• 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.

    Extended Warranty

    Do a Google search on RPM One; you'll find plenty of negative comments. The most basic one is that they quibble over something they say they cover. ken tompkins

    RT-622 Net System Thoughts?

    I use two plastic milk crates. They hold what I want to carry and I can move them over the axle -- a bit forward or back -- depending on my tongue weight. Also with them in place, the small spaces around them are like smaller "containers". I have one crate that is forward and accessible from the...

    Charity Baskets At Spyderfest

    As you probably know, there is a plan to auction STATE baskets at Spyderfest and to give the proceeds to a children's charity. Other state groups are selecting products that represent the state for their basket. Is there any interest in creating a New Jersey basket? ken tompkins

    BRP Owner's Event - June 13 & 14

    Anyone interested in going to this? Lamont's BBQ is on Sat the 15th. The rooms are going fast so we should plan that part of it if anyone is interested. I have some ideas -- having been there before -- but need to know if anyone wants to go. ken tompkins

    Questions About Ultimate Seats

    I'm considering an Ultimate seat. I've read all the comments here about their quality, comfort and the gas tank cover so I am not concerned about these things. I'm trying to choose the right model and am not sure -- from the online site -- which seat I should purchase. For example, I've looked...

What HAVEN'T you done for the Spyder community and for the cause of safe and reliable riding? I'm sorry if someone has questioned your report on riding the 2013s. An attack on you...

    New Recall Gas Cap Did Not Fix Gas SMell

    Not sure what your source or evidence is for that last sentence. Thousands of us have had Spyders for years (I've had mine since April 2008) and have had few or no problems. If you only read the few negative reports here, you might well get the impression that the Spyder has many problems. But...

    CB

    J & M make an antenna that is specifically matched to the Can-Am CB radio. It should increase the quality and distance of both TX and RX. It replaces the BRP version which, apparently, is not matched. http://www.jmcorp.com/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=CSCBA-300 ken tompkins

    XM Radio

    Anyone have the weather and traffic alerts in their XM radio subscription? There seem to be two kinds: (1) part of the large subscriptions but just covering the major cities and don't seem to offer maps, etc. but just text weather reports. (2) the NavTeq weather and traffic reports provide maps...

    Calendar for Group Rides 2013 NJ,

    How about the Covered Bridge ride that Irishtothemax created -- but never did? I have the list of bridges he chose and a map. They are all in PA up towards the Poconos. How about a weekend to VA specifically Jamestown Fort and Yorktown (Williamsburg too). We could take the ferry to Lewes, ride...

    What Was Your First Car?

    Actually, I learned to drive on a tractor -- with steel wheels and no tires -- in IA. For an actual car, I learned in a 1936 Oldsmobile that had been my grandfather's and then, after his death, my father's. My first car was -- would you believe -- a 1926 Chevrolet. It had wooden wheels (33...

    2013 Spyder CB Setup

    Mrs. Gruff..... I'm not sure it applies to the 2013; that's what I'm trying to find out. The more I think about the problem and review BRP schematics, the more I'm convinced that it can't be done. As I see it, there are two problems: (1) the CB implementation requires a special headset and...
