• 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.

    Never thought I would say this, but... I'm thinking about returning to the world of two wheelers!

    Triumph just came out with the T40.... a nice small manageable bike with cruise control. I'm thinking about getting one too! Honda and others also starting to adapt to a "clutchless" system for us as well.

    Wonder how this happened, So Sad.

    I will respectfully disagree also..... with the proper technique, you can corner as fast as the traction will allow. I took a very spirited ride with some sport bike buddies and cornered quicker than they did. You just have to get your a$$ off the rig pretty far and hang on tight..... just as...

    Having a blast, but have you noticed these Spyders Take an Effort To Ride?!

    After every 3-wheel class, I need 2 days of rest. I have to overexaggerate my movements for the students and especially hanging off the rig during drifting and flying the side-car, you would think I would be used to it by now!

    Here's a thread I started... Is an ISCI Hand Brake worth it? The jury is out on this one!

    I'm still a 2-wheel rider and use it all the time!

    I have a hand brake lever I put on my Spyder, but it controls the foot brake pedal. To control "just" the front brakes on a Spyder would take a major electronics programming/ABS undertaking.

    Fully Automatic Spyder!

    That's what I paid for my hand brake lever.... I'm going to try it as soon as it's available!

    Do you get wet riding in the rain?

    I got caught in a downpour coming from Leavenworth back to Seattle. My RT did surprisingly well. I was the only one on a 3-wheels. The rest of the party were on 2-wheels... and got SOAKED!!! :ROFLMAO:

    Is it possible to replace the Output Shaft on a Spyder RT without pulling the engine? Anyone had it done like that?

    I haven't had good experiences with I-90. Bought 6 motorcycles and 1 Spyder from them. That place has gone downhill..... Sorry!

    If it's just a software thing, I don't know why BRP didn't implement it to begin with! https://tricledusa.com/pages/fasss-fully-automatic-spyder-shift-system

    Which dealership? Ride, Lifestyles, I-90?

    Ultimate Dealer GREED!

    I want everyone to take a look at this Invoice I received this morning for a Rear Brake Caliper, Battery and Sticker. This is from a Major Motorsports Manufacturer. The box was 16" x 13" x 10" and weighed 13 pounds. In our UPS system, I did a reverse shipping charge, and it came out to $33.56...

    1. Yes, that is one of the exercises you must complete 2. See answer #1. Remember, in WA State, when you are endorsed for 3-wheel, it also includes Regular Trike and Side-Car. And yes, you can do it on a Spyder..... I explained the technique above.

    I've changed my opinion of backrests for Spyder Riding - anyone else?

    I had one for a while, but took it off. 1. I wear ATGATT and an Airbag. It doesn't adjust enough to give me the room I need. 2. I sometimes ride aggressively and also use it sometimes when I'm teaching. I need to lean off the rig during cornering and swerving exercises... No Bueno.

    This is for a trike and side-car. I explained how to do it on a Spyder earlier in post #55.

    Conventional vs Reverse Trike Discussion

    You have to get the rear wheels spinning and using the front brake, just enough to allow you to correctly steer the rig. I just put on finger on the lever and modulate the brake/throttle so I have control. That way, you can do it for days... Here's what the WA State DOL Manual says: Drifting As...
