• 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.

    RT Custom Graphics/Paint

    RT Owners: Was talking with a dealer about differences between the RT and RS owners and one thing he's noticed is that RT owners tend not to have customized their Spyders. It made me wonder whether that was because the RT doesn't have a prominent graphics vendor with kits or if there just isn't...

    Battery-Powered Heated Vest/Jacket

    Yesterday's paper had a red LiON battery powered jacket from Milwaukee Power Tools at Home Depot online for sale for $170. I hadn't given much thought to this category of clothing, but my wife thought it sounded like a good idea, since she's not got the toasty handgrip heaters/muff combo to keep...

    Australian Holiday Safety Message

    A friend sent me the link to this public service announcement. Be advised that the TAC pulled no punches in getting their message across, but it is such a timely and important message that I wanted to share. Be safe out there; there's a bunch of you I haven't met yet...

    Logo?

    Was thinking about a logo for our group. I haven't any great skills with graphic design, but thought I might prime the pump with this effort: Thoughts?

    On March 25, 2010, in Phoenix, Arizona, four riders were killed and five others seriously injured when they were hit from behind by a large truck while stopped at a traffic light. This sad event has touched the hearts of many and reinforced the importance of motorcycle awareness initiatives...

    Spyder from Space

    Google Maps is recently updated in San Antonio. The current aerial shots are from sometime between Nov 09 and Feb 10, and I can see my former 2008 RS in its outdoor cover. Anybody else find their Spyder in aerial photography?

    Army Spyder's Been Drafted!

    Well, after much consideration and discussion with my wife, I have sold the 2008 SM5 emblazoned in Army-themed graphics (by Spiralus Designs). I will be sad to see it go, as I had a blast on it and I really had intended to keep it for the long haul. The good news is that its new owner is one...

    Long Arms. Seat Options?

    I rode around 300 miles yesterday on a stock seat. At some point during the ride, I decided to scoot backwards to change some angles for a while (was in a hurry, so long stops weren't on the agenda). I hit the lip of the seat, which is unfortunately placed at what feels like the best riding...

    Spyders in Strange Places

    Okay, here's my initial entry: Army Spyder in China Grove, Texas. There wasn't much to see, but a good ryde, nonetheless.:spyder2:

    Good Customer Service!

    We get to hear a lot of the bad about the vendors/dealers that keep us ryding, so I thought I'd share an example at the the other end of the scale. The rubber on the shift peg was transferring to my combat boots (tan suede), so I looked for a solution and came across Ryder Clips Shift Socks in...

    Thought today was my day...

    Finally back from a summer at Fort Lewis and today was the eagerly anticipated day that I'd finally get to ride my new Spyder. I've been busily jumping all the hurdles associated with buying a machine on eBay from an out of state dealer and then having it shipped from upstate New York to San...

    Mono Seat Cowl & Sport Rack?

    Does anyone have photos of these together on a Spyder? I'm not visualizing how they'd work together. Are they perhaps mutually exclusive? Thanks!

    Bike Carrier?

    :helpsmilie:Okay, I know this will sound nuts, but I (think I) saw a motorcycle towing a trailer with a bike rack on it. It was going north on I-5 near Tacoma, and I just caught it as it flashed past. Anybody seen or heard of a trailer like that? Instant envy...:dontknow:

    A Soldier's Spyder - Graphic Kit development by Spiralus Spyder

    Okay folks, For those who've read/posted on the thread "Tribal Art Decal - Lamonster", you'll know that I, and some other Spyderlovers, took Spiralus Design up on their free artwork on Spyder graphic kits in June. I wanted an Army-themed kit, and said that I would share the development process...

    No Nose?!?

    I guess that it must be possible to operate this vehicle without the 'trunk'. Ran across this on Flickr.... Think this would open the door to a whole new level of mods?
