• 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.

Can-Am Spyder Owner Event

Scoot, Cindy & I will be heading up that way too. I'm gonna probably leave the weekend before and do some exploring. I may even head up to Virginia and then come back down on the BlueRidge Parkway.

Mine is everything Lamont said that it would be once it was introduced. I feel the ride is better than my 2010 RT with the Elka's. I have noticed a slight wander at 60 MPH +. I also have noticed it wander when I really apply my brakes. I'm not experiencing anything like some have reported on theirs. I feel that my 2013 takes corners better than the 2010 with the Elka's. I feel much more comfortable taking them aggressively.

This has been my first experience with a trailer. I don't even notice it behind me but for the ball and hitch sound at slow speeds. I am practicing on backing. Backing this thing is a lot different than a boat. This trailer is a lot more sensitive to movements when backing.

I don't experience the vibration that my 2010 had. In fact this thing is really smooth. My wife loves the smoothness and she feels more secure on the 2013.

I would have preferred adjustable shocks. However, I can live with what I have. If I feel this needs to be addressed later on which I don't now, I'll do it.

I like the fact that the battery is up front. I had my tech put a 12 volt outlet in my left speaker grill when he assembled my spyder. (no cost).

Last, but not least, I love the color. I didn't realize that the trailer did not come (factory) in the "circuit yellow" color. My dealer, when making me the deal, on the 2013 RT-S, included the painting, etc., of the 2012 trailer.

All in all my new spyder is everything that Lamont said it would be and then some. Although I didn't have a lot of choice in waiting in that I was rehabing from my injury, I'm glad I did.

Hope this helps.

Scooter and Doc, are you staying at microtel and ryding up to Lamonts on Saturday, or are you moving to a motel up there? We booked Thurs and Fri before we heard the date for Lamonts was Sat. I am leaning towards extending Microtel another day instead of moving

Debbie and I are arriving at Microtel Inn on Wednesday and checking out on Sunday. Going to Lamont's on Saturday and coming back to Microtel after BBQ. However I need Lamont's address again, so I can put it into my GPS. :dontknow::dontknow:

We're moving the Toy Hauler to a different campground (Bailyton RV Park) on Saturday Morning. It is at I-81 Exit 36.

I just changed our stay at Microtel to arrive Wednesday and leave Sunday to head to Carol's sister north of Charlotte.
When are you leaving here?
