• 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.

    DPS recall rant

    Flooding is still very bad in ND, southwest Manitoba, and southeast Saskatchewan. It's not on the major E-W highways, although the Trans-Canada was closed several days earlier on. Anyway, the part is being shipped tomorrow by overnight express, so hopefully it won't be a kid on a bicycle and...

    Resurrection...looking for Goldwing quiet...

    Not to hijack this thread, but where are the C3's available from? I've a C2 and will want a C3 but I didn't think Schuberth had a North American distributor. Thanks, Rod.

    SPYDER FEST 2011 DE MAGOG

    The website still says it's under construction. :dontknow: http://www.club-spyder.com/spyderfest.html I saw on their forum that their webmaster had quit, so maybe that's why posting the info is delayed. I've asked on their forum if anyone can give me the info.

    SE5 vs SM5 old debate

    I've a GS SM5 and an RT SE5. Whatever turns your crank, but the 'sport bike' needs a manual while the touring model with a semi-automatic is perfect. YMMV.

    Is this ghetto or creative ?

    Yes. But I know that I need my tunes so whatever works is OK.

    Older Ryders

    As my 25 year old daughter says, "I don't bounce as well as I used to." And, as I say: "The best best way to avoid an accident is to not be there when it happens." So, as I preach to my 23 year old son: "Situational awareness."

    Washing spyder without a water hose.

    Once it's cooled off, I use a hand sprayer with Windex-like cleaner for the whole bike. Works well on everything in my experience. YMMV.

    RT vs RS

    Here's 2 more cents from someone with both Spyders. As many others have said, the mods I did on my GS were to make it a better tourer, for both single and 2-up rides. I'm keeping the RT and selling the GS. YMMV.
