• 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.

    My garage

    Who said I wasn't sick? I'm totally messed up for even having this idea. I've also done several murals in my school. Usually in the style of various artists that I teach about (Haring, Escher, Max, Lichtenstein, etc.).

    My garage

    Everything on the walls is done in Benjamin Moore house paint with some acrylic paint to get exact colors and the floor is done in garage floor paint with some tinting. The man hole cover came out well but the storm drains still fool me. I paint barefoot and kind of cringe every time I step on...

    My garage

    Thanks to everyone. It's been a lot of fun with the real fun just starting. All of the little details take tons of time but really make it all come to life. That is if this wedding reception doesn't kill me first. I'll keep updating my album as I go. I was in the city today to visit my...

    My garage

    A few years back I got this crazy idea to paint murals in my garage. Since both of my kids live in Manhattan, I chose that for my design. I've worked on and off during those years but this summer was full speed ahead. We're having a back yard wedding reception soon so the pressure was on! I...

    Potential Buyer - Time to Stay Clear of a Spyder

    I bought a Mazda RX8 the first year they came out. I've had more problems with that than my Spyder. If you're going to buy something "new", then you just have to be willing to deal with some issues. I'm happy with both purchases overall. My Spyder dealer on the other hand????????????????????

    Passenger Handles

    Here's an idea for NMN or Kewlmetal. How about rails that retract under the seat when not needed, then pull out when you have a passenger. Kind of like flipping up the passenger foot pegs when not in use. I wish I had a metal fab shop.

    BRP package in mail

    Yes!!! I finally got my official number and Spyder Ryder pin today. I was excited to be able to get on the BRP map of owners. Now for my question, what is the black embossed map about? I thought it might have been for a Spyder picture to place on a desk, but it's just a black map?????? Ps...

    Shame On BRP

    I went to a MC show where BRP was doing demo rides and a show area inside. They didn't even have shirts or goodies to sell there. Talk about poor marketing. I guess they just want their dealers to make the money. Problem is, my dealer doesn't have anything. Everything is a special order and...

    I Did It!

    Welcome Spyder ryder. My wife felt the same way(she hated the lean). That was a big part of my decision to buy in April. We have almost 3,000 miles already. It's kinda nice not having kids at home any more. Can't wait for retirement (6 years away) then we can really put some miles on it.

    Steering Recall Update

    I just had a 3,000 mi service done today. The service manager told me they did the power steering update. Could this be true or is he full of it?

    Scorpion's New Helmet exo 900

    I really like the video reviews from helmetharbor.com. I can't wait for his review of the exo 900. It looks great but how well does it perform. I ordered my current helmet from him and it's a great company to deal with. I tried on the 1000 and it was TIGHT. Both the 900 and 1000 have cheek...

    I'm 54, but I tell my middle school students that I'm older than dirt.

    Helmet Temps

    The thermometers were in the center of helmets. Like I said, not very scientific but it answered my question. So now when I look for a new helmet, I'll look for any design/color that I like. I just want good ventilation now.

    Helmet Temps

    I was wondering if a light colored helmet is cooler in the summer heat than a black one. So I did a little (unscientific) experiment. I put the exact same thermometers under a white helmet and a black helmet. Both had vents closed and visors down. I elevated them so as not to get any ground...

    Kewlmetal Rocks!!

    The guys at Kewlmetal are awesome. I must admit, I was hesitant to spend $120 on two mirror extensions but these are great and easy to install. It took me about 15 minutes with my own version of an easy out. The ones I had were too small so I improvised (3/8" eye hook). Thanks Kewlmetal...

    1st Post - Considering A Spyder

    Just buy it, have fun with it and ask questions as you go. It's a blast. I've had mine 3 weeks and it's been great. All of the ryders here are very helpful. Good luck.
