• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed the Adjustable Brake Rod that I got from Slingmods and the Mirror Lock kit from Lamonster Garage. Took the F3 on a short ride - both upgrades are outstanding!

    When and where was the first time you rode a Can-Am tryke ??

    The first year Can-Am had them at the International Motorcycle Show in South SF. I'd just had knee surgery and wasn't going to test ride anything, but just had to try out the Spyder. The sportbike seating position and abrupt corrections from the "Nanny" left me less than satisfied. Luckily...

    Fun Road Signs seen in Nevada

    I see those signs almost every day. It is good to live in the Carson Valley! I went through Austin just a couple of weeks ago with my daughter and some of her friends. It was her first long-distance motorcycle ride! There might have been some "need for speed" out that way... but as I was on...

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    Received my letter yesterday. Only have 6K on my F3L and no sign of red dust yet so I won't be doing whatever jackleg "interim repair" that BRP comes up with. I'll wait for the updated sprocket and ryde it in the meantime. Even though I live near Reno, I'll be taking it to Sacramento for the...

    No riding today

    It was raining and snowing last week, but today it's 75 degrees and ryding time. It's true what they say about Nevada... "If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes!"

    How would you rate your Spyder Dealer?

    Michael's Powersports, Reno NV Sales 10 Parts 7 Service - absolute zero. I'd rate them negative. They delivered the F3T to me with a literal and easily visible rat's nest after having found rodent damage to the wiring harness and repairing that. Total lack of attention to detail. It took a...

    Any way to get around the Start up safety message?

    My 2017 F3T starts when my foot is on the brake, turn the key on, hit the mode button immediately, then the start button. Doesn't matter how long it's been shut down.

    What's the one thing you think is Useless Junk on your Spyder?

    On my F3T, the stereo and comm system. I wound up going with a complete auxiliary comm system (MotoCello) because it sucked so badly.

    February Weather News 2021

    64 degrees here in the Nevada back country. There was still ice on my driveway, though, in the shaded spots. Didn't take the two-wheel bike out because of that but got on the F3 for a little bit of a ride. We're supposed to be back in the snow this week though, so back on life support for the F3.

    I'm back ... from the brink of death Covid 19

    Glad to hear that you're recovering! I had it in the early part of 2020, it put me down for 5 weeks. Didn't go to the hospital but it was no fun. Rest up, don't get to working on the Spyder right away, it'll be a while before ryding season!

    You just can't write this stuff!

    I was getting on my F3 today in the Post Office parking lot and an elderly (OK, just a few years older than me) lady stopped to tell me how she just didn't see how anyone could hold up these big motorcycles... I bit my lip, swallowed the "here's your sign" joke that desperately wanted to escape...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Rode mine to the Post Office and grocery store! I'd have gotten the two-wheel bike out, but even though the temps were in the high 50's here, there was still ice on the shaded part of my driveway. Nothing but play space for the F3 but I don't think the bike would have liked it... :yikes:

    February Weather News 2021

    Here in the Nevada back country we had a couple of snowy days over the past week. All is melted off the roads, the only thing keeping my Spyder in the garage today is the 6" or so of the white stuff still on my driveway... it's crushed rock so shoveling really isn't in the cards. It's supposed...

    How Many Miles Did You Go in 2020?

    The least amount of miles in 45 years of riding. :(

    Problem with feral cats

    The mousetrap idea worked for me when one of the neighborhood ferals decided that the top of my Jeep made a great king-size katty bed. Kept it up for a couple of weeks and he never came back.

    2021 Road Trips, who's going where?

    Wanted to make the Red Rock Ride In this year, hope to do it in 2021. I've ridden through Brice but my wife has not. Don't think I'll be making too many trips in 2021, but since I'm going to give retirement another try starting in 2022, maybe we'll have more opportunities.

    Why a tall windshield

    One word... buffeting.

    Here's my Best farkle ever!

    I use the Fuzeblocks FZ-1 as it has individual circuits. I like the Thunderbox's concept of auto start and shutdown, but don't like the idea of multiple loads on a single lead. That can be a recipe for problems.

    She left me!
