• 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.

    Dead battery

    So my battery finally died. Lasted about 4 years...not sure if that is typical. Question is...do I go ahead and buy a new one or just wait until the end of winter? Does it hurt anything sitting there with a dead battery? Thx

    Chauvinistic Pig?

    So me and a buddy are sitting outside eating dinner. I parked my Spyder across the street where I had a great view of it. We notice two cute girls walk by and start looking around at it. All of a sudden one of the girls climb up and sit down on the bike while the other took her picture...

    Great Ride!

    Called an audible Saturday morning in lieu of doing yard work. Road trip party of one "Yes please!" Just took off on the "Beast" to see where the road and wind took me. Took off from Belmont...it was in the 90's. Took 27 through Lincolnton, up 18 into Morganton. Stopped at Catawba Valley Brewery...

    Holy sh*t a dump truck!

    Was headed down a 4 lane road, my son was behind me in the truck. I was in the left lane cruising around 40 mph. I was coming up on a stopped car turning left in front of me. I was keeping an eye on the front tire to make sure it wasn't moving. All of a sudden as I got up to that car, the dump...

    New airflow panels

    Just got my Spyder back today with the new airflow panels installed. It does make a difference. Typically cruising down the highway the temperatute gauge stays at 5 bars. With new panels it stays at 4 bars now. Foot boards are cooler and the seat stays cooler. Makes riding in 95 degree weather...

    Is that thing safe!

    I was headed to the dealership to get my new airflow panels installed. I was behind a Goldwing. We came up to a red light, and he motioned me to come forward. So I moved up beside him, and he looked over at me with a confused look and said "Is that thing safe? Having three wheels and all!" I...

    Bike Week Myrtle Beach

    I'm headed down for my first ever bike event tomorrow. Will be my longest ride yet (4 hours). Longest ride so far has been 1 hour (weak I know). I'm sure I'm going to stand out like a sore thumb in the sea of Harley's. Anyone else headed down this weekend.

    Oil leak on 2013 ST-S

    So I go to take off the bottom panels on the Spyder this weekend (for some continue help dissipating heat) and I notice a fluid on the panels. It appeared to be oil, so I checked the oil per the manual...found out I was 1/2 quart low. So I added 1/2 quart of the recommend motorcyle oil. It...

    Riding Naked!

    Okay....I confess...I didn't really ride the Spyder naked. But, I was in my truck the other day coming home and kept seeing everyone on their bikes with shorts and tee shirts on. Was thinking to myself, man that looks to be a lot cooler touring around town than wearing all the gear. Now...

    This maybe a silly question....was at Lowe's the other day...dreaming of driving my future Spyder around on different errands....saw a couple of 2 wheelers parked in the yellow stripped area at the end of the parking rows....the Spyder being wider....do most Spyder owners park in the yellow...
