• 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.

    Farewell my friends...

    Farewell my friends... I've decided to sell Lil' Pumpkin :yikes: She's being "adopted" by a soon to be 2-Spyder family. I've had the opportunity to put 20 000 km on my Spyder in less than two years and for the most part I must say it was a hoot! The steering scare I experienced in May...

    If you need heated clothing...

    Inevitably the evenings are getting a tad chillier already so I just purchased a heated Gerbing's Jacket online for 50% off retail. Tested it last night and really appreciated it. Thought I'd share the link in case any of you are in the market for heated clothing. www.heatedclothingoutlet.com

    my Spyderfest pictures - enjoy!

    I attended Spyderfest in Magog last weekend and much like everyone else commented so far I was also impressed with the overall organization of the event. I could only spend a few hours there (arriving late and leaving early) but at least I was able to take part in the parade and Lil Pumpkin...

    Fatal Spyder Collision in Quebec yesterday

    Below is a link to the French news clip that aired - the video clip shows the force of the impact (ignore the commercial at the beginning) . The passenger who died was a 50 year old woman - her husband who was driving is in serious but not life threatening condition. A group of 3 Spyders was...

    Earthquake today...

    Felt that today around 1:45 local time (Gatineau, Quebec, Canada). Not a pleasant feeling - it was a 5.7. Just a few dishes out of place. Spyder is fine though ;) Anyone else feel it?

    Update - Lil Pumpkin is back !

    Well the guys at my dealership gave Lil Pumpkin a thorough once over! Steering issue: DPS had been replaced previously - they now did the 2nd recall and this seems to have solved a few issues. Steering now requires less effort to engage in turns :2thumbs: and more importantly it showed no...

    Steering issue = yikes !

    I took Lil Pumpkin out for the Motorcycle Ride for Dad (prostate Cancer fundraiser) last Saturday and experienced serious steering issues. The only way to describe it is to say she was "possessed" for a few seconds. While riding on a paved road about 30KM/h, along the procession of bikes...

    going back to stock muffler...help please

    Has anyone ever set out the steps for reverting back to the stock muffler from a Hindle in the shop talk forum? I was unsuccessful with my search. I recall there is something about needing a new gasket ring and a reset procedure with the battery. As you can tell from this thread I will not...

    Love it !!!

    As expected, I picked up Mr. 2844 yesterday. The Can-Am Spyder team was having an open road test in Embrun, Ontario and I agreed let the dealership have Mr. 2844 on display until 15:00. It was painful just watching him there - up on a pedestal with ribbons all around him - people gaucking...

    Too short for a Spyder?

    I just love the look of the Spyder and am seriously considering buying one in the next week or so. Just wondering if at 5'4" I will be too short for the seat height - is this even an issue? I'd appreciate any advice you can give me on accessories I should consider adding when purchasing my...
