• 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.

    The Garmin does like to reroute you if the auto recalculation is not turned off. Do you know why the voice on the GPS is a women's? . . . No guy would every nag you as much as she does.

    Back on the Spyder after surgery...

    He wasn't convinced when you turn to your girl friend and ask if that was OK to say. Get well soon and don't over do it. I had my gallbladder taken out right after Spyderfest 2, it was attached to my kidneys which were coming out. 10 days in the hospital then two days latter I'm back on the GS...

    video of Motorcycle gangs in NY .....

    The rider that got hurt was in the group that had stopped but stayed at his bike. Too bad he he was in the path of escape and got hit. I saw the door being opened. Most if not all cars lock the doors once you go over a set speed. Why was the door unlocked?

    Trip planning software....

    I have both Delorme and Street Atlas and hate parts of Street Atlas and parts of DeLorme. - Selecting a route is SOOOO much easier with DeLorme. Pick a start and stop and the route is calculated. - Insert stops anywhere you like and the route is recalculated immediately. Street makes you...

    video of Motorcycle gangs in NY .....

    Based on the video and news reports this is what I understand happened. There had been over 200 police complaints about the bikers. The bikers where traveling faster than the SUV and were passing it. The SUV was just stuck in the middle of the passing group. The biker that got hit is shown...

    A friend of mine was in a serious motorcycle accident yesterday.

    Seeing that the bike hit the front right fender not further towards the back suggests the van turned in front of them at the very last second, no way to miss the van. I hope your friends hell quickly. :pray::pray::pray:

    Change the air in your tires!

    At my first real job I was told to go get a bucket of stream. I returned a few minutes later with a bucket of steam. I had filled a upside down bucket and put a lid on it. I guess I was the first to return with the steam and not just scratch my head.

    Poker Run

    Sounds like my first Poker run. Spent more time at the bars (waiting on them as we don't drink) than riding and few would even talk to us.

    Anyone Ride Year Round in Northern Climates?

    I'm located at the north state line in Illinois and ride year round. Dry roads, no salt visible, and only during the daylight hours (black ice at night). I ride down to 15 deg. and put about 3K on October to April. :ohyea: The first two years no heated gear. Now have a Venture heated jacket...

    Rear air suspension cycling too much??

    Mine adjusts all the time. Not just being pumped back up but letting air out. When I stop you can feel the rear end go up and down until it reaches the set height again.

    US Marine Corps Motorcycle Safety Study

    Its not just the young drivers distracted while texting. I had a car weaving going down I-74 in IL today. When I passed the driver who was in her 50's I saw that she was holding a notepad behind the steering wheel and hand a pen in her hand. It looked like she was proofreading the document while...

    Here's a look at the 2014 Can-Am Spyder lineup

    After the issues with the '13 I was not thinking about getting another Spyder :dontknow: But BRP has answered many of our Spyder wish list that I think one is in my future. :thumbup: May not be a '14 but I most likely have one in a year or so. Thank you BRP :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

    2 wheel GL1800 Goldwing vs Spyder fun factor question?

    Sorry this post has turned so negative, normally Spyder owners are pretty open minded. The video just pushed the wrong buttons as Pirate stated. One up the stock RT will lean to the outside of the turn and feel unstable even if it is just fine. Remember this if you rent one. Adding the Baja...

    12 Years ago----- Today

    I remember I was at work that day when we first heard it on the radio. We soon had 10 people standing around a 13" TV with more snow than actual video. Watched a replay of a bunch of personal video clips from that day put together to cover almost every minute. Got so :mad: I had to turn off...
