• 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.

    Buying used - 2015 Spyder F3-S - is this milage/usage a concern?

    I've got a 2015 F3-S with 13k on it that I'm considering selling. It's had the pulley recall done by Proshop Motorshop in Henderson, NV last year. New rear tire, oil change, and a service. My wife died recently, and I've just rolled over 80, with the accompanying medical problems. My question is...

    Blue Light Special Anyone?

    Move to rural Nevada. I haven't seen a NHP on Interstate 15 in a couple of years. Even the grannie ladies run 20-25 mph over the limit. And the limit here around Mesquite is 75 mph. Last week I got passed by someone in a beater Toyota who was going at least 25 mph faster than me. My speedo read...

    Planning a Pacific Coast Highway trip - looking for suggestions

    When the gentleman above me said "hot" he was discussing temps in the 100+ range. I've ridden that area for many a year, and finally bought a wet vest when I saw the giant thermometer in Baker reading 114 degrees. Be prepared, pack water. Don't try to stretch the daily drive. That will lead you...

    Decisions, decisions

    Well, I decided to take my 2015 F3 out this AM. Got right to the garage door before it hit me. Do I wear a sweatshirt with my shorts ... or ... I'm only going 31 miles up to Utah, so can I get away with just my long-sleeve T-shirt? It's 100% sunny, and the high is going to be in the low...

    Sidecar on a Spyder?

    Steering geometry would keep a sane man awake at night. The ?rig? would handle completely differently when turning right or left. The DOT people would go flipsoied when they saw it. You'd hear their laughs blocks away. First turn into the sidecar would be an education in understeer. If you...

    Hands going numb some... Ideas why? Any fixes?

    Have your spinal cord checked by a good back doctor. Mine is screwed up from a race car crash at Laguna Seca years ago. I'm 79, and the best solution I've found is cruise control. Had it on all my BMWs and now on my F3S. -

    998cc Anyone tried a 20-50 syn oil?

    BajaRon - I live in Southwest Nevada. I have seen temps as high as 116 on Interstate 15 from Barstow to Las Vegas. Even a wet vest didn't help. I finally found a motel and stayed until the next morning. I walked out to ride, and the air temp was 102 at 4 AM. I drank almost a gallon of H2O...

    Anyone else ever noticed how many really overweight guys ride Harleys?

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

    For the best of both worlds, find a Miata that has a small block Chev LS-3 properly installed. Kinda' a poor man's cobra.

    Imagine you are on your Spyder when this happens

    A few years back I was in southern Utah on my BMW R1200RT. Proceeded to smack a swarm of bees dead square at 55-60 per. I will leave it to your tender imagination as to what happened next!
