• 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.

    Keeping rodents out

    WOW, that's nasty. I have an issue with mice in my shed and have used mothballs over the winter but they seem to not be working as well. Just watched a video that suggests using peppermint oil. Sounds like it will work. https://youtu.be/frSFoxN-9xs

    Ever Flip Over When Cornering?

    My outside wheel left the ground I have a 2016 RS and I was out on a ride and hit a turn faster than I should have. I leaned into it more that I usually do to hold my lane and when I came out of the turn I heard a chirp from the wheel that was on the outside of the curve and realized it had...

    Garage door opener.

    Key Chain Remote I purchased a smaller remote that worked with my garage door. My jacket has a small pocket on my left upper arm (don't know what it is really for) that is the perfect size for the smaller remote. I put a small piece of velcro (the hook part) on the back of the remote to hold it...

    Riding in Cool/Cold Weather

    How Cold is COLD Glad you asked this question I'm curious about this too. I live in the northeast and I try and ride all year. Basically if it's dry out and I can squeeze in a ride I will.

    Are Spyders super sensitive to road crown?

    I've noticed this too. My Spyder is definitely affected by roads that are banked or crown a little more than others it's because of the wide stance. I've had my spyder for a year now and ride every weekend, it didn't take long to used to it. I try to ride to the left more and it makes a difference.

    interstate riding

    I have an RS and feel the some way but I do find that is I lean forward and lower my head a little it helps. I guess it works because the RS rider position is more like a sport bike than a cruiser like the RT. Feels great to open that throttle but I still feel like I take a beating on the highway.

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    I've named my Spyder Alice I've named mine Alice after the band Alice in Chains pet spider. The band had a pet tarantula that they kept int the garage that they practiced in. I thought it was a perfect fit because my pet Spyder is kept in the garage too. :ani29::doorag:
