• 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.

    Keeping your Spyder Clean

    Motel mgrs get pissed at bikers that do that. Better idea, ask mgr for some old towels that you can use on the bike. They usually will go overboard helping as they don't want their good stuff ruined by grease. Last place, the guy gave me some towels, offered a large bucket (those little ice...

    Handy capeable

    MMG welded/bolted a carrier along the left side of their hitch for me. I wheel up, jump onto the bike, turn sideways and fold up the wheelchair and slip it in the rack. With the RT, you'd have to extend the mount outward to clear the saddlebag. I had to get the mirror extentions as the chair...

    Bringing the Adapted Spyder Home this week. Tips/Advice?

    Ensure your wheelchair is tied down tight...I use a couple of bungees and a ratchet tye down these days. The "locking" on my "Tilt n Tote" was useless, locking bolt vibrated loose and the chair fell off on freeway. Welcome to the Rat Packwelcome

    A question for all Spyder owners.

    with a missing right leg, Spyder is my only choice. I had a bad battery and a bad coil replaced under warranty. Didn't have the steering problems that others had but the dealer put in the computer upgrade any way. As others have said, having a great Service Mgr helps the experience. Mine is...

    1st Ride needed for Motorcycle Road Test

    I understand your problem as I am a right leg amputee with 28 years of riding Honda 2 wheelers before I lost the leg. I talked to a lot of folks, read all I could find about Spyders before buying one. Using a clutch handle and cable from Yamaha (it was the right size) I ran the cable down and...
