• 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.

    Ever Flip Over When Cornering?

    The first Spyder to flip over that I know, via SpyderLovers, was a GS. He went into a corner that had an oil spill on it. The Spyder slid sideways through the oil, hit clean pavement and flipped. He was able to push the GS off him. Adrenaline? The second I heard first hand from the rider...

    Slang from Oz

    I'm a Yank that lived in Brissie for two years. There are a few words that you should never say in polite society. Stuffed - As in the hostess asks "Would you like more food?" and the response is "No thank you, I'm stuffed." Wrong! Eyebrows will be raised and polite coughing around the...

    A musical moment

    Bob Dylan is a gifted poet/songwriter, but I can only understand half of what he's saying. I'm glad his songs live on.....

    Does this duck need help?

    We have a pond with ducks behind our house. Sounds like a female duck nesting. She will get up and forage when she thinks it's safe. Most domestic male ducks don't hang around after the deed is done so need to worry about him. Ducks are low on the food chain, so will try to act healthy even...

    Find us (SpyderLovers) on Facebook

    I'm on FB and SL. On FB, I keep up with my old SL friends I see maybe once a year or three. On SpyderLovers, I make new friends and help people when I can. I'm a chick, but know a thing or two about mechanics. If I can't help you, I won't post. I've been on other long running forums before...

    Prudhoe Bay Alaska in 2019

    The only time we saw lots of bears was on the ALCAN road. They hang out there waiting for road kill. On a Spyder or motorcycle, you do not want to slow down or stop for a look. They consider you fresh food.

    Prudhoe Bay Alaska in 2019

    It's paved all the way the the Arctic Circle and beyond. There's a gas station half-way between Fairbanks and the AC sign. No need for extra gas cans unless you go further.

    Prudhoe Bay Alaska in 2019

    Maybe that was your experience in a van. We would move to the side of the road and slow down and the semis would too. A little courtesy goes a long way. While on the subject of trucks, there are white company trucks that regularly go up and down the road. If you need help, flag one down and...

    Prudhoe Bay Alaska in 2019

    Get the most recent Mile Post book. It will give you the most up-to-date condition of the road and many others. Bring riding gear for all conditions. Once we got over the Brooks Range, the temps dropped to 35 F in Prudhoe Bay. We had heated gear. AKSpyderman lives outside Anchorage. Go...

    Installing used exhaust

    You should be able to reuse the bolts and spring. Be careful screwing the O2 sensor back in. I think a header gasket and Y gasket are the same thing, BRP calls them slip joints. After about 2k miles they burn out, thus the heat. The Honda Y gaskets last much longer. I've got 50k on mine...

    Loose Mirror Arms

    Maybe the panel nut is stripped, what the screw screws into. Is it easy/sloppy when they're unscrewed?

    Landed in the emergancy room last night

    We ride in the heat a lot down South. There are two ways to tell if you're getting close to heat-stroke. 1- You don't have to pee at the gas station. In that case, chug a bottle of Gaterade, not water. Gaterade has electrolytes in it that replenishes what you've sweated out. 2- You...

    Paper towels have no gender

    I prefer the older Brawny model who was a Robert Redford look-alike. Maybe they're pandering to more gentlemen shoppers? C'mon, look what's plastered across the front of the package. It isn't her face for sure. I want my brawny men back! Ok, "Pick a size" placement is so wrong...
