• 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.

    New Spyder Ryder. Mileage tips

    Compared to the 28-30 with my 2012, I'm really stoked. I think this current tank will be slightly less mpgs, temps dropped about 15f so combination of denser fuel charge, windshield up, grip, seat, and jacket heaters running. At 181 miles and needle is where I'm usually at for 200 miles...

    WATERPROOF Glove Suggestions

    +1. Have had these for years, along with frog toggs for over the boots. I have literally ridden through hurricanes and a major nor'easter and stayed mostly dry.

    came across this today

    They are cool for what they are. It's a little chinabike with an old technology engine. I looked into them a few years back, did a good bit of research, even looked at going in on a container with some folks. Bottom line was they aren't reliable at all out of the box, but if you want to do...

    New Spyder Ryder. Mileage tips

    Hit 620 on mine, which means not a lot of tanks to compare. I'm running it to right around 200 on the odo, it reads near 1/4 tank and took 4.8 on one fill, 5.2 on another. This is 93 octane eth. I'd like to put the no-eth in but my local station has been out. They don't get the fuel as...

    Another NC Cognac! Welcome!! I work in the RTP area, maybe we can get the Raleigh/Durham Spyders together for a coffee sometime soon.

    Ready for Winter

    2012 Mirrors are the same. I've done the panels off on both my 2012 and my 2014. I went with the wireless controller for the heated gear, the power line for the jacket comes direct from battery (fused of course), and then I poke it out of the gas cap door on my seat (aftermarket seat)...

    Pricing Question

    If it helps any, I sold my 2012 RT A&C with 4k miles, Ronbar, led mirrors, a couple of other farkles for $12,8. Probably could have gotten 13.5 or a little more if I wanted to sit with it, I didn't care to with winter coming up.

    OUT WITH THE V-TWIN

    Welcome to the 2014s!! I'm lovin mine, amazing how much faster I can go in a particular sweeping left hander on the way to work than I could on the 2012, with less effort and no grumbles from nanny. Not entirely sure nanny even lives here, I had to do a fairly exciting escape from a stupid...

    Your opinion please...RT-SE6 vs. RTS-SE6

    If Brewers had a RT SM6 in stock I would have gone with that over the S that I bought. Second spyder so I know what I like, and out of everything the S comes with, the only bit I wanted is the Fog lights. Pillion isn't used much, so rear speakers and rear heat grips is 'meh'. I don't trailer...

    BRP (tire police)

    I'm pretty stoked at the idea of getting 8 - 10k miles from a tire. I was burning through motorcycle tires in 6k on the Concours and FJR.

    12 volt air compressor recommendations

    Yet another....upgraded to 2014 today

    I'd be interested in learning what your strategy was for presenting this to dealer and getting their buy in. Is there a wear characteristic you were able to point out or some other factor showing the dodgy tires. Would love to get this fixed, it's not horrible but it's just less stable feeling...

    Another RPM question

    I was tickled that my very first tank came in at 37, most of that was 2up and over 70. Fuels do matter, we don't oxygenate fuel here or other Californications...which could affect some folks. Of course that's one tank so no clue if that's accurate, may simply have not filled it full. Our...

    First long ride with the wife,.......seat has got to go!

    Seats are truly a personal experience. I was big into long distance riding for a long time. My R80RT had a Russell and was one of the best seats I've ever had. My 2k Tiger 900 had a Mayer, another good custom seat maker, also quite comfy. There was a good deal here on SL for a used...

    Yet another....upgraded to 2014 today

    Thanks. The buffaloes are a passion. One is an unrestored original in really nice condition. Two are full on bare frame 'rescue' projects that are in many pieces. Have two others that are parts donors.

    3 - WHEELS COMPARISON

    Eh, here in NC the Polaris doesn't require a helmet, so I'd have to call that a car. Take my Wrangler's soft top off and doors off, drop the windshield, and it's almost the polaris (well okay my wrangler is dog slow and has an extra wheel :)) I like seeing all of these new vehicles come out...

    New obsession dragaway 1/4 times

    Why do we race? That's a whole 'nother thread. I suck at dual sport racing, but I still do it, I'll never be anything more than that old guy they have to get around, but I try and better myself every time. The drag racer does the same thing. If you blow it up, rebuild it, toss a blower...

    New obsession dragaway 1/4 times

    Gnarly single track trails for me. I don't have the lower back left for MX ....I still ride the MX track a bit to work on skills but I limit don't do any air moves. If I get it two or three feet off the ground that's a lot for me....it's not the take off, it's the landing :). Luckily the KTM...
