• 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.

    Random thought for the day

    Great song by "The Storyteller". He wrote many songs for well know country singers, including Harper Valley PTA.

    Currently 48 degrees here in the desert. Humidity is 68% and it's mostly sunny with a few clouds drifting around. Todays high will only get to 58..... cool for us. We had some pretty good (and loud) thunderstorms pass through yesterday. It was a good day to finish off my homemade beef stew and...

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    I migrated from almost all the gear all the time to comfortable protective gear all the time. Always wore at least blue jeans (+chaps and long johns when it got colder), over the ankle riding boots, modular helmet, fingerless nose pickers (full gauntlet leather gloves when it got cooler), and...

    Interesting conversation at the gas pump - asked why I chose to ride a Spyder rather than 'a real motorcycle'?!

    I'm not a very social person at the gas pump. Usually just want to fill up and go. Most bikers around here are like minded. But often times I'd have someone look at my Spyder and ask how I like it. My usual response was If I didn't like it, I wouldn't own it. That almost always sends them...

    It pays to buy quality gear

    Back in the 70s I bought an Eddie Bauer goose-down GorTex ski parka. I gave up skiing long ago but kept the jacket. Used it for cold weather riding. The wind, cold, and wet weather does not penetrate it. And after 50-some years, it looks good as new. It was very expensive at the time but...

    Currently in the desert: 62°F, partly sunny with a high-thin cloud, 3 MPH breeze, humidity at 60%. The high today will be 70°F and the overnight low will be 49°F. Looks like we'll get some cool, wet weather for Wednesday and Thursday. Time will tell. Stay safe..... Jim

    Any takers to Car wash your Spyder?

    Yup. A lesson I learned the hard way, on a wet, dark night with my house keys inside my wet rain suit. No one around and unable to get to my keys. Happened back in the 60s after spending a day riding dirt bike. Muddy, wet, slippery, I remember laughing at myself.

    Any takers to Car wash your Spyder?

    If you duct tape your sleeves and ankles over boots and gloves, make sure you have someone to help you remove the tape when you need to break out of your rain suit. I didn't. An experience worthy of Candid Camera....... :eek:

    Mostly sunny/partly cloudy here in the desert today. 70°/59°, 2 MPH breeze, humidity at 59%, and no rain forecast. My frustration with college football yesterday was rewarded with persistence. I found a couple of bowl games were being aired live on YouTube. Not the same quality as normal...

    Cloudy with off and on light rain showers today here in the desert. High will be 63 degrees and the overnight low will be 53. Humidity is 87%. The wind is calm. I'm a little upset today. I'd planned to spend a quiet day watching college bowl games. Discovered they are all on pay to view...

    See you next year!

    Way too much information for me! Been retired for 21 years as of today. Every day is a Saturday. The sun comes up. The sun goes down. Some days are warmer than others. Happy to wake up every morning. :)

    The rain forecast for last night evaporated before getting to the valley, at least at my house. Still a (diminished) chance of rain on Christmas. Often times we see a massive storm bearing down on us only to see it fall apart and disappear as it gets to the valley. I guess that what makes...

    Mostly cloudy with filtered sunshine here in the desert. Another 80 degree (record) day. It looks like the first wave of rainstorms will move in from California later tonight. Then we'll have a bit of a dry period until Christmas eve when the next wave of storms moves into the valley. Stay...
