• 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.

    Newbie ! I need a little help please !

    odometer is key I reset my odometer at every fill up. So even when my low fuel light goes on, I still know my target range for mileage. You learn quick what is safe and what is pushing it. Gauges are way more accurate on your HD. My other bike is a Kawasaki Ninja. When you get down to one bar...

    Front end noise I can't figure out

    2012 RTS SM5 Noise coming from the front left side, usually when the wheel is turned and just starting to move through to second gear. Like a high pitched metal chirping sound. Reminds me of a brake pad wear indicator on a automobile. Never happens in a straight line. Don't hear it at...

    I need an ark not a Spyder

    Spent a few hours detailing. Went for a ride on a nice sunny day. 10 minutes out and the temperature dropped ten degrees, wind picked up and torrential rain. Stuck under a canopy. I am not getting the bike wet today!!! This sucks

    Your opinion on ABS on trikes - good / bad

    Sorry I write a lot of technical papers and I should have used paragraphs. Readers digest version: If you have a three wheel HD and you hammer the rear brake pedal on dry asphalt you are not going to enjoy the ride. You will go side ways and tip, especially if you have a passenger. If it's...

    Your opinion on ABS on trikes - good / bad

    I love posts like this one. I get to offer my opinion as a collision reconstructionist, and here it is. I would tell you it's a balance between what you are used to versus what is actually better and safer technology. Motorcycle riders are categorized into three groups. Novice, intermediate, and...

    First motorcycle crash of the season.

    Bikes came out on Saturday out at my neck of the woods. 4 days later we have our first bike crash. As usual appears the driver of the car was at fault. I know the area, car would have run a stop sign or proceeded before safe after stopping. I have noticed the car drivers aren't used to sharing...

    Finally out of hibernation omg my insurance rates!!!!

    I am thinking of doing some research on this topic and sending them a letter. Which they likely ignore. Because they are the only show in town. I carry a package policy which is only $150. Makes no sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Finally out of hibernation omg my insurance rates!!!!

    Hey Maxson. Which dealer did you buy your Spyder from. Have you taken delivery yet? I was out your way last weekend for the kids spring hockey camp. Dropped in at the Yamaha and Honda dealer during down time. I get out your way in the summer for baseball or if cutting through to Alberta to...

    Finally out of hibernation omg my insurance rates!!!!

    So I was pretty busy this weekend with the kid, but I did notice a lot of motorcycles out and about. So late this afternoon I uncovered the Spyder and started her up. She started no problem. Ran real good for about thirty seconds and stalled. Was a little hard to start, but did get it going...

    SHIFT POINTS ON MY 2012 SPYDER RTS SM5

    Agree 100 percent. I have the same bike and year. Typically I shift between 3500 and 4500 to match my style of driving. BUT, I have gone toe to toe with the odd sport car of a red light who thought they could burn by me and and cut me off on the lane change. Not a chance, very high rpm shift and...

    2014 RTL PULLING TO THE RIGHT?

    I am thinking same..road or allignment Roads are crowned in such a way that you would feel a pull to the right. Vehicle alignment is set up to compensate for this a little bit. Not sure if that applies to Spyder. There have been times I have had the same sensation. At 60 kmh I think that's...

    iPhone 5S Compatibility

    clarification? I am not sure what you mean by adapter. I have a 5S mounted on the center of the handlebars in a ram mount weather box. I don't plug it into a power source for charging. It has enough batter to last me the day. If I want to listen to music I blue tooth it through the my helmet...

    Woman searched for her MIA husband for 68 years - you'll never believe what she found

    That was a great video. Amazing closure. Sad in a way she never allowed herself to move on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Trying to break the harley addiction

    I think people are attracted to the nostalgia of a HD over most other things. The Spyder is in a class of its own. I like the feeling in a curve on a two wheeler of being sucked down into the seat because the bike leans and how effortless it is. Took a while to get used to the Spyder wanting to...

    Tire Pressure Monitors

    I wouldn't do them. All my cars have them, and I find them to be a pain in the ass. Why put it on a motorcycle? I don't know of it on a two wheel, sure wont put it on three.
