• 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.

    Oops ! I locked my key in the "Frunk" the other day and.....

    I had a key made for the Spyder and one for the Truck. Cut down the the key "handle" and used an old ID card and packing tape. Put it in your wallet so they are always with you. Also the real spare key for the Spyder is velcroed to the frame under the seat. And yes, I've had to use them...

    Tickets for ryding in Maryland and other places??

    We are retired so this is not a hardship for us personally. We make and eat meals at home and go out to eat maybe once a week or less, however, we are patronizing restaurant carry-out at least 3-4 times a week until the forseeable future to help out the local businesses. Is that essential? I...

    My tour across America 2021

    OK, you asked for it! One of our trips was because my wife said, “I want to see ALL of the Cliff Dwellings and I think we pretty much did see them all. My wife and I will always take a detour to see a waterfall or a cave. I haven’t got the waterfalls listed because I think it’s about a...

    Northwest CT And Dutchess County

    Nice ride with pretty scenery. Especially the rapids. The plan is to come out to Mystic the end of July for the Denison party at the Homestead. If everything works out we'll drive out with the Spyder in it's enclosed trailer and then after the reunion we'll tour around the east coast for a while.

    question for those who have a RT & F3

    Not sure if you have the dreaded roundabouts in your area. If you do I recommend doing a bunch at higher and higher speeds. Drive it like you stole it! Worked for me. If you've ever done a 4 wheel drift in a car, you can do a 3 wheel drift with a Spyder RT. That's some serious fun!

    How do you tell if your rotors are warped?

    If you have warped rotors the brake pedal will pulse as the pads are pushed out and in by the rotor.

    New Guy Here

    Last ride in Destin today, back to the great white north tomorrow. 1. light grip on the handles. 2. Don't change lanes REAL fast when passing or you'll go off the road. Yeah, I almost did that. 3. Don't be shy, drive it like you stole it and you'll get used to it in a hurry.

    Hyper flashing Turn Signals when trailer hooked up.

    In the olden days hooking up a trailer to your car could sometimes lead to hyper flashing because the load was too much for the relay and you had to install a heavy duty one. If that is the case here perhaps you could switch out the trailer lights to LED which I see at Harbor Freight for aroud...

    Patrolling the neighborhood

    Sorry...That's not cold, this morning before the sun came up it was 2 degrees, a little bit of wind and the the weather unit said -0 wind chill. I'm not sure, but my old math days say that -0 is really bad. However, we will be in Destin on the 1st of Feb so get it warm down there for us.
