• 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.

    Relive Spders in the Hills Experience (kinda)

    My wife and I participated in the last Spyders In The Hills event prior to the onset of Covid. We were discussing how much fun we had and how we enjoyed the experience the other night. We really wish that the rally could have found a way to continue. Anyway, we finally decided we could ride...

    Oh that dreaded spark plug failure

    Took the Spyder out for a ride a few days back and "oh my gosh" !! The power was awful and it sounded as if something was terribly wrong. Turned around and headed back home with no change. Stopped and it felt as if there might have been a miss, but more like one cylinder wasn't firing at all...

    What a beautiful day for a ride

    The sun was shinning bright this cool afternoon here in Texas Hill Country. I looked out at the Spyder and thought .. why should I let a day like today go to waste, surely it can't be that cold. So, I wrapped my upper torso in the appropriate layers to withstand the 40+ Temps while cruising at...

    Last ride of the decade

    Liz and I took our last ride of the year (did I mention decade?). Beautiful day in Texas Hill Country with blue skies and moderately cool temperatures. We reflected when we returned that this year has been mixed with all the normal ups and downs of life but our Spyder experiences have given us...

    First Ride on my new front VREDESTEIN QUATRAC 5's

    I finally got in my test ride or the new Quatrac 5's. 90 miles in pretty strong Texas winds and found them to be outstanding. I really could feel the difference at low speeds in city traffic and then hit the open road cruising at 70 mph. The handling ... well all I can say is "WOW":clap:. I...

    First Boo Boo

    I just returned to Central Texas from a visit to Nags Head, NC. The trip was a vacation for Liz and I with a lot of focus on enjoying our RTS while exporing the Outer Banks. We trailered the Spyder both directions. Had a great time by the way. Now for the Boo Boo. I apparently applied too...

    Utopia Backrest

    I received my new Utopia backrest yesterday and installed it right away. I am so very pleased with the match of the material with the OEM seat. The rest hasn't yet been fine tuned for my personal setting but I am really happy with the fit. I'm sure it will be a welcome addition on the...

    Just Get Happier Every Day

    My wife and I finally pulled the trigger on a '14 Spyder RT-S a couple of weeks ago. I have been riding in various conditions to acquaint myself with this new 'triple touch' and I am loving the experience. She has only taken a short ride but is just as pleased with the experience as I. We...
