• 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.

    What do like about your Spyder

    I love everything about my 2016 RTS but I don't agree with one thing I keep hearing. To me, once moving, my Spyder feels like a motorcycle and I love it. The biggest difference is the steering. I get the same feeling of freedom and wind in my face (when I lower the windshield). However, my...

    Love the semi automatic transmission

    I recently had a similar experience. I was riding with a friend (he was riding a Honda 1100 Shadow) and we got behind a dump truck on a very steep hilly road. I was actually enjoying going from fourth to third to second to first (doing my own down shifting) and back again. As the truck labored...

    Air Compressor

    Is there some modification to allow the use of the onboard air compressor (meant to air up the rear shock) to air up tires?

    Love the semi automatic transmission

    I had a hand brake installed before I bought my RTS. It helps a lot because my numb diabetic feet make using a foot brake difficult. Maybe that is another reason I love the SE transmission. I don't have to shift gears with my left foot.

    Love the semi automatic transmission

    Before I bought my new RTS I was not sure I would like the semi-automatic transmission, but I love it. It gives me the control of a standard transmission without messing with a clutch. Who ever came up with this transmission instead of a standard or a fully automatic transmission should be given...

    How cold will you ride?

    Out of necessity I have ridden in -9 degree F. weather and it was not fun!. Normally, since it feels about 10 degrees warmer than it really is behind the RT's fairing, I will ride when it's in the 20 degree F. range. The trick is dressing in lots of layers. One day I rode about 100 miles at 28...

    Top Speed

    Just curious. My 998 Rt hit 103. My RTS 1330 was still pulling at 107 in 5th gear. I hadn't got to 6th yet. Mine would probably go 117 but I'm not going to try.

    Top Speed

    Though I hesitate to ask, knowing that these machines are not racers, what is a realistic top speed for a Spyder (998, 1330, different models, etc.)? Surely some of you have "seen what it would do". What say you?

    NEW 20`6 RTS

    What a MACHINE!!!

    New 2016 RTS I just bought a NEW 2016 RTS with 16 miles on it. Cowtown found a '16 RTS still in the crate, assembled it, and I got it. It is awesome. I had a hand brake installed and a dongle for blue tube and helmet to helmet communication. I'll post a picture when I figure out how.

    What a MACHINE!!!

    Congrats. Congrats on your new ride and I love the color too. I have a 2016 RTS in the same color and think it is the prettiest SPYDER I have yet seen.

    Riding in Cool/Cold Weather

    I've ridden as cold as 17F and was comfortable except for my eyes. They were tearing up and the tears were freezing. The trick to riding in very cold weather is layers, lots of them. Also, I use the brown insulated overalls like you see farmers using in the winter. With enough layers and the...

    What is your tyical ride?

    Typical ride I mostly do 100-250 mile long trips. The longest ride was 615 miles in a 24 hour time frame with sight seeing, lunch and other stops thrown in. It was a great day.

    Went to the darkside

    I'm glad because I was a bit worried that Nanny might have a problem with the new tires. I fact, I did get a Check DPS error once since the change. It cleared and has not reappeared.
