• 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.

    3 Wheels vs 2 Wheels - My Story

    Deer here on the central coast of California are not very big compared to the deer in Michigan where I lived and visit. Now the Tule elk out here are as big as cows and they are in herds on the post. Another thing you need to watch for out here are the wild pigs.

    3 Wheels vs 2 Wheels - My Story

    Why I am going to keep my spyder and not go back and ride two wheels. A few weeks ago I was going home from work on two lane highway around 50-55 mph and it was starting to get dark. I work out at Fort Hunter Liggett, Fort Middle-of-Nowhere. As I look up ahead I see legs walking across the...

    25K pin

    I ordered the 5K and the 25K pins and I received two 25K pins. Ordered another 5K pin. I wish they would have also had a 50K pin. Lot more realistic than a 100K pin. (For 100K that you should get a plate.)

    P0707 Code

    The other day I was out 111 degree temp going home from work when the instrument panel flashed between the "5" and "E" Then it started with check engine light. No limp mode. Figured it was based on the heat. So I let it cool and went back out later and there didn't seem to be any problems. So...

    Great gift idea on Ebay....

    Neat Gift When I clicked on the link, I realized that the one saying Jim 2008 was the one that my wife got me as a gift. I am now famous. I will be signing autographs in the lobby. It is a great piece of art and there is a lot of detail in the drawing.

    Engine Cutting Out Driving Down the Road

    I am pretty sure that I didn't mess with the controls because I had a small pair of gloves on and there was no real movement of my hands on the handle bars. That was one of the first things I thought of. I am thinking it is more mechanical than me.

    Engine Cutting Out Driving Down the Road

    No. But I would have thought if there was a problem, it would have been running rough or cutting out. It was just purring down the road.

    Engine Cutting Out Driving Down the Road

    So I am traveling down the highway doing 70 mph with no problems for over 40 minutes when all of a sudden the engine just cut out and died. I pulled off on the shoulder and coasted down to about 35 mph and let out the clutch, the bike started back up and I continued down the road. There were no...

    Proper operation of a clutch

    After reading the do's and don'ts for new spyder owners and the info about using a clutch, I now have a question about proper use of a clutch. If I am approaching a stop sign in 4th gear, I would down shift to 3rd and release the clutch and let the spyder slow down on its own, I would then...

    Upgrading from a 2008 for 2012, some questions about price

    For me it is already a 140 mile journey one way to a dealer. One of my questions when at the San Mateo Motorcycle dealership is increasing the number of service centers. I understand that some people have long distances for service but that is a considering factor for me. I had given you a...

    Upgrading from a 2008 for 2012, some questions about price

    Talked to one dealer about the issue of moving out the 2012 with the new model year and he said BRP is great to work with in terms of prior year model being in his inventory.
