• 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.

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.

    2013 RT Heat Issue - Solved?

    I am a newbie to the Spyder world. I traded in my 1200 cc Moto Guzzi Norge and bought a new 2013 RT Limited one month ago (November 2013).
