• 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.

    VSS Fault

    technology-future? I was wondering what is going to happen to all our spyders in the future when all this "WONDERFUL" technology gives way to age and usage.The days of roadside repair are gone.The spyder is an instant tow away vehicle when it breaks down.I came to that realization the other...

    BRP Hand Brake?

    handbrake my final op. Somehow I'm getting the impression that some of us are getting brow beaten into making BRP put a front handbrake on the rest of the spyders being manufactured or are trying to persuade the rest of us to put one on our current rides.Americans have always embraced new...
