• 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.

Yesterday, I had to have my Spyder towed to the dealer 40 miles away. Still having trouble with the cruise control causing electrical probs. Called for roadside service and was told I'd have to pay a fuel surcharge!

Last time I used them, they had me towed to the wrong place in Indianapolis and then told me I couldn't have more than one tow every 7 days. So I paid $187 out of pocket to get it to the correct place!

Since then I got my Spyder added to my AAA membership. They came yesterday in 15 mins and towed my Spyder to the dealer.

BEST warranty is worth it but NOT for road service!!

How much does it cost to add your Spyder to AAA?
 
there is additional charge of thiry some dollars, i think to add motorcycle/RV to AAA but even if you have 200 mile tow service, it only covers 100 miles for RV/motorcycle... on my last break down last tuesday 150 miles from home on freeway, i had to go 100 miles, let them drop spyder and call for another tow... California AAA driver gave me the idea but he had to hand me over to AAA from nevada anyway so it worked out. he dropped me off at CA/NV stateline and NV AAA came in towed it to dealer in Las Vegas. i am paying total of 134 bucks a year and i can use them 4 times a year.
also does not cover key in the trunk for spyder. found out both key in trunk and 100 miles thing the hardway. :D

The AAA for bikes is expensive as they lump them in with RV's...

This makes another crappy story about the BEST warranty.

I only had ti use BEST once. I had GREAT SERVICE. Both on the roadside assistance AND the fully paid warranty work that was done. A few days in the shop and the bike was ready for me to pick up.

I LOVE BEST warranty Service :2thumbs:
 
If BEST roadside service SUCKS, it would only be logical that SUCKS roadside service would be BEST!

Don't you just love logic!? :yikes:

Oh, and please, no need to thank me.... It just comes natural! :D

So where can we sign up for Sucks Roadside Service?
 
We use Good Sam because we have a camper. They cover our motorcycles & cars also. I think we pay $139 a year to have them. Never had to use them (knock on wood) but have heard only good things about them. We also get discounts at campsites w/ it.

You won't know if we did or not until you pay me the money and see if I leave you stranded on the side of the road. ;) You pay your money, you take your chances. I may just give BEST a very good name. :D

To be clear, I meant the towing not the warranty part.

I have heard good reports of the road service... But too many people I personally know on this forum have had bad luck getting a tow to a bike dealer much less a Can Am dealer.
