• 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.

Thinking about a RT-S or Limited

Oh for heavens sake.....I do NOT text and drive....I was talking about everyone else!!! Not sure why you would think anyone would actually write that they would since they would be quite the fool. I'm sure that many of us have been going down the road watching people text, surf the web and gawd knows what ever else. I can say I've never seen a biker nor a Spyder owner do any of the fore mentioned stupidity.

Here is a picture of me and a couple friends jumping at Little Sahara in Oklahoma, I'm the one in yellow!

Laser alignment is the first on my list.

I want to know how you managed to text while doing that and do they really have cell service there?:roflblack::roflblack:
 
Hi Tom,
i wont repeat what you've already heard several times on this thread. It's sound advice, but I'd point out that MSF training is designed for maneuvers specific to two wheeled bikes, and unless they've added a three wheel curiculum, much of it wont apply.

i suggest you order David Hough' s book "Street Strategies". It will give you numerous tips on street riding. The name of his other book on the subject escapes me right now, but I'd buy both. Both are illustrated with photos and diagrams.

i suggest you not worry about accessories. After you buy, you'll see tons of them on other bikes, and reading and asking questions will help avoid buyer's regret about accessories down the line. The only exception is intercom and/or bike to bike communication. I have and like the Cardo G9s, but the Sena units are more compatible with the bike's electronics, specifically the blue tooth dongle. Most members here feel the Can Am CB option is a waste of money.

There's little difference between the LTD and "S" models except for chrome and GPS. If you want GPS, it's cheaper and easier to get it at the time of purchase.

i wish you luck and safe riding, whatever you decide.
 
MSF does Trike and CanAms

Hi Tom,

I know for a fact that there are both MSF and GWRRA Trike-specific courses (in Virginia at the very least if not nationwide yet), though one difference is that the MSF VA course includes Side Cars and the GWRRA has a separate class for sidecars. But both trike courses do included CanAms. A friend with a Harley trike just paid $185 for his Trike class through MSF (he couldn't make the scheduled date for the GWRRA one), and there were CanAms in his class. That is one advantage to the MSF run courses - they are usually monthly depending on the area; smaller groups like GWRRA tend to do them once or twice a year. However, I am not sure if MSF does an ADVANCED/EXPERIENCED Trike Course. The type of course you take after you ridden for a bit to test your new skills and see where you need to learn.

but go here: http://www.msf-usa.org/Default.aspx to see what additional courses are offered in your area.
