• 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.

    Madstad out of business - Sept 2025

    Too bad. They made excellent products, as I owned a couple of their shields/hardware over the years.

    Can Am Spyders Resale value isn't great...

    Location has so much to do with resale value. Here in WI, with a short(er) riding season, resale value is usually less than the national average. I dealt with it a couple years ago when I sold my 2019 F3S. Maybe try to sell it in your winter home locale :)

    What kind of Canyon Rear Tire Life are you seeing? What Replacement Options are there?

    How about a snow type tire? Flip the white lettering inside :) I ran a Goodyear Ultra Grip 215/60R15 on my F3S and loved it. They were my year round tire of choice on my state patrol cruisers...

    I took the little bike for a "End of season ride"

    Since I put the Spyder away for hibernation late last week, I put todays good weather to use and took the new little bike on a end of season ride. My last ride of the year is usually to Poopy's Bar down in Savanna, IL. For me, it's about a 220 mile round trip ride. With a whopping 18 miles on...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    That's why when I remove them off the wheels for winter storage, I also remove the batteries..

    Blue Skies, dry roads, and 70° - Great Spyder Ride! If this is "global warming", bring it on!

    Yeah... I had a KTM 390 Duke for a season, until I sold it in April 2024. I regret that decision, hence the 401. :)

    Blue Skies, dry roads, and 70° - Great Spyder Ride! If this is "global warming", bring it on!

    I'm thinking my Spyder season is done. Since I'm picking up my new toy Tuesday, any available riding time will be on it to add to its 7.2 odometer miles :)

    I just bought a new toy yesterday :)

    Back in April of 2024, I sold my little 2022 KTM 390 Duke. I cited the reason as not riding it enough. Fast forward to now, it was a decision I deeply regret. I truly enjoy my 2022 RT S2S greatly, but I miss two wheels! Took a 35 mile ride to the local KTM dealership to scope out some current...
