it's definitely hiding more gadgets than the...

    This should get people talking

    this was the reason BRP did not want us to over-fill the gas tank

    It strikes me as somewhat funny.... aka1004..... you hear "metal buckling" ??? Are you sure you are on a Spyder or is this a submarine passing 5000 ft :clap::clap: But I will keep this in mind, never thought of it, but have always topped off, and then usually start driving. Never open up the...

    Hearing is one Thing, Seeing Another

    Yes, it was wonderful no one seriously hurt. Just called bro-in-law and both he and his wife are stiffening up.... to be expected.... but still nothing seriously wrong. Glad they did not hit the car in front of them, that would have been worse for sure. The Highway Patrol did come, as...

    Hearing is one Thing, Seeing Another

    Pulled my new Alumna MCT Trailer from Kansas City to Lake of the Ozarks Friday night and returned Sunday Nights. Total miles on with trailer in tow was about 360 miles. The L.E.D. lights on the trailer are very bright and make the whole rig much more noticeable. The tongue weight on my...
