• 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.

    Any Spyder Shipping Recommendations - Maine to Texas?

    I have no idea of the cost of this company but have seen this truck in town. I watched them unload a trike. Not a wobble or bobble went on with that process. https://haulbikes.com/

    2025 Planning 11th Memorial Trip to Central Texas (in memory of my wife)

    Butler Maps offers a really good map of all the paved motorcycle roads in the Texas hill country. These maps are heavy duty and don't tear up while trying to handle them. Get one and if your time permits take any of the little side roads the map shows. The main travel roads are fun, including...

    Test Drove A Goldwing Trike

    I came to Spyder from 2 Gold Wing trikes. One trike did not have the Easy Steer on it, the other did.... QUITE the difference!!! Put the Easy Steer on that one ASAP. Both were a complete pleasure to drive. Only switched to a Spyder because my independent mechanic retired and closed up shop...

    Never Say a Spyder Can't Flip

    EXACTLY what I thought! That police car never stopped. Guess he didn't think it odd that a huge flatbed truck/trailer was dead stopped in the road? Or that a bunch of vehicles were stopped alongside the road? Very strange...

    Curious for comments on Twisted Sisters ride in Texas?

    Yes - the Blue Bonnets and Indian Paint Brush were absolutely abundant and gorgeous this past April and they lasted much longer than usual - we were really surprised. It is because we had good rain in the fall of 2023. Ample fall rain always gives a better chance for the following spring...

    Curious for comments on Twisted Sisters ride in Texas?

    I live in Kerrville, TX - one of the main jump-off areas for the Sisters. As was said, the area has its own beauty but beware it is NOT the Rockies, Appalachian, etc type of scenery. It is Texas beauty, nothing more, nothing less, and to each his own. We never get tired of riding the area...

    Spyderlovers - Facebook - Or Both?

    I don’t participate in any social websites except this one and Triketalk as they are focussed and strictly moderated. I consider websites like Facebook to be the root of lots of problems the world has now.

    Suggest any battery warming gloves thin enough to wear under thick gloves?

    I bought these Gerbing battery operated gloves. I was afraid the battery on each hand might make the glove feel heavy and cumbersome.. nope.. not at all. They are very flexible. I have heated grips also but don't need to turn them on with these gloves. The wires in these gloves wrap ALL the...

    Looking at dog carriers. Anyone have any advice?

    Just an incident to pass on.... I was at a gathering of trikers one year when a driver pulls up with his dog in a small trailer behind the bike. When he began to unload the dog from the trailer he could see the dog had been throwing up, was panting heavily, and could barely stand up. He got...

    Choosing between Spyder or Tri-Glide? Drawbacks for either?

    Well???? You have gotten MANY responses to your question from this forum and also over on the TrikeTalk forum. Surely you have enough honest, as well as biased, opinions to have made your decision??

    Any ideas on removing Compression Socks without working so hard?

    I have bought thigh-high compression stockings from this company - both the Jobst brand and the Sigvaris brand. I can't wear the knee-highs as the tops tend to cut into my legs just below the knee. This link shows some accessories available for getting the stockings on - not sure about off...

    Went To Buc-ee's in Atlanta!

    I never have been to a Buc-ee's. Heard a lot about them - all good. Have driven by the Buc-ee's around New Braunfels, TX on I-35 several times but never had time to stop. They are planning on building one on my side of the Texas Hill Country down by Boerne off of I-10 & 87. It was announced...

    How about heated gear - what's your favorite? Any other suggestions?

    I never used to wear heated gear. It was always too expensive it seemed when I could just bundle up and peel off later. However, as time rolls on it seems I don’t tolerate the cold well at all. I am an official coldy-cat now. Everybody I am now riding with has heated gear. For me it was...

    Looks like it's time to give up the ride - thoughts fm others who've faced this?

    Saw your Jeep pic album... beautiful! What a new adventure package!! Dunno... might be like my husband and I when we gave up tent camping and went to a motor home... we never looked back... the time was right.. Only you two can figure out what's best for you two. Wishing you more miles of...

    HowTo: My '21 RT Battery Tender Permanent Tail Installation.

    As I was reading the original post I wondered if somehow one could attach a small magnet to a piece of fishing line and lower it in to hopefully catch the bolt... thinking this might be skinny and flexible enough to wiggle around in the 'nether land to try and catch the rascal.. hhmm... might...

    How about heated gear - what's your favorite? Any other suggestions?

    I have a 12V First Gear liner that has a tab protruding from the bottom of the jacket with a push button that changes the heat settings. LOVE it! I chose Gerbing battery-operated gloves as I didn't want to take a lot of time unplugging from the rest of the gear or the bike when making gas and...

    The frequent lament of "they said my Spyder was not a real motorcycle!"

    I too have never received any negative comments. People usually want to know if it is hard to steer and are shocked to know it has power steering.
