• 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.

    Oil Leak Saga

    Yesterday, on the way to Bert’s Canyon Cruise, I noticed I had an Oil leak. When I got to Bert’s, I checked out my Spyder. It looked like the Oil leak was coming mainly from my rear Valve cover. While I was there, I purchased a set of valve cover gaskets. I was thinking I would spend today...

    Front End Alignment

    This past Saturday, I spent the day doing a front end alignment on my Spyder. I decided to do my own, rather than taking it to the shop. The reason being, I have paid for two front end alignments over the past nine months, and both times, the shop said; evrything it within spec. Well when I did...

    Grips

    I have always had an issue finding correct handgrips, for my Spyder. I have a bit of arthritis in my hands. When using standard grips, they tend to get pretty soar, on long rides, canyon runs, and always in city driving. I have been using just the cheap $6.00 foam grips, for the past 30,000...
