• 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.

    First ride this spring.

    Weather was great and temps on the high end for this time of year. I took my 360 cam with me and recorded some now and then during the ride. I am no film director, but I hope you like the view at least.

    Finally, a couple of days with some blue sky and warm weather, so the wife and I sat down with Google maps and planned a road trip. Decided we would go West first, then head inland for some mountain roads, before setting the course for home. First destination was "Byrkjedals tunet" a group of...

    Off to "Blefjell" camping site in Norway on my RTS

    My wife took the ferry to Denmark together with a woman she used to work with before retiring, so I decided to take off a couple of days on the Spyder. Booked a small cabin on a campsite and used that as a base for roundtrips in the area. I have never been in that part of Norway before, so I was...

    Iconic aeroplanes!

    Drove the Spyder to our local airport today. The local AmCar Norway Club had an event and advertised an airshow as well. I walked around and there were a lot of different cars, new and old. Since I live less than 8km (direct line) from the airport, I hurried home and set my DSLR camera up with a...

    Do new brake pads work weakly at first?

    Hi friends! I changed all the brake pads today on my 2012 RTS, and after getting the wheels back on the ground, I took a test drive in the neighbourhood. Pedal felt fine, but the old pads stopped the bike better. So my question is, will the brake effect be better after a while, or is there...

    First long ride this season with the 360 camera

    I needed to go to pick up my new seat strut at my "local" dealer. My original local dealer gave up on the on road Can Am models and went for Seadoos only. Luckily, there is a Can Am dealer a couple of hours drive west of here and they are awesome, great service, and always friendly and helpful...

    Got my Speedbleeders today! Straight forward install?

    Hi all! Got my order from Speed Bleeders today. Just for the calipers, not the ABS pump. I also got the tubing and the bag. Anything to watch out for other than keep area clean while changing bleeders? I reckon there will be some brake fluid spilling out during the job. Ride safely all.

    My headlight plastic is turning white!! Any way to fix this??

    Hi friends! My 2012 RTS headlights are turning white, and it seems to be on the inside. Is this from bulb heat only? And is there any way to fix it? From what I could see the headlights reflector and "glass" are glued together?? It looks like it is above the lens and backwards, so there is no...

    Video from today's ride to a special mc camp site!

    Just need confirmation before I use my tools ! Air compressor bypass.

    Just did 2796 miles from Norway to Austria and back on my 2012 RT. Second day home my compressor gave up, so kind of luck on the timing. To bypass the compressor, do I just need to disconnect the power on the compressor itself and the hub where all the tubes are connected ? I have marked what I...

    My fav tool for limited spaces.

    Bought this Beta ratchet when I replaced my RT stock seat with a new comfort seat with backrest. It is perfect for those tight spots that leaves you with just a small amount of handle movement. Get it loose and the just twist the handle for the rest.:2thumbs:

    998cc Display says low on oil, dipstick shows normal level ??

    Display says low on oil, Problem solved ! Hi all! I just got my 2012 RT SE5 running after winter storage (in my garage). Battery was a bit low, so had to hook up a start help.

    Saw another brand of Reverse trike while in Holland this summer!

    This trike drove by and when he pulled in to a gas station, I stopped by to have a look! Owner was friendly and talked a lot about his trike. It turns out that a company in Amsterdam has turned Honda Goldwings into trikes, but CanAm style, two wheels in front. I thought CanAm was the only brand...
