• 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.

    Long Distance Riding

    I haven't been on for awhile (was having issues with posting, and been super busy)... Question - I am very interested in doing a saddlesore (the first step in being an Iron Butt member). I have the standard seat on my 2012 RSS. Do you think this is possible (the 1000 miles in 24 hours) with...

    She won't start

    Help! Today was a super day - warm (in the upper 40's) and no rain in the forecast. I bundle up and go out, but my baby won't start. Unfortunately, the dealership is closed for the holidays, so I am turning to you guys for help. When I press the start key, I get one turn, like it is trying to...

    Loop 1604 (San Antonio)

    I want to practice higher speeds, and I was told a good place to practice would be 1604. I think I can do this, but I thought having someone with me might make it easier (especially when the road gets really busy (near the I-35 interchange, for example). I ride highway 16 alot (I live off the...

    Heat and a whine.

    Hi guys - sorry I fell off the face of the earth! It's good to be back (been way too busy with work and school). It was 99 degrees yesterday and I was wondering about heat coming off the byke. I seriously thought my right shoe was going to melt. I had to take my foot away - tucked it back...

    Clicking noise

    Greetings to all! I got to ryde Charlotte today to work (FUN!). It was casual day, so I got to wear jeans, which (to me) I needed to ryde. It was foggy - the air smelled so good, and I got fairly wet (who knew?), but I have a question... On the way in, I heard a clicking noise when I...

    A quick question (or 2) about gears

    First - thank you to everyone out there for all your help with me learning about these wonderful beasties.. I rode today, about 57 miles. I took the path to work and back, to see if I could do it. Despite a couple of rough spots (a red mustang trying to nudge to go faster on a single lane...

    "I DID IT!!!" or "I completed my first loop"

    This was my third time on my Spyder (Charlotte), and it was fun. I mean, it was still scary at times, but I didn't feel that I was going to lose control, and I had a good time. I talked to Dudley while at work, and he gave me some pointers. Thank you to a wonderful guy (and his beautiful...

    brake foot

    Hi everyone! Have a dumb question about the brake foot.. I rode for about 30 minutes to an hour yesterday (you lose track of time, don't you?), and realized on the way back that my foot was tense/sore. I am holding my foot at a wierd angle the whole time - heel sitting on the back peg, so...

    Anyone live in Bandera County?

    Anyone live in Bandera County? I'm fairly near the Bandera/Medina County line. What I think would be helpful if a fellow Spyder rode with me, before I take to the highway (16) - the only way I can get into town (whether it be Pipe Creek, or Helotes). For you help, I can cook up some steaks...

    She's here!!!!!

    She's here!!!!!! Kelley and Ken brought the Spyder to the house (I think they enjoyed our hill). After signing all the paperwork and giving them the down payment we agreed upon, they left (storms are a brewing here). I started her up, and drove up the road and back. OMG! She is...

    Insurance questions...

    So I should be getting my baby tomorrow... Who would you suggest for insurance? What kind of coverage? What kind of deductible? I have contacted Geico - they offer $564 for the year. That's the only one so far, and then thought about asking the experienced ryders. Thanks in advance!

    Insurance

    So I should be getting my baby tomorrow... Who would you suggest for insurance? What kind of coverage? What kind of deductible? I have contacted Geico - they offer $564 for the year. That's the only one so far, and then thought about asking fellow Texans. Thanks in advance! :chat:

    some baby questions...

    I am in the process of buying a Spyder (RS, 2009). Can anyone tell me what the average mpg you have experienced? How hard is it to park one of these beautiful machines? A regular parking spot? Thanks! I can't wait - soooo impatient...:gaah:
