• 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.

Ever Flip Over When Cornering?

A sway bar upgrade would fix a lot of that... :ohyea:

Buying mine soon... need to get through the current list of accessory purchases and installations first!
 
I've had mine on two wheels a couple of times. Always when I was talking a turn a lot faster than I should have. Only once did the nanny kick in. That was the one time I completely different think I was going very days. The other times I was off the throttle as soon as I felt the tire raise up, knowing I was going into the turn too fast. I wanted to see what the limits were.
 
I think it is safe to say that all those who flipped their Spyder are not here to tell about it. ;)

The first Spyder to flip over that I know, via SpyderLovers, was a GS. He went into a corner that had an oil spill on it. The Spyder slid sideways through the oil, hit clean pavement and flipped. He was able to push the GS off him. Adrenaline?

The second I heard first hand from the rider. He was taking his daughter for her first ride on a RT, she was early teens. He took the corner too slow, and it just fell over. Too slow for Nanny to kick in? They got the RT pushed back up and it didn't rattle the daughter at all.

The GS would have flipped no matter what. I'm betting the RT was new and hadn't gotten the RonBar installed yet.
 
I wonder how well the Police Edition Spyder is selling. Lifting the inside wheel is probably possible because of changes to Nanny specifically for the Police version.

Branson, Missouri already has 2 of the Police Editions. They so graciously showed up at a GWRRA Missouri District rally that I attended this last May. I did get pictures of them and if I can dig them out of my Iphone, I will post them. Sadly though, they were still running the crappy Kendas on them as they had only had them a couple of weeks.
