• 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.

    Garmin Observation

    I presently have 3 Garmins. 2 Nuvis & a Zumo 660. Just looked at my Nuvi 2589LMT and it has the glass like screen you describe. I will use it on my Spyder & see how it is in direct sunlight. Have always kept the Nuvis for use in my cars.

    I have a pleasant problem

    Once those seeds of doubt about your safety/stability on 2 wheels have entered your subconscious there is no getting rid of them. Sell the 2 wheels.

    Thanks Billy. No worries about the wiring harness. I can handle that just as long as the hitch fits my GS

    problem O2 sensor on 2008 spyder? info on O2 eliminator?

    Peter I am aware it enrichens the mixture over the entire engine operating range, but not by much. I have 45,000 km with it on. The spark plugs are always looking just fine when I do the winter servicing. It totally cured the idle speed "hunting" the engine was doing. As you well know, a lot of...

    USPS is confused

    IMO, that's not fair on Pierre if USPS screws up. Just wait & be patient. The chances are great that it will turn up. As people have said, USPS routing has a mind of it's own. I know, as I have suffered from it with packages coming from the US to Canada.

    Bought mine in 2012 without a warranty. Maintain it myself and am almost 81. Getting up off the floor is the hardest part, followed by seeing what I am doing when working under it.

    April's weather news

    I normally plate my Spyder on April 1st. However in Quebec and Ontario you would be considered a pariah if you went out riding to enjoy yourself. The upcoming weather is somewhat irrelevant.
