• 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.

And you think Spyders have issues?!?!

I was talking to a friend this morning who owns one of the 1st Harley Trikes that came out (the FULL HD trike not a conversion kit). Took it yesterday for the 3rd time in a year because of brake failure. Had to brake hard to avoid a collision and went into limp mode. The other 2 times had the same problem, 1st time it happened after he stopped normally on a stop sign and went into limp mode, second time he almost got ran over because it did not fully stop.
 
Wait a sec-- Harley trikes have a limp mode too??

The horror... the horror.

Someone asked me the other day on why the :spyder2: took so long in starting up. And then when my (another HD owner, a 2010 Dyna SuperGlide) friend bought his, I saw that the salesperson told him that the computer had to boot before he could hit the ignition. Took as long as the :spyder2:!!

Yep... The Horror... The Horror!!!:roflblack:
 
If you are thinking of robing a bank LEAVE THE SPYDER RUNNING !

It takes forever to get her started.

And like I said...

Reallllly

?: Have you ever timed how long it actually takes for your Spyder to "boot" up? Since patience is not in my DNA...I did...seconds folks, seconds. Ahhh another reaction to our hurry hurry world.....
So do I need to just relax and enjoy that moment..truly is the only one I have...never know 15 seconds of stillness just mite put the winning lotto numbers into my head....oh dang
That means I would have to buy a ticket. keep wondering why I'm not winning!!!:roflblack::roflblack:
 
The bootup has never been an issue with me. I just turn the ignition key then put on my helmet and by the time I'm in the saddle its ready to roll. :thumbup:

That is what I do, but is it bad for the computer/Spyder to have the switch on without hitting the start button?
 
So the Tri-Glides aren't finding computing life to be all beer and skittles either... I wonder what the typical Harley owner uses the bootup time for?? (I use mine to slap the bucket on my noggin, get my gloves on and release the parking brake...):D

The only concern would be if you left the ignition on for a long period of time. It would eventually drain the battery because of the current draw from the lights and electronics.
