• 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.

    The Spyder, did they build it to mock a real spyder???

    Here is what i think: A Spyder, even tho it just finished eating, it has to have "one for later" Our Spyder, even tho you just checked the oil just before the trip, you have to take a quart with you"for later" A spyder, when you see it up close, it scares you silly!!!:yikes: Our Spyder, when...

    Mexican gasoline

    Has anybody crossed the border on their Spyder further than a tank of gas? After 8 years of not going to Mexico for cartel fear we went a few weeks ago, never saw anything out of the ordinary. We drove a ford f150, no problems but the moment we put Mexican gas in it it lost half of its power...

    A crazy idea

    The 998cc Spyder engine has around 100hp, the RSV Millie with the same engine has around 146hp, if it is the exact same engine, how will the Spyder react with it? I wonder if they will interchange? it is very tempting to try find out:)

    What are we doing wrong???

    The Spyder is getting 24.9 MPG, runs good, no issues at all, on our trip to Galveston we compared MPG with the Triumph Rocket and a VTX1800. We were doing steady 80mph and this is what we got; Spyder;=24.9:shocked: Rocket =32.3 VTX =35.4 I think i swap the Spyder engine with a VTX...

    What's your opinion on the nwe Spyder design and riding position?

    Went to the Texas Long Horn rally and had the chance to sit on one, i guess i'm used to the standard riding position because i did not like the crusier like posture, also my wife said that the front looks like a lawn mower:yikes:
