• 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.

    Helmets

    I didn't suggest that you shouldn't wear a helmet, my examples were not statistical, they were real patients, not anecdotal stats, their helmets were pressed backwards, rotating on the axis of their head, shearing their spinal cord. Both had less than 1 year riding experience. I could probably...

    Helmets

    While you are quoting stats, what stats show the years of riding experience? I don't always wear a helmet, in SC it is a personal choice, but I see these younger sports bike riders, full face helmets with video cameras on top of the helmet, I see them burning off their tires, slinging rubber...

    Offical Recall @ NHTSA

    Made an appointment for mine after the service guy looked up my SN and told me mine was on the list. I've got mixed emotions, great to have the repairs done, but this is the second recall for my bike, I had a suspension recall fixed when it was in for the 600 mile service. I'd not counted on...

    New enabled Spyder rider. Adaptions and advice needed. Is there a Walker holder?

    My wife had her right hip repaired just over a year ago. When I remind her, she will step up on the right driver floorboard, then swing her left leg over to the left driver's board, then scoot back into the passenger seat, then I can swing through with my right leg to the right side by stepping...

    Many New High end Motorcycles now provide similar Nanny functionality as the Spyder.

    Mixed emotions about the Honda Goldwing with the airbag, the video they had when they first listed them as an option showed, to me, anyway, that it launched the driver higher, thus a longer trajectory before they hit the pavement. I've been trying to decide how far out into the state of North...

    Hauling Your Spyder While Pulling a Camper

    http://www.campingworld.com/rvsales/Pop-Up/2006/Fleetwood-Scorpian/293701/ This may be what you need. A little less conventional than some thinking, but will likely save fuel in the long run. If you can track one down. Doc

    Future Enabled rider questions

    I don't think the most "popular" heat problem would be a problem, depending on how far BK your amputation is, if you are just above the ankle, possibly, but, fairly close to the knee joint, it should not be any bother at all. . I'm dealing with the heat problem that appears to be the most...

    Getting a motorcycle license

    This looks like an ADA question. The Americans with Disabilities Act, www.ada.gov forbids requirements that will restrict someone that is otherwise capable of operating a vehicle from obtaining a license, I've heard of others that, for example, has the ability to operate a car, but had Spina...

    The dreaded right foot french frier

    Tested the Kwik Kamp, ultimate test. Rewired the 5 wire to match the 4 wire from the bike, tested the continuity, and took it down to Auto Zone, and as I left, I got stopped by a cop! He had parked his K-9 vehicle diagonally in front of the bike! Someone has a signature line that says something...

    MPG'S

    You might need to take a look at the front of your Spyder, in profile they aren't all that much different, but you are pushing a much bigger cycle through the wind, I had a GL1800 and could get about 40 mpg, when I moved to my sidecar with a 500 cc smaller displacement, I dropped to 30-32 on a...

    The dreaded right foot french frier

    I remounted my Blocking plate, this morning and rode down to the VA to help some of the vets figure how to access their health records, and, again had no issues, ambient temp was about 100-103, however, I didn't have to sit for very long, so the object seems to be keep on movin' on. I'd been...

    The dreaded right foot french frier

    That's kind of what I thought, but that is kind reminiscent of the old phaetons of yesteryear, I like the idea, just not sure it would work, like you said, on the 2013's But it is a very imaginative modification,:clap: Doc

    The dreaded right foot french frier

    The only mod I've made was after I experienced the problem that was the start of this thread. I'm not real big on modifications that change the function of the vehicle. I am completely in agreement with you, the Spyder is a great vehicle, and I didn't know that "the steering wheel hit my knee,"...

    The dreaded right foot french frier

    I would agree, except I found nothing in the manual that says, "We've had this heating problem for several years, and you are going to have to live with it." I wasn't told that, when I bought my RT-S either. I'm also thinking that another part of the solution might be if we can hook a high...

    The dreaded right foot french frier

    I'm glad that you've got a solution, and my solution was good until I was waiting at a gas station, and got the orange, I'm hotter than Halle Berry in Catwoman! screen. Of course the ambient temperature was at 104, so it may not be a true failure, but we, as owners, shouldn't have to come up...

    Heres a cheap mod for added visibility.

    I've done that on my Spyder, it really does show up well with external lighting. Doc

    PEOPLE OVER 35 SHOULD BE DEAD...

    I'd got my first ticket when I was 9, we were just outside of the Haynesville woods, in upper Maine, my Dad was asleep in the back of the station wagon, (does anyone still make them) with the back seat folded down, the officer didn't see any driver, and pulled us over. I had a panic attack...

    MIRACLE OR NOT JUST UNBELIEVABLE

    Our hospital was a teaching facility, not just for nursing, but, interns, residents, and fellows. The military has often been used by each other for learning situations. If you have been in the military you start out right away, they call them "battle buddies" now, he covers you, and you covers...

    The dreaded right foot french frier

    My wife and I decided to go for a quick ride before dinner this evening, I decided to go down to the Fort Jackson Recreation Area, a military lake and camping area about 15 miles, I guess, from the house. We rode about 2 miles uphill behind a overweight pulp truck struggling to get up a steep...

    The dreaded right foot french frier

    Thanks Chris, I'd not had as much problem with the lower "black hole" I could get my foot rearward on the floorboard enough to get away from there, the upper, for me was the serious fry cook for me. I know the heat there, if left in place, would cause, at the least, a first degree burn to the...
