• 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

    Would the confusion be that I bought a 2015, not used, in Feb 2016? I wasn't offered a longer extended warranty and I forgot to ask. I forgot all about Berts and Pitbull selling extended warranties. I have about 7 mos and frankly riding a Spyder without a warranty of some sort, on retirement...

    Holland Burger is in Victorville, about 30 minutes from here. It was featured in Diners, Driveins and Dives. Breakfast and Lunch only. Elmers Bottle Ranch near Helendale. The Wigwam hotel. There are a couple locations but I believe this one is in San Bernardino. I hear the owner is a real jerk...

    Oh I do know. I have lived in it all my life including Death Valley. The heat gets old as you get old.

    I am SO GLAD we live in a country where we have the freedom to enjoy the adventure around every corner. No matter who is in the WH or Congress they cannot take that away from us. God bless our American military.

    I followed most of it and was on some of it on my rides to Spyderfest both in Cuba and Springfield. Never got past Cuba and I don't know if its really worth the effort. But in order to say you did it ya gotta go to Chicago and get a pizza. I do plan to go to Santa Monica on the actual highway...

    Murphybrown's Spyder Adventures 2017

    I would have greeted you guys in Barstow, like I always do, but I had an important mission at my daughters house 15 minutes before I was going to my "rally point". I had some PGR buds in the Victorville area on overpasses to greet you. Maybe next year I can participate in RFTW XXX. Its on my...

    Garmin USB port

    This is a stand alone port on the opposite side of the GPS. Not inside the battery compartment. Typically its used to program and update the unit from the internet. I'll try it out soon and tell you my findings.

    Garmin USB port

    Can the micro usb port on the Garmin 595 be used to charge a phone while the GPS is in its cradle?

    Huh?

    It gets better. A FB friend told me that the DMV person wanted her to get a smog certificate on their tent trailer. They went to another window. Re the PTI the DMV notice reads "This fee insures the maintenance of your PTI record on the department's database." It didn't mention what the...

    Huh?

    Gotta hand it to the CA DMV for salesmanship. I was going to pay my $10 for the PTI (permanent trailer identification) on the trailer I tow behind the Spyder, due every 5 years. You can only mail the fee in, no internet. But wait, there's more: you can elect to go non-op for $20. Huh?

    The Adventure Begins, Riding with MS!!!!!!! This is going to be long one......

    Truck lined your bike. There should be a picture there somewhere. An hour away is pretty good unless it has to be trailered. My mechanic (certified Spyder mech, private business) is about 80 miles away on SouCal freeways, meaning you might get there in an hour or two. If you can state the name...

    The Adventure Begins, Riding with MS!!!!!!! This is going to be long one......

    Good thread. TY for sharing. Re the turn signals they are supposed to cancel out automatically after the turn or 30 seconds of driving. But they can be cranky. The tape on the mirror leads me to suspect someone screwed up at the dealer when it was put together (it comes in a crate). It may not...

    Trailer Hitch

    If you mean the BRP hitch I know what you mean. The costs of metal is probably $25. Bending and welding another $25. BRP label, $450.

    Seat belt!

    We have a number of paralyzed ryders on this forum and they all strap themselves in with velcro straps. The sheer strength of a 2 x 2in hook and loop is about 200 lbs. Most owners are probably below that weight. Driving down the highway at 70 mph and you meet a force of equal or greater...

    HELP

    My experience with this forum for the last 8 years has shown it is not image friendly. If it were you would see a lot more images. A LOT MORE.
