• 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.

    Easy Cure For Deceleration Exhaust Pop. No Parts Needed

    Holy Crap!! Thanks for this. Since I'm new to riding/ryding I've been wondering what the popping was and whether it was mechanical or if I was doing something wrong. Apparently, it was rider error, because now that I think of it, I rarely release the throttle while decelerating unless coming to...

    Southeast Michigan BRP dealers

    I purchased my 2009 GS from K&W Cycle in Shelby Township and have heard good things about Dee's Marine in Clinton Township. I've only been a Ryder for a couple of weeks, but a buddy of mine has had his for a few years and has good experiences with both.

    BRP owes me a check!

    Funny, that's how I actually ended up an owner. Stopped at the gas station one day to gas up the Terrain and a guy rolled up on his GS right next to me. 30 minutes we're exchanging numbers and I'm going home to "ask permission" from the wife. Turned out the guy lived around the corner from me...

    Good Deal or Not?

    Michael, Much like you, I'm not driving on roads that go above certain speed limits (45 has been the max). My ride in to work is normally a 30 minute drive in the car, but take an extra 15 minutes when I'm on the Spyder because I'm taking much slower, surface roads. The ride is much more...

    Good Deal or Not?

    Yes, Michigan does require a Motorcycle Endorsement. Taking an MSF course qualifies you for the endorsement. Courses here can run between $25 upwards to $300. The $25 courses are given a couple of local colleges that are subsidized by the state. The $300 courses are usually given by dealerships...

    For some reason the picture I posted originally didn't take. Should be fixed now. ;)

    Cost of insurance

    Full coverage on my 2009 GS running me $350/year with Allstate. Multi discount since they cover my home and 2 autos. $1000 seems high to me and I'm in MI where insurance is incredibly high.

    Good Deal or Not?

    I Have Arrived!! Picked this baby up yesterday and have been loving it since. I took a half day yesterday so I could get a feel for her. Drove her about 30 miles from the dealership to home, dig some tooling around town running some errands. Boy does this thing get a lot of attention. I've had...

    Good Deal or Not?

    Pulled The Trigger!! UPDATE: Pulled the trigger and bought the bad boy. Pick up tomorrow and can't wait!! :clap::clap: I took everyone's advice and haggled on the price and got the dealer down below $10K. Enough warranty on it to get me through the rest of this season, but that's about it...

    Good Deal or Not?

    My wife and I have talked for years about getting either mopeds or motorcycles, but we've waited so long that at our age a traditional 2 wheeler scares her to death. She actually went with me the first time to look at one and she almost bought herself a RS right on the spot. Luckily cooler heads...

    Good Deal or Not?

    Man, you guys are awesome. Thanks for all the replies/advice. It seems the consensus is to counter with $9K. My goal is to at least get him down below $10K (hopefully getting to $9.5K). Based on your replies and other threads here, I'm definitely going to ask the dealer to do a VIN check and...

    Good Deal or Not?

    Hi all, So here's the deal: I'm new to the cycle scene. I'm 44, have never rode on a motorcycle (let alone driven one), but I really want a Spyder. I had the pleasure of riding one recently when a friend of mine brought his over and let me take it for a spin around the block. Needless to say...
