• 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.

    I had to laugh.

    Most know as has been posted here that a lot of "Harley" riders won't wave at a Spyder rider as they pass on the road. I had to laugh today as my wife and I were out with very good friends of ours - they ride a Harley trike. We were coming into a town and a "Harley" rider was approaching. My...

    Trip

    Just got back from our "first" BIG trip - last Thursday night (2,895km). Bike was flawless. Although with two up and towing a trailer and traveling 70-75 MPH down the highways, the mileage was no heck. But that is to be expected. Don't know how, but we managed to keep dodging the rain up and...

    I'm PO'd about oil change cost!

    Ouch, ouch, ouch!!!! Took the spyder into the dealer for it's first inspection and oil change. Before they even started they quoted me over $500 bucks.
