• 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 life adventure ?

    Good for you, Mike! I'll be 66 yrs old in the next 10 days and I'm still downhill skiing too. When I lived down south, I gave it up for about 10 years. Now I've been back at it for about 7 years. For me, the hardest part is building up the stamina/muscle strength to be able to ski more...

    Seeking Advice on a Headset for My Brother.....

    I want to purchase a communications headset for my brother as a Xmas gift. I use a Sena 20S and would like us to be able to communicate with each other when we ride together. He uses GMAX half-helmet (size XL), so I'm considering this headset found at...

    Anyone Ever Consider a Scooter?

    I came across a few videos on YouTube about the Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive Scooter. Looks pretty interesting to me - especially for someone who puts a comfort high on the list of requirements. Has anyone here ever tried (or even seen) one of these? Here's a link...

    Frunk Question....

    I'd like to think that I need this explained to me again because I do it only once every year, but it may just be that the old noodle is starting to deteriorate. (Brain F_rt?) I've put the Spyder away into winter hibernation in the garage and want to connect my battery tender to it. To get to...

    Madstad Windshield for F3T?

    Thanks for your response, Pete. The two of us are built differently - I'm 5'8", 210 lbs - so the F4 being wider at the top probably isn't an issue for me. What makes me consider the Madstad is that I figure that I can configure it one way for hot weather (increased airflow), and another for...

    2000mi

    Glad that you've got things worked out to your liking! One (probably dumb) question about the BRP arm rests: I assume that they are just for the passenger? I ask because I have shoulder problems and experience shoulder pain after about 50 miles. Got the short-reach bars installed and that...

    Madstad Windshield for F3T?

    Could you elaborate on what you didn't like about the Madstad? You seem to be in the minority in this thread (at least so far...) Thanks!

    Madstad Windshield for F3T?

    I'm considering purchasing a Madstad windshield for my 2016 F3T, mostly for its adjustability. I hope to get it set just right to protect me from the wind in cold weather, but still provide airflow when/where I want it. (I currently have the OEM windshield.) Can anyone provide their...

    Another Communications System Question

    My friend and I each use a Sena 20s to communicate with each other when riding, and they work quite well for us. Now I'm contemplating getting some sort of communicator for my brother for Xmas as well. The problem is a) another Sena 20s would be bit too pricey for me, and b) he wears only a...

    Covers That Blow The Originals Out Of The water

    For fans of the "original" sound of Chicago, these guys are phenomenal..... Their native russian, yes russian, accents are detectable at times, but they're still great, IMO!

    Almost Time For Second Service - Now? Or Wait Until Spring?

    Just spoke with my dealer and got a quote for around $300 for full service. Because they're switching over to snowmobiles almost exclusively soon, I guess I'll get it done in the next week or two. Thanks!

    Almost Time For Second Service - Now? Or Wait Until Spring?

    Good points, Kiry. I take it in, and my dealer does a brisk snowmobile business, so perhaps now is the time. I'll check on whether service Spyders over the winter. Thanks for all of your thoughts everyone! Bert

    Almost Time For Second Service - Now? Or Wait Until Spring?

    I had my first service done on my 2016 F-3T at about 3500 miles. That means that I'm due for another service at about 12,800 miles, if my info is correct. I'm currently at about 11,100 and anticipate one more month of riding before winter sets in and I put her into hibernation. That may bring...

    Time For a New Tire, or TireS?

    Thanks to all for the responses. I got the General Altimax installed on the rear tire today.

    Time For a New Tire, or TireS?

    At Spyderquest today, it was pointed out to me (by Netzley Tire) that "we noticed that you need a new rear tire". My Spyder is a 2016 F3-T with approximately 9700 miles on the odometer. The other recent thread here about whether a tire is worn has made me take a second look at it, and I agree...

    OT: Cutting the Cable?

    No commercials sounds really good to me! Would you have a link to which cable channels are available on Netflix? I can't find this type of info anywhere on their website. Ideally, I'd like to see Netflix content included on this comparison spreadsheet. Thanks!

    OT: Cutting the Cable?

    Just a follow-up to my first reaction. Now that it's evening, I find that some of the streams (not all) are buffering - probably a lack of bandwidth with everyone home from work now. My main experience tonight (first night of use) is that the whole paradigm is different from Cable TV. I'm...

    OT: Cutting the Cable?

    Just received my FireStick today and am quite impressed with it! Very easy to set-up and picture quality over Wifi is excellent so far. Got a few questions though: 1. Is there any way to watch local news on it? My local stations offer apps, so can these be accessed thru the FireStick? 2...
