• 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.

    CB Cable/Entertainment Cable Pin Out

    If anyone has a pin out description of the 7 pin connector on the dash, I'd be thankful if you'd send it to me. The connector fits into the center of the panel where the various switches (parking brake, fog lights, rear shock adjuster, etc.) are located. If you have a factory installed CB, the...

    Long Rides, Shawn Smoak and a "Perfect" Touring Bike

    A few of you may know that I have ridden long rides in the last four summers with a small group named Country Roads Group Riding. I visited National Parks in the West (2013), Nova Scotia (2014), Canadian Rockies (2015) and, this year, the West Coast. Each of these rides was at least 7000 miles...

    Nexar Might Be Useful

    For those iPhone users who use their phones on their Spyders, Nexar might be very helpful especially in urban traffic. It records traffic problems and dangerous events. It detects sudden stopping or accidents ahead. Eventually, it will connect to other users so that traffic problems can be...

    Two Incredible Rides This Summer

    I just completed the second of two long rides this summer: (1) the first (three weeks) was from Knoxville, TN into the Canadian Rockies; (2) the second (one week) was in the wilds of West Virginia which ended on Saturday. If you'd like to see pics here is a link to the Rockies ride...

    No Help In Kalispell

    Note: This was written in Montana while on a 7000 mile trip to the Canadian Rockies; I returned two days ago. I was unable to post it while on the road and will do so now. The contents is relevant even though I am home after a spectacular trip. This is a story about two Jerry's. Jerry 1 works...

    In Praise of stevedfive

    There are, thank goodness, a small group of folks here who will do anything to help a Spyder owner fix a problem. These members drive considerable distances, spend hours on the phone, post informative videos and just generally make themselves available for those of us who can't easily fix our...

    Electrical Noise -- Long

    On my 2014, I have the CB, mp3, gps comm system installed. On the 2014 and the previous 2013, I had CB, radio, mp3 and gps but have never had a working iPhone as part of the system. Just this week I had my dealer install a better gps connection thinking that it would solve the problem; it...

    Atlantic City Cycle Center -- Great Dealer

    I wanted to add my dealer to the list of "good guys". They just delivered my Yellow 2014 yesterday and they had installed both BRP and after-market accessories that I had provided. They even sent me off with a full tank of gas. So here is a shout-out to Ed Reyes (General Manager), Justin Hammel...

    Biker's Friend Luggage In the Rear Seat of My RT?

    I recently bought the small Biker's Friend; it just fits the rear seat of my RT. I've spent a good deal of time on various lashings and have been forced to reject each one because they prevent the seat from rising to fill the gas tank. Why do I have to raise my Ultimate seat with the gas nozzle...

    Iphone On An RT-S

    My iphone on a 2013 RT-S has so much static on a call that my wife can't hear me. I haven't seen this problem mentioned on SL before. Because no one has posted on it, I suspect it has to do with my settings on the audio system of the RT. I have carefully read the doc that my dealer gave me on...
