• 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.

    Wheels that made me want to rob a bank

    Scotty is right of course, from a functional standpoint they just don't work. And they look fairly ridiculous anyway. But that is just my twisted opinion. I'm leaning more towards getting some quality adapters and then running a nice 15 inch wheel and 225/50's all the way 'round. Had a talk...

    RT vs RS

    RS all the way for me. No knock on the RT but I perasonally don't like the look of it. Definitely wouldn't be happy with the performance or the fuelly of the RT either, so I'll stick with the RS thank you!

    Gloves and winter riding...suggestions please

    I like these, Orange. I looked at them but went with Alpinestars WR-2s. Got a good deal on them, and they will be my first Gore-Tex glove. So far so good, and they have already had a bit of a test as we have had both cool temps and rain. But I am waiting to see how they hold up when things get...

    MOTO GP starts this weekend, anyone else watch this

    Well, the last race of the season proved to be pretty entertaining after all. When Stoner pulled away early I thought "well that's that". Then Dovi (the jerk) took out Bautista and things just got more interesting from there. The last few laps were great. I was really hoping that Ben could get...

    SM5 shifter question

    Balls of the feet on pegs here. Feels more positive and balanced. Unless I'm in the heavy traffic, then we are a little closer to "covering" the controls. I've got the shifter adjusted to where it's an easy slide forward to get my foot under or over.

    40-45 mph shimmy

    Yup, I was thinking unbalanced tire as well. weights fall off etc. Also check your ball joints, tie rod ends and so forth as well. If this developed just recently, think about any possible deltas or what happened on the ride before this started. I know you said you didn't hit anything, but were...

    FYI, cats love the Spyder.

    Squirrels are very clever animals and can do amazing things! We play with the troop around our place and it's pretty much a hoot! So far none of the critters have messed with either one of ours...

    Spyder Sightings

    On Wednesday, 2 November, approximately 1600hrs while at GP Sports in San Jose I was picking up my FA after some routine maintenance and I saw a bronze RSS on Camden Ave. I waived but the rider didn't see me.

    Just curious-why did you buy a Spyder?

    Why Spyder? I broke my back 12/17/1987. Took three years to get back on my feet and when the doctors released me back into the wild they told me no more bikes (I was injured on the job but rode a friend's 550 super sport back in the day). I've also had numerous tumors removed from my head which...

    I hear very good things about these Bike Barn covers. They look great! And I see they make one just for the Spyder, which is very cool. A fine choice, Sir!

    Lesson learned, beware!

    Gotta say, youngin, that is pretty clever indeed. As long as law enforcement doesn't seem to have an issue with it, I'd say you're golden. HA! Youngin... Been wantin' to say that to someone other than my nephews for a while now! :roflblack: Now that I'm 50 I get to say ****e like that!!

    Lesson learned, beware!

    I know, man. Those pipes are great. I love them and sure would love putting them on, but my neighbors would hate me for sure! The Hindle is loud enough (yes, I still have this thing on!) and I dare not go any louder. I was going to put the stock can back on but it's so ugly I just can't bring...

    More Motorcycle Silliness

    Not bad. Not bad at all!! :clap: Normally I'm not too much into stunting, especially when it's done out on the street and endangers innocents. But in a controlled environment like this seemed to be these guys can do some pretty awsome stuff! In fact in can be downright entertaining! Thanks for...

    Spyder Sightings

    On 28 October @ about 1730 hrs I was in the Hillsdale Shopping Center Parking lot, more toward the Southern end by Macy's and I saw I nice Blue RS parked just eight or nine stalls up from me. I was on 14 of course! Funny 'cause when I first got there there were no other bikes in this area of the...
