• 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.

    It Broke!

    Saturday morning about 0730, temp about 42, visibility clear and a million. I'm on I-10 on the way to my dealer for a 21,000 mile service (about 60 miles into the 214 mile trip). Doing about the speed limit. All of a sudden RPM drops to about 3500 with a lot of extra noise and the speed drops...

    Hit 20,000 mi this morning on the way to work. :yes: Had the Spyder for almost 2 years (took delivery on the 12th of Nov '09). While not a really high mileage for 2 yrs, I'm happy considering that I couldn't ride for 3 months this year. Ron

    I live in Hereford Az, about 5 miles from the edge of the Monument fire that some of you may have heard about. This evening my cell rang and when I answered it was the lady who manages the office at Desert Dog Off Road Fabrication (my Spyder dealer). Just wanted to find out if we are OK and if...

    Just a thought for next year

    As many of you know, the Ride For The Wall has started, and Rolling Thunder will take place on 29 May. One of the things on my 'bucket list' is to participate in Rolling Thunder. At Spyderfest this year, I noticed that there are many Vets on Spyders. What would you all think of having...

    So where have you lived?

    Seems like we have people all over the world on the forum, so I thought it might be interesting to see where everybody has lived. Say for over 6 months. For me: Arizona - twice California - twice Texas Mississippi Florida North Carolina Virginia New York Indiana Illinois Ohio Germany - three...

    An Afternoons Ride

    Just could not stay in the house today. Temps in mid-70's a slight breeze, and not a cloud in sight. So of course a ride seemed in order (after obtaining the requisite kitchen pass):clap: Ended up going from Sierra Vista AZ to Douglas AZ and back along AZ Highway 92. Only about 120 miles...

    Who woulda thought?

    I've always been a fan of glass-packs. Seems like I spent more money on tickets/fines when I was a kid than I did on gas (well it was only 20 - 30 cents a gallon then!). Anyway, I put one on the Spyder last week and then took a 50 mi ride. Came home, took it off and re-installed the stock...

    Sorta inexpensive highway pegs

    After installing ISCI ryder and passenger floorboards, I ended up with two sets of stock pegs. It dawned on me the other day that they might be used as low-cost highway pegs. Ended up using the stock passenger pegs, two bolts and a couple of nylon locknuts. Had the bolts and nuts in the...
