• 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.

    How many came off a Goldwing, BMW or Harley dresser

    I've had a lot of bikes in the past 35 years or so, including VTX1800 and Goldwings. I traded my Goldwing in 2012 for an RT Limited for none of the common health reasons. I'm well built and psychically fit, I was just board with the wing and wanted to ride something different and exciting. I...

    Frunk release button?

    I have a 2012 limited with the frunk button, works while the key is in on the position with or with out the engine running. Although I belive it as to be in park or at least neutral with the engine runing. My spyder is still under wraps up here in the north east so I can not check. the button...

    Trade in value?

    It's also worth remembering in some states you only pay tax on the difference between trade and the new bike. You may get a little extra selling privately but take into account that extra tax you will pay on the full price of the new bike. I like the idea of the 2014 torque especially coming...

    Metro Air Force Blaster - Classic

    I got the classic blaster as a gift from the kids one year and love it. It blows filtered warm air in every nook and cranny. Posted lots of times about it here, I think the unit it great and purpose built for the job. You will get lots of comments on using leaf blowers, each to there own. You...

    Has anyone tried this tire pressure system

    I have one on my spyder and love it. It's the same thing, same company just a different version and display. I had it on my GL1800 and trailer, it came with 4 sensors, two for the wing and two for the trailer. I took it off the wing when I sold it and put on the Spyder. Not had any issues with...

    NOT happy with BRP

    You shouldn't have too, but some times it pays to record telephone calls. Unrelated; but I work from home and do a lot of conference calls that end up in he said she said situations. I purchased a digital audio recorder from Amazon and now always record my telephone conversions. The files can be...

    Go pro mount area?

    I find that it picks up too much vibration when mounted on the Spyder, the best results I've found is with the chest mount. Position it just right and you can get the spyder dashboard to frame the video at the bottom. The biggest drawback is you look a plonker wearing it, I wore it a Spyder...

    Did You Get To Ride This Weekend?

    New Utopia Back Rest

    Bob is a great guy to work with, he made me some custom hush, hush things which I'm not allowed to take about. I have his utopia on my 12 and love it. I put the removable bracket on so that when my wife's rides with me it gives her more room. Bob will work with you to get what ever you need...

    Spyder Friendly magazines?

    I've been a long time subscriber and fan of road runner magazine, they seem to be unbiased "most" of the time. A lot of other magazine I subscribe too mention the spyder now and again just to keep BRP taking out full page ads. Most of these get it wrong as well, one review mentioned that the new...

    Mapping a route, how to get miles between stops

    If you have one of the Garmin Zumo GPS units you can set your motorcycle fuel limits and warnings. I set my limit 150 miles and to warn me at 130 miles. When the Zumo is in a motorcycle mount it will count down in the bottom right your fuel mileage. Once you get to the warning stage a gas icon...

    If you get a survey from "Clarity Research" don't toss it!

    You can fill out the survey on line as well, although some of the question are odd and geared towards older riders who might have issues holding up two wheels. harry

    My Farkle Money is Leaving Me!

    We have an ATV for doing odd jobs around the house, we stuck a plow on that and use the winch to lower and raise. It quite good fun and often have to fight the kids on who gets to play in the snow with it. Worked out cheaper and way more fun than paying the plowman each time. harry

    I have a problem…

    I don't know about Texas law, we have plenty of members from that state that will chip in. I bought my Spyder from CT, I live in MA, using Sheffield and did not have to pay any tax or registration to CT. I paid the tax and registration when I registered in MA. Call your local RMV I'm sure they...
