• 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.

    Road trip to Newfoundland this summer

    Yes, FOXTAIL1 we went about 8 years ago and only went to Red Bay as we were advised the roads were not good from there on. We then went back down to the roads end at Blanc Sabon. At that time we had no problem with the ferrys. Roger

    Road trip to Newfoundland this summer

    Yes, definately do the trip. Cognaccruiser { Gary} and Foxtail1 pretty well have you covered and I also would recommend taking the ferry over to Labrador. There is not a lot there if you stay on the pavement but we enjoyed it and would do it again. Enjoy your trip. Roger

    Thank you UTAHPETE for your understanding of our system.I will not answer Mike back as he will never understand, and I did not lie about our costs or system nor did I run down Mr Trump, all I said was he is working on the health care system and is going to fix it. Have a good day Roger

    Rant about prescription costs

    Blueknight911, I do not know were this FREE health care is you talk of. We all pay but the money is managed better in my opinion. If your system in so much better, why is the US the only country on the planet as you put it that does not have socialized health care, but dont worry, Trump will fix...

    998 Extended Remote Road Trip Oil Change

    I do not like to be the bearer of bad news but I think you better research your trips. I have been up the Dempster Hwy to Inuvik NWT and it was all gravel so I could not believe that it is now paved so I checked on the Yukon travel site travelyukon.com under road trip and it stated UNPAVED. It...

    Rant about prescription costs

    I think we still have one of the best systems in the world no matter what some of your polatitions like to say, For an example, I went to get a stress test and the doctor said something wasnt right. He said he needed to operate and by 6;00 AM the next morning was on the operating table and they...

    Are you retired from or currently working at your "dream" job?

    Yes. MISTERP I should consider adopting someone because when I get to 100 or 105 in a few years and decide to retire I might need help getting under the Spyder to service it HA HA, Heading out right away for my 3 mile daily walk, only -47 below with wind chill. Have a good one. Roger

    Winter/cold weather riding

    No riding today, Temp now is minus 30C [-22 F] below and 44C [-47 F] below wind chill. Not enough snow for snowmobiling but we still walk 3 miles a day outside. Real invigorating. Have a Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year. ROGER

    CB

    I have to agree with Ben but they are pricy. Myself and a riding friend had them installed back in 2012 on our new then RT Ls. They have always worked good for communication with passenger plus radio etc. They do not have CB long range, maybe 1/2 mile but have never been a problem in the 6 years...

    Battery tender 3 amp

    Yes, I check my batterys every week and they hold pretty well constant at 13.2V. I too have some very expensive tools and equipment and you cannot always tell the quality by the price you payed,and I have batterys last 12 years using those CHEAP chargers and have had expensive chargers pack in...

    Battery tender 3 amp

    I too was skeptical about the cheap HF chargers thinking they were likely junk. I also have 4 Schumacher maintainers [$40.00 each] out of originally 6 as two failed along with other expensive chargers you can use for door stops. I have not had one HF maintainer fail and they have maintained some...

    Battery tender 3 amp

    I have been using the exact same Harbour Freight chargers as SPYD3R has for the last 12 years {3 and not yet to have one fail} on my snowmobiles, Quads, and motorcycles, and have had the batterys last 12 plus years. The chargers are plugged in 24/7 365 days a year. Just purchased 4 more here at...

    Short lived Spyder experience

    I also had that problem on the very first service done by the BRP selling dealer. The mechanic stripped the trans. filter screw and it let go blowing oil onto the exaust pipe causing lots of smoke and caught on fire. I got the fire out before causing damage. The shop admitted it was not there...

    I think the rear suspension system of my 2011 RT ltd does not work

    Does your horn work as the compressor is on the same fuse. Do all the other checks as advised but I would think your compessor packed it in as hundreds of others have, a common problem as mine has and my friends both on 2012 RT Limited. If it is, a cheap way and simplest is bypass the...

    Battery trickle charger vs. Battery Tender??

    I believe the BS refers to the last letters on the battery number which indicates bottle fill yourself and not the factory fill. As far as battery maintainers, I also have used the Schumacher maintainers [$40.00] and they work but also use the Harbour Freight maintainers [$6.00] at the time...
