• 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.

    Spyderquest 2020

    While disappointing, of course, as a "local from the area" (and a Spyder Ryder), I feel that you've made the right decision. Better safe than sorry. Now, I only hope that the organizers of Americade similarly come to their senses. Stay safe!

    Re-Install the "bra" component. 2016 F3L

    Subscribing to this thread, because I have the exact same complaint about my F3-T. Getting that piece re-attached is a royal PITA!

    Happy tax day?

    Sure - It's happened plenty of times, but only by one day, when 4/15 has fallen on a weekend. Also, since 4/15 is Holiday in much of New England (Patriot's Day - Boston Marathon Day), the deadline is often extended by a day in that area of the country. But extending it by 3 months may well be...

    just out of curiousity would you go to a event

    I agree. Frankly, I'd be stunned if any rallies were actually still held as scheduled.

    Tickets for ryding in Maryland and other places??

    All true - But something else to consider is: With the enormous stress that our health system is dealing with, Is NOW the time that you want to end up in a hospital in case you have an accident? Like it or not, riding a spyder/motorcycle does introduce a higher level of physical risk than not...

    What do I do for a NYS Inspection during Covid-19?

    I rode past Progressive, a local Harley dealer and another cycle shop on Friday and all looked closed to me. Hence the reason for starting this thread. But I'll give Progressive a call this week just to be sure. Thanks!

    What do I do for a NYS Inspection during Covid-19?

    Really? That's not what I was told at DMV a few years ago.... In any case, mine does expire on 4/30. And as far as I can tell no motorcycle shops are open around here....

    What do I do for a NYS Inspection during Covid-19?

    We all know that NYS inspections on all motorcycles/trikes etc is normally due by April 30. But with most (all?) bike shops closed due to Covid-19, has the state announced any policy for forgiveness/extension of the inspection requirement yet? Thanks!

    Sena 20s and iPhone 6S Plus Question - Unresponsive Siri

    I'll give that a try on my next ride, Thanks. But frankly, I'd prefer not having to do that to make Siri work, since I have a bad shoulder and that button is hard for me to reach - especially with wearing gloves.

    Sena 20s and iPhone 6S Plus Question - Unresponsive Siri

    FWIW - Mt Spyder is equipped with no audio equipment atall (even though it's an F3T), so I can't see how the iPhone could be bluetoothed to the Spyder, because I don't have Spyder Bluetooth.

    Sena 20s and iPhone 6S Plus Question - Unresponsive Siri

    During the off-season, I finally entered the 21st century and got myself a smartphone - an iPhone 6s Plus. I know that it's far from the latest tech, but baby steps, you know? ;) I got the phone and my Sena 20s paired via Bluetooth and I can hear my music, etc thru my helmet's speakers now...

    F3T - First Ryde of th Year and PITA Tupperwarre!

    Finally got a beautiful spring-like day in my area so I decided to go for my first ryde of the year on my 2016 F3T. It's been on a battery trickle charger all winter, so the Tupperware between the windshield and frunk had been removed to accommodate the battery charger cable. I don't know if...

    Looking For Ram X-Grip to Hold iPhone 6 Plus?

    Can anyone recommend a RAM X-Grip to securely hold my iPhone 6 Plus. The phone is in an Otterbox case (which adds a bit to the overall size) and the X-Grip needs to have a 1 inch ball. Can anyone recommend a specific X-Grip model and perhaps provide a link to a reliable vendor for ordering...

    When to go (Glacier National Park)

    Just be aware that "less crowds" is a relative term. I went in mid-September in 2013 and STILL couldn't find a parking space at Logan Pass. Sometimes it looks to me that nobody works or attends school anymore - They all just travel. Some places in the area were already starting to close by...

    F3-t

    FWIW - The 2016 F3T that I bought brand new from the dealer came with no radio or speakers (and I can't say that I miss them).

    Why Did YOU Choose Ryker Over Spyder?

    I've owned a Spyder F3-T for about 3 years, and still don't feel totally comfortable on it after more than 15,000 miles. I've swapped seats, etc. but I still get painful cramps in my hips on occasion after 45 minutes to an hour of riding. I think that the sitting position of the F3 simply...

    convert F3-S to F3-T?

    AFAIK - The vast majority do. But my 2016-F3-T came without radio/speakers/antenna, which was just fine with me.

    Anyone Towing Their Spyder with a Triton Trailer?

    Lots of good info, guys! Thanks! FWIW - I DON'T have a bump skid on the Spyder. Any thoughts on QUALITY of the Triton trailers?

    Anyone Towing Their Spyder with a Triton Trailer?

    Thanks for your thoughts! You make some good points. I think that the ramp would be fine, but how would I know the breakover angle (or even what's required for breakover angle) without "trying one on for size" first? The dealer most likely won't have one in stock. Even if he did, I'd be...

    Anyone Towing Their Spyder with a Triton Trailer?

    I'm looking for a trailer to tow my F3-T on trips up to 900-1000 miles. In my brief research, I came across Triton Trailers and am looking at either the AUT864B or AUT1064B. My local dealer gave me a cost estimate of $2100 - $2500. Wonder whether anyone has either direct experience with these...
