• 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.

What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

What state is this Curtis Museum located in? How much time do you think a person would need to see everything?
I know Google has some answers, but I am old school. I prefer getting first hand information about things.

Thanks for your Time. (y)

It's in New York State in the Finger Lakes region. Take at least 2 hours to see it. They used to have pretty cheap well made Glenn Curtiss t-shirts for sale. Watkins Glen Roadcourse is nearby also. That's worth a visit, and for $20, you can take 3 laps around the track following an instructor at about 80mph. We were there during a Ferrari club event, they were every where in town.
 
Finally got my Garmin XT2 mounted to my satisfaction. The first install was with a handle bar clamp RAM ball mount. I was never really happy with it as it was hard to get it to not move all the time and the best I could get it adjusted often blocked the turn signal indicators on the dash. Later I added the Garmin glove controller so there went more real-estate on the bars. This caused the Quad Lock mount for the phone to move and it was impacting the XT2 when I tried to attach the phone. I lived with it for a few months then decided to change it up. I bought the Lamonster GPS Swivel mount along with the MOTOPUMPs Security lock. I liked the design of the lock but with the old ball mount it did not make sense.

Now I have a nice secure, solid mount for the XT. But after a few rides it is too low for my liking so I made an adapter plate that would move it up and closer to the dash without covering the indicators. Very happy now with the final product.

Watkins Glen is one of the courses I intend to race when I get my racecar back on track. 👍 :cool:

To add to the above, Watkins Glen State Park is kinda neat. Also, if you like wine, there are enough winery's to keep you busy for days. Just be careful how many you sample in one day. LOL

Oh, yeah. If you head back towards the Catskills, there is some fine riding.

What did I do to/with my Spyder today?? Nothing.

Next weekend, I will change the oil & filter, then put Stabil in the gas tank. Then I'll put it on a battery maintainer and put it in for a long winter's nap.

Then when the time comes prep the snowmobile for the snowmobile season, I hope to have a great snowmobile season!

I've got to have at least one more ride on mine. Got caught in a hail/rainstorm Friday afternoon and the rig is covered in crap. I'd like to wash it before I put it away and I've already got my outside tap shut off and drained so I'll be taking it to a carwash.

Huh? Don't you just wait for the next rainstorm, then go for a ride?? :unsure:

That's what I do, only if I'm 'washing' the Spyder, I won't go play in the mud like I'd usually do, just take a bit of a run around the local streets and then give it a quick blow dry with the leaf blower and rub-down when I get the Spyder back into the shed - bike all washed and lookin' spiffy! (y)

And if it's the right time of day, with not too much other traffic around, no kids on the streets, and I reckon I can get away with it, I might even have a cold shower while I'm out there... ;) Not if it's too cold of course, or if it's absolutely pelting down with rain or hailing either - you don't even hafta be going fast for that to hurt like buggry on bare skin! :oops:

Just Sayin' ;)

LOL, I do my damnest to avoid rain. If man was meant to ride in the rain, we wouldn't have invented rainsuits. :-) Besides, the rain was bad enough but the hail was the icing on the cake.

What's a rainsuit?? Is that sorta like a 'Birthday suit'?? :unsure:

I agree tho, hail really does hurt when you're riding in your Birthday suit! 😖 But you can lather up and shower as you ride if it's just rain... or you just can wash all your riding gear as you ride, as well as washing the Spyder. 😁
