• 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.

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    Having ridden Goldwing's for the past 30 yrs, there were guys on the different Wing Forums who talked about using The Shell Rotella oil without any issues, and how they saved money buying it over buying motorcycle oil. Some even found that since Goldwing's 1500 and 1800's used spin on oil...

    Lame USPS - sending my items on a nice long road trip!

    Before covid, I was working in a laptop repair depot, I shipped a laptop back to a guy in Dallas TX via UPS overnight, it made it to Dallas, was on the truck, back to UPS and shipped to Montreal Canada, then back to Dallas TX, out for delivery, back to the UPS terminal then to Montreal 5 times...

    Sound Cameras will be installed in Montgomery County, Md.

    At least they are using a real sound monitor to measure, here in Winona MN it's up to the discretion of the police to decide what is too loud, So you could be riding a Spider or a Goldwing with stock exhaust and if the barney fife is having a bad day you could get a ticket for loud exhaust

    Spyder crash, Prayers for this family

    One thing I learned a long time ago is, even though YOU think you made eye contact with a driver, they didn't make eye contact with you. And as a former OTR Trucker, it's amazing how many people to hit you or almost hit you will say "I didn't see you"

    Need to modify driver's seat on 2023 RTL - anyone made theirs comfortable?

    The seats are hard on the Spyder's, even the comfort seat isn't comfortable, I found cheap motorcycle seat cushion on Amazon, and it has made a difference! It also sit's me about an inch or so higher, which has also helped with leg cramps.. good luck on finding what works for you

    Your opinion on iMotorsports?

    I bought my 2022 S2S from them last fall, new in the box. The sales guy I dealt with was hard to get a hold of, we talked once, I told him I was interested in the 2022 S2S and he was going to get back to me, then I had to call him back TWICE! The 2nd time he picked up, and I know he had other...

    Another Dealer Drops the Spyder Line

    When I was at Moon's for the Spring Open House, I noticed they didn't have one on the floor - and they didn't have one in the backroom either. It made me wonder then. As far as Honda and a reverse trike, I waited and waited for the Neowing, but apparently, they just wanted to tease us.

    Had to wear Gloves for Can Am riding course - Do you wear gloves? Why? Or why not?

    I have ridden with fingerless gloves for years on my Goldwing's during warm weather, but am looking at full finger mesh gloves so the fingers can breathe but protect my hands

    Just had Cataract Surgery.

    I had mine done in my early '50's. The fun part of having them done is that for the first year, when looking at lights in the dark, there is a starburst look around the edges of the lens; and in mixed company, when the women ask how it went, you can tell them you've now got x-ray vision! Look...

    How likely are Gang encounters on the road?

    After traveling the last 30yrs on two wheels, (Goldwing's) solo, 48 states, and most of Canada, I have to say I have never been bothered by any motorcycle group. I think the scariest thing I ever encountered was in Texarkana AR, where my cheapness got in the way of common sense, and I ended up...

    Amsoil 10w-40 metric oil - what do you think?

    Since you brought that up, here in Minnesota, I have run AmSoil Metric motorcycle oil 10w-40 in my 5hp snowblower for years... the cool thing was, it could be -20 out and you could give it a tug of the rope to start it, and there wouldn't be any more resistance than if it were +40 degrees. By...

    Any Yokohama rear tire users? Which?

    Rear Tire questions OK, let me start with opinions are like Belly buttons. But I wanted to hear from those who have been on a Spyder for a while and get their feedback and hopefully BajaRon will weigh in. I went to Dealer today to get a quote on getting my rear tire replaced... I know it's...

    What Cleaning products for Sea-to-Sky seats? It's different material, isn't it?

    Anybody used Castrol EDGE Euro 5W-40 A3/B4 Adv Full Synthetic Motor Oil?

    I see this type of discussion on other motorcycle forums, and like others on those forums, I'll ask this, your Spyder isn't cheap, so why would you cheap out on oil?
