• 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.

    Any other saddlebag options besides the Givi set?

    I have these on EBay. I used them on my BMW R1200R, but decided to go with the hard bags on the Spyder. I tried them on the Spyder and they fit well. The RKA website has photo of a Spyder that uses them. The expandable feature is handy...

    CB

    There's a ton of handheld CBs on EBay for less than $50. The shop's excuse is lame, but I wonder of they would to do if they had one.

    Cornering Tips for a Newbie

    I'm new to this too. It took awhile for my hands to quit arguing with each other when entering turns. Lately I've noticed that I'm most comfortable when my body leans about the same amount as the two wheelers I'm riding with lean their bikes.

    What's this?

    Thanks. Of course Piaggio. Had forgotten about them. Talked to a guy at Corbin a few years ago that swore by his, but haven't seen any lately.

    A friend took this picture in Paris. Is it the BMW?

    Grass Hopper Lookin Thang

    A little courtesy might be in order. Two, maybe four, bikes can fit into one parking place, and a Spyder doesn't have the security issues two wheelers have. Leave the close in spots for the two wheelers. All in leathers and red bandanas? New leather? Probably layers and accountants or wannabes.

    Cycle Gear Store Opinions Wanted

    I've been in several of their stores. Always find competent, helpful staff. I'm kinda leery of their house brand stuff, but if they are as careful with that as they are with their people it can't all be bad. When it comes to helmets, jackets and boots though, call me old fashioned.

    Mounting your Spyder

    Some motorcops mount right. Makes sense in a traffic stop. On the Spyder I suppose one might be on the brake a little sooner for a slightly quicker start. So what?

    Would comprehensive insurance cover a solo accident?

    Collision insurance paid for repair of two of my bikes and riding gear following collisions with the pavement.

    Helmets?????????

    In some fifty years of riding, most with a full face helmet, I've had two serious unplanned dismounts. In both cases my helmets, one Arai and one Shoei, were severely damaged. The damage to the helmets could well have been damage to my head. The Spyder is a little less risky and lately I've...

    Push-to-talk wire harness

    The Sena SM10 unit might do the job.

    Motorcycle Hand Gesture Question

    Tapping the helmet means "law enforcement ahead" around here. An "ok to pass me" signal to bikes that are coming up from behind is always welcomed by faster bike riders, especially from the like of us since they aren't always sure what we are. i've got a book somewhere on the subject of...

    BRP Website Issues

    I get signed in then try to update my profile and get something like "user is no longer registered" or words to that effect. I seem to be able to get around the website otherwise. Even suggested some changes to a blog post. Can't say I care much. There is better information here and my odo...

    RS-S or wait for the ST-S model???

    About floorboards I had floorboards on a cruiser once. They added comfort, but tended to get honed on curves. Bikes I've had since including the Spyder, the pegs are below, or a little behind, the saddle. This gives you the chance to stand and stretch at appropriate times. For me, that's a...

    Where are California Spyders?

    You can't entirely avoid the slabs if you need to be somewhere, but I'm guessing many riders prefer to do so when possible. 94 or 78 are way better rides than 8. 33 plus 25 is better than 101 time permitting.

    Bert's Mega Mall 2012 Summer Extravaganza Music video

    Outstanding production. Is Bert's bigger than Chapparral? I've never understood how either one can carry that much inventory, but glad they do.
