• 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.

got up this morning to snow-dusted roads. no way can drive spyder on snow!!! major fish-tailing!!! people say they drive on snow but my experience is opposite! back end fish-tails easily even low throttle!
 
I think they mean they ride once it has snowed and the roads are cleared and dry again at least that is what I do:thumbup:

That would be nice. It has at least spit snow here every day for the last 20 days, with no end in sight. Afraid the driveway is irretrievably iced over. Looks like the Spyder fix will have to wait for Spring now. Rats!

I feel for ya were winding down here also but Im coastal CT.
so some times we luck out :doorag:
 
We have been lucky here in NorCal - lots of sun - kind of cold - mid 40s-50s. Went for a 200 mile ride today with my motorcycle group - great time! At least 3 of the guys on this ride want to buy a spyder after seeing how it performed today!
As far as snow......I will take out my Can-am Outlander 800 -- not the Spyder..... :>)
 
Have the :spyder:loaded on the trailer as we will be moving to Florida the middle of January. Can't wait.:yes:

Welcome to Florida "I KNOW ITS EARLY" but if you're in Jacksonville hollar we'll get a couple of Spyders together and Ride around. Maybe it'll turn some heads.

welcome

had to ride home in the snow from work.Now have to clean off the salt in the morning.

How did it handle in snow?

I rode in the snow once before also. Same as hondaman, left for work with clear roads and got snowfall, about a half inch, while at work so I had to ride home in that. The Spyder handled just as you detailed. I had to baby it home most of the way as almost any snowy road patches caused the rear tire to break loose. If there is snow or ice on the roads, I don't ride. If there is snow on the ground but the roads are clear, I'll consider riding as long as the forecast doesn't call for any snow while I'm out.
 
Ever since I installed my F1 EIII Slider windscreen, it has snowed almost every day. This morning (Sun. 7th) we have moderate snow falling with 20mph wind. The temp is 24F. spYdie will remain in the cave.

per your recommendation i ordered F1 shutters; waiting for delivery. was the installation difficult? can a lazy moron do it?

I hope I didn't mislead you. I have NOT purchased the shutters, though I intend to do so.
In my conversation with Marcel, he told me shutters are a 5 minute job and not difficult.
He also told me that they are very effective in redirecting windstream away from rYder.
Let me know how they work for you.
