• 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?

I just reached the five year mark with my RT, and have just short of 25K miles. I wonder if that is more or less what the average Spyder owner does in the same time period.
I typically ride between 8-10k miles a year, but last year and this year are higher since a 48 state tour was included in the mix. That alone added 12,445 miles. I also spread those 8-10k miles between 2spyders and a 2 wheeler.
 
Did a 150 mile ride today and came across a Harley accident where it is reported that he was passing a truck and was struck while passing. Truck was not there and left the scene🤔
 
When and got the Arizona Spyder out of storage. I fired right up. It has been an a tender since early May.

Rode it home 2 miles without a helmet, as I forgot to bring it along. Man heard engine sounds that I do not hear with a helmet on.

Aired the tires back to my spec when I got home. Pretty hot to ride here right now, however I can look at it!

I did pressure wash the decks and put away a lot of my stuff before getting to the fun stuff!!! Now to find the GPS and AA screen. Might be in the truck, but I left it here until Carol can drive me back to retrieve it.

I have high hopes about getting to ride this week as the temps will be below 98 for the first time since the heat dome parked over North Alabama several weeks ago. The last time I rode her and filled her with gas was August 6th. The heat sucks when you are an ATGATT kind of guy. Getting ready to do the SW update and get the changes worked out BEFORE I ride it again. Last time it put all the audio on the bike speakers with out my asking it to.

Nice looking Spyder.
 
Short ride yesterday in and out of fog and mist. This is the wx pattern though winter. Misty foggy mornings, getting drier in the afternoon when its not raining. I still ride all year long.
