• 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.

    Seat Upgrade??

    I got my Ultimate Tallboy, backrest, and gas door last summer for my RT and went on a 6300 test ride to Yellowstone. Three of the first four days were all 600 plus rides in 100 + temps with no monkey butt. Could not be happier..... Go for the side gas door, not having to remove my bag on the...

    Gas Price Survey 2013

    $3.01 to $3.39 for regular, all within 5 miles of my home here in Knoxville. Can't complain compared to what you guys are paying everywhere els. Keep hearing it's because of refineries being offline for one thing or the other. Don't believe it for a minute but what can you do? Ed

    Planning a trip to Niagara Falls/need your input

    Do it... Have ridden in Canada numerous times. Two years ago I meet up with some old riding friends from DC at Niagara Falls and road around to Thunder Bay, Winapeg, Sturgis, and back to Knoxville. One of the best rides of my life. Only thing I can add is if your going to stay in Canada for any...

    Two Brothers Exhaust

    I have the Two Brothers on my 12 RT and couldn't be happier. Nice sound without overpowering the IPod or CB. Don't forget to upgrade the air filter with a high volume model to max your performance and mpg's.

    Do you leave your helmet on the bike?

    If there is room in the frunk that's where the helmet goes, but if the bags are loaded it's where ever there's room. Of course when were on the run everything go into the room at night.

    longest ride in a day???

    Just returned from a 5300 mile trip to Yellowstone from east TN with the longest day being 670 miles, Lexington KY to Topeka KS. I agree with the others that with a good seat for your rear, backrest, proper riding gear, stay hydrated, and frequent breaks you will be just fine. But most of...

    No Runs No Drips & No Errors.

    The logistics just were not going to work to change the oil while we were on the road. I did change the oil just before I departed with synthetic and changed it as soon as I returned. I believe that I have read here that BRP has updated their recommend service intervals for oil changes from 3K...

    No Runs No Drips & No Errors.

    Thought I would share my latest Spyder adventure. For the past few years I have been getting together with old friends for our annual summer ride. We are east coast guys so in the past most of the rides have been in the northeast or places like Key West. Last year we road to Thunder Bay...

    HELP with HID Install!!!

    Last month I purchased the Xtreme HID from Xenon Depot for my 12 RT-Limited. Today while trying to install the kit it became very obvious that I either ordered the wrong kit or I don’t see the Plug & Play part. My spyder was equipped 9005 bulbs so I assumed, and we all know what that makes me...

    What’s Up With KewlMetal?

    My intention here is NOT to trash one of our forum sponsors, just curious if they are still in business? On June 1st I ordered a Run Turn Brake LED from KewlMetal for my spyder and my order was finally shipped 31 days later. During the delay I contacted KewlMetal and they told me that...

    Newbie with a question

    Similar issue. Similar issue for me later this summer. I have a 6K+ trip scheduled from Knoxville to Yellowstone in late July. If anyone has a recommendation for a dealer in the Montana / Wyoming region where I could get my oil change while I’m out there I would aspirate it. Thanks, Ed
