• 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.

Locking up Spyder

Looking for Info. on how different Spyder owners lock up their Spyders other than using the key when parked at night or any place other than home when on trips. Thanks for any suggestions.

No need...stop the bike, put on the parking brake, turn the handlebars and lock them one way or the other, and you're done...many leave the bike in first gear as well...that's a good idea too.
 
Look

I use a heavy duty lock from u-haul. Ilock it thu the rear disk brake. just don`t forget it`s there!!!!!!!!

I have the disc brake locks for both :spyder2:s. Turn handle bars toward the curb or the other :spyder2: and lock. Set foot brake and carry full coverage insurance total replacement. Good luck to the thief that can lift it and put in back of their truck or the side door of a van. Oh yeah, If Im near and see you, 44 mag is a great way to scare them. :roflblack:

Okay, now you have me thinking. I thought you could only lock the handle bars when turned to the left. I guess when I get offline I will have to check it out.

I thought about doing this but I'm 100% positive at some point I'm going to forget its there.

Yup- and then you'll have some serious damage to repair.

I leave the key in mine all the time (IPS) - just don't worry about it ----carry good insurance.
 
Thanks to Spyderwolf for this picture. This is MY deterrent system (besides a 9mm). I actually have it on my "glovebox" (the sticker):roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Gee... I just thumb the safety down on the .45... :shocked:

I know that it could be considered hunting over bait but... :roflblack::yes::shemademe_smilie::shocked:
 
Okay, went and checked it out. Yes, you can lock it either direction. Funny all this time I thought it had to face the left side.

It's designed to lock either way so parallel parking on a hill can be done up or down hill. Turning the wheels toward the curb just in case it rolls.
