• 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.

How about some good Spyder news

One year and 34,000 miles; Silver Dream is in love with me :opps:

Not much has changed>>>>>

except it has been several months since I have suffered any problems! Saturday Breakfast Buffet rides, occasional run out along the Gulf of Mexico, slow tours around the Alabama farm looking for critters, and still the top ride in the DaVita Dialysis parking lot.
 
Well over a year, and I'm sure Nancy would get rid of me before she would the Spyder. Considering she has kept me going on 35 years now, that's saying something!

Although I'm going in for service tomorrow, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping to get it back in time to break 50k by my one year anni on 6/21. My Spyder is on the road everyday, regardless of the weather and I also have to navigate some really, really ugly roads, so you have to expect that something major will break at some point.... but so far, everything has been very minor and quickly rectified by the good folks over at Garganos with their BRP support.

I heard Bob is gone to take a test ride on it all the way to Valcourt and break the 50k nojoke
 
I have yet to check my valves because 1: they don't act like I need to (no hard starting) and 2: I seem to find time for everything else but that. :opps: I know, I'm bad :lecturef_smilie:

I don't expect to check my valve clearances until I have at least 50,000 to 60,000 miles on my Spyder. Modern engines generally do not require more than this. Most Japanese bikes go at least this far with no trouble. The Harley V-Rod has the shim under bucket system and I don't think there are more than just a few Harley technicians who have ever seen a V-Rod that required adjustment. I believe all of the other Harleys have self-adjusting hydraulic lifters. BRP's recommended service interval is intended to please the EPA and not the Spyder owners. Of course, the dealers love to have you come in for an inspection of the valve clearance.
 
The only proplem I have with my Spyder is I don't get to ride it enough.
It is, hands down, the most fun and best vehicle I have ever owned.

Mike,,,, you not going to LA?
I will be in Pearcy, with Repo around the 20-21 and are riding together to checotah, ok...
Why don't you join us???
 
Saying I do is easy....

Would like to ride more but work has a way of tying you down but I totally enjoy the Sypder, short of 3K with no problems outside of recalls.... Go Spyder Go..:spyder: :yes: :ohyea: :yes:
 
Well, it was sunny and 70 degrees yesterday, so naturally I waited until that all blew out and went out on a ryde this afternoon when it was raining...

(I think I'll change my handle to "FoulWeatherRyder!")


Anyhow, daughter and I rode up to Vermont for a breakfast at Dot's Diner. I find that for the last fifteen months the Spyder has been my "ride to a diner" vehicle. The weather got mild and we had a very nice ride.

This is near the wind turbines on top of Searsburg Mountain.

I've never been happier with anything that I have bought than I have been with the Spyder. :ohyea: I have the TBR single with Juice Box and haven't gotten such good gas mileage as you, but I plan on taking it in for a check to see what my dealer has it "juice box" set at.:2thumbs: They have been GREAT so far with installations and problem solving. :yes:We DO need some positives on the website along with the problem issues. :spyder: Thanks for the info., appreciate it!:thumbup:
