• 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.

    Taking The Spyder Fishing

    I had bought one of those 5 piece rods that fit nicely in the trunk. Unfortunately, during the 3rd cast, the top 2 pieces flew off breaking the line and landing in the lake. There's nothing like a 'real' fishing rod anyway.

    warranty/recall concerns

    Congratulations on your new spyder. I don't believe there is a recall per se for the SE5. There are a couple of service bulletins that only come into play when your machine displays those particular symptoms.

    That's a good one Jim... at least the cigar was tasty.

    Taking The Spyder Fishing

    Well, I made it to the lake and back with no problem. I too have considered tying another pole to the other side. By strapping the handles into the rear seat handles, they do not interfere with mounting or dismounting (unless your other half wants to join you).

    Taking The Spyder Fishing

    Since my spyder takes a backseat to my main hobby, fishing, I thought it would be neat if I could combine the two. With plenty of room in the trunk for tackle, cigars and refreshments, my only problem was affixing the fishing rod to the spyder. Does this look too tacky?

    An Introduction and Questions

    Sometimes the 'nanny' can be a little overbearing; as while accelerating into a turn from a stop. But, I suppose the pros outweigh the cons. :shocked:

    SM5 or SE5

    Well, I have done it a few times (just to prove it could be done :lecturef_smilie:). The last time my machine was serviced, the tech had just returned from a mandatory BRP class in which they frowned heavily on smoking the rear tire. Not sure what kind, but said chips could enter the...

    SM5 or SE5

    There's no secret... just let go of the brake, and jam the throttle... if it doesn't squeal the rear tire, something is wrong with the machine.

    King of speed (not Spyder related)

    When I was stationed in Korea, you could always tell when the blackbird was coming or going... extremely loud sonic boom that shook the quonset hut.

    SM5 or SE5

    You might want to have your machine checked out. I have smoked the rear almost all the way through first and then some in second with my SE5. Now that the GPS replacement seems to have cured my shifting problems, I don't see any advantage of a manual clutch (except to save some dinero).

    Duck!

    That was one NASTY storm. The two who died lived just a few miles south of me in Murfreesboro. Several homes destroyed. This is a short video I took during the storm: http://s277.photobucket.com/albums/kk44/Degaman88/?action=view&current=MVI_7860.flv

    what is the dumbest question you have been asked

    One that comes to mind was, "Is that rear wheel drive?"

    VIN numbers

    Checked mine and it shows 10/08. It must have been one of the first 09 SE5 models built, and that is probably why it had the bad GPS installed.
