• 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.

Finally got time to ride last weekend and got a chance to teach my 19 year old daughter to ride. (Thats why I kept my RS around.) She loved it and can't wait...

    Got my seat on today

    Since we are in the middle of a blizzard here in Illinois, I decided to install my new Corbin seat. Took about an hour. No real problems, had to adjust the front latch pin down a little. I have to push down on the front seat for it to release, but I think it will get better once I ride it and...

    Corbin Seats are in

    Got my seats from corbin yesterday. I was reading the directions and it says to take off the rear plate to unbolt the original saddle. I have the BRP backrest on mine. Does anybody know how to disassemble it. Do I just unscrew the 4 allen screws from the top side or do I do it from below?

    I went trailer shopping.

    Here is some crazyness. I went shopping for an enclosed trailer yesterday. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, but I was thinking a 16' enclosed should work for now (1 HD and 1 Spyder). Eventually I would like to be able to haul my RS, RT,(and trailer) and 2 HD's. I found a good looking 16'...

    Trailer rims

    I noticed in the new trailer videos that the trailer rims are 4 bolt and the Spyder rims are 3 bolt pattern. No swapping or getting the wrong ones on. Just a fast fact for busy people.:yes:

    Transportation costs?

    I assume BRP averages their transpo costs and charges every dealer the same delivered price. That way the FL, CA,TX, etc dealers do not have a disadvantage over Northern states. Do other manufacturers do that also? (Honda, HD, Suzuki and so on). Just wondering.

    Qurstion for trailer owners

    Hi all. I have a trailer ordered with my RT-S. What is the best form of security for the trailer when you leave it at the hotel and just take the bike out riding? Is there a way to padlock or chain it. I assumed I can chain it thru the rim and to a light post. Just checking if there are any...

    Fast facts for busy people

    My good buddy is home from the air force for a couple of weeks and he saw my Spyder. He said that the "Predator" un-manned aircraft actually has a Rotax 4cyl turbocharged engine in it. COOL! :2thumbs:

    Ticking sound in the front right wheel

    I've had a ticking sound in the right front that seems to be brake related. It seems to tick from 3 to 12 mph then quits when I get up to a faster speed. Then it quits when I hit the brake. I do have glow riders on it but I don't think thats it. I will dig into it later this week when I have...
