• 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.

    Spyder decisions - any suggestions on what to buy as my first Spyder?

    My wife and I use Leo's in Lakeville, MN. I have dealt with them since 1995. We have purchased 3 Spyder's from them and have had multiple friends deal with them also. They're friendly, knowledgeable, and have 2 good Spyder mechanics. They're a family owned business with the second generation (2...

    New Owner of SpyderLovers.com 02-19-2026

    LaMonster, I first found you on the Vulcan Riders site and learned a lot from you about my Voyager (I still miss that bike). When I switched to the Spyder, I found Spyder Lovers and have been a fan and avid reader since. I will say thank you for both sites, and please know that God still has...

    Is anyone out there Ryding with a Pacemaker?

    I have been riding with a pacemaker since September 26, 2018. Without it, my heart would maybe beat about 10 times per minute (kinda on the slow side). My cardiologist and I have no concerns about riding the Spyder or driving my truck. Go for it. As far as health goes, you should feel much...

    Be careful of advice... Never Grease your Sway Bar bushings!

    My wife and I attended an over 55 driving class. I had 34 years of Law Enforcement experience. We had an "expert" in the laws of Minnesota that sat in front of me during the class. He admitted that he was a self employed handyman. It was amazing that he was so well educated (?) in the laws...

    I am still riding at 76 with two knee replacements, a pacemaker, a neck fusion, and a stent in my left carotid artery. My wife is still riding at 75 with two hips replacements. We are both on F3L's. Your riding is only limited by your desire to continue.

    Ever driven your Spyder onto a ferry?

    I've taken a ferry across Lake Michigan and there was no ramp. The deck was level with the dock, and I had no problem, drove straight on. That is what you need to look at.

    Latest BRP Safety Bulletins for Shaft Replacement (2019-12) and Shaft & Sprocket Replacement (2019-13) Recalls - Jan 2025

    My wife has a 2017 F3L that is within the mileage range for the recall. My question is, has anybody had the shaft actually fail? Both of our bikes are in storage for a few more weeks here in Minnesota. We have talked to the dealer, and they are going to be working on several Spyders that they...

    Test Drove A Goldwing Trike

    A friend had a Triglide in the early 2000's then went to a Stallion. He let me drive it and it was tough to like. The wind whips around the windshield and beats you up. When driving or parking it you couldn't tell where the front end was because of the design making it hard to figure when you're...

    Lame USPS - sending my items on a nice long road trip!

    I had a high school classmate that passed away and was cremated while away from home. His cremans were shipped home via USPS to his wife in Pennsylvania. They never arrived and USPS can't find them or give her any information. He died in February 2022. True story.

    Just had Cataract Surgery.

    I know what you mean, I had my right eye done on tuesday, September 3rd. I get the left one done on the 17th. It's nice not having to wear glasses all the time. I only need cheaters for reading and I can live with that.

    Most amount of miles/KM you have ridden in one day on the Spyder

    In 2018, I rode my brother back to Texas from Sturgis as he was suffering from cancer and my SIL asked me to escort him home. First day was 415 miles, second day was 450 miles and we stopped in Norman, Oklahoma. We parted ways the next morning at 6:30 am and I was home in my driveway at 8:45 pm...

    How long did it take to get your Ultimate Seat?

    My wife and I both have one on our F3Ls. Definitely worth every penny. They were ordered and shipped quickly. Definitely worth it in our opinions.

    Burning Pain in Shoulder Blades - seating, handlebars, or helmet? Any ideas??

    I had a similar experience and found out it was the handlebars. I switched to the short reach bars and that cured my problem. If you know of someone that has a set up similar to yours with different bars, see if you can go for a ride. Just my $.02 worth of info.

    What GPS are you using?

    I also use the Moto Pumps security lock for my XT. I have the LaMonster bracket and have left the XT mounted when I am away from my F3. I wear a doo rag head cover, so when I get off the spyder, I take it off and put it over the XT. Out of sight out of mind. Less prying eyes and fingers.
