• 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.

    Harbor Freight Lift

    Just another happy HF lift user here. I've had it for several years without incident. I had our RTL up on it yesterday. I would always recommend the use of jack stands no matter the brand of lift you're using!

    Sena SMH10 & Galaxy9+ Pairing problems....

    I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy9+ and I cannot seem to pair it to my Sena SMH10 headset. I understand that the phone uses Bluetooth 5.0 and the SMH10 uses Bluetooth 3.0. I've gone to the Sena website in an attempt to download any kind of firmware update, but the link to the software...

    Looking for recommendations for a Jack

    Another for.... Count me in on the group using the Harbor Freight Jack. It's a bit on the bouncy side when getting all 3 wheels off the ground, but it gets 'em there! I also put jack-stands under the A-Arms and 2x4's under the rear wheel once it's up there, just in case.:thumbup: Bud~

    New listing of Spyder Events for 2018

    Would you please? ChicoFowler, This is such a fantastic and generous idea! Providing the space on your calendar with information to other rallys on your site is extremely thoughtful and considerate. I'm hoping that we can do something similar on the Nor Cal Spyder Rally site. I've sent you an...

    Kill Switch vs. Fumble-Fingered Hank

    We.... I will admit that something similar did occur to me. 2 days after getting our Spyder: It was twilight and I was heading home after a few hours of ryding this brand new machine. I was at a stoplight and needed to adjust the tightness of the strap of my glove when the Spyder just went and...

    I'm PO'd about oil change cost!

    I can understand.... I can understand the concern about the price of maintenance. Nobody wants to pay more than they think something is worth. But, on the other side of this coin is a dealer needing to pay for quality technicians and keep the doors open so that we have a place to take these...

    Laser ground effects?

    If you like it, that's all that matters! :thumbup: That's what makes it custom! If I never did or got anything my wife thought was silly, I wouldn't have ANYTHING of my own! (she doesn't read SL, so don't tell her I said that!) :yikes: ~Bud~

    Let's get a handle on what it means to ride as a group vs solo

    IMO, this is the duty, and importance, of the "Sweep", or "Tail End Charlie". Those following behind the disabled ryder should also pull over and wait for the Sweep to arrive before ryding on and catching up to the rest of the group. If the Leader finds themselves with nobody behind them, then...

    Let's get a handle on what it means to ride as a group vs solo

    I believe.... I understand and agree that most Club Rydes are not the same as Rally Rydes. But, our club rydes are often consisting of more than 10+ Spyders and includes Newbies or Guests. There are several factors that allow our group rydes to be as successful as they are. I believe that one...

    Another Spyder dealerbites the dust.

    We got Lucky... It's not my intent to throw salt in the wound, but we got really lucky and had a new Can-Am/Spyder dealership open down the road in Roseville Ca.! Roseville Powersports opened a couple of months ago replacing a dealership that had closed about 18 months ago. So I guess that's a...
