What did you do to your Spyder today?

[spyderladyf3]

Went North today for my ride.
Trinidad Bay, Trinidad Light House, that used to be on Trinidad rock (the big one the right), then it's the Fisherman's Memorial on Woodly Island in Eureka, CA

It's a 2022. The BRP backrest is absolutely great. The Butt buffer pad has the USCG Insignia embroidered on it.

I looked into adding an aux tank and even purchased one for the RT, but we decided a Canyon is in the future, so I'll save the efforts for that machine.

I have a Camel tank on my Super Adventure 1290R and it vaccumes from the main tank vent too. I've only had an issue one time where the pressure/heat/elevation in the main tank increased faster than the fuel was used and the aux tank didn't empty right away. Simply pop the main tanks cap, and restart the vacuum building process.

Yep, that can happen but thankfully not often.

Rode from Lake Stevens, Wa to Edmonds Ferry then to Port Angeles where I grew up, looking at the homes the family had lived in. Then on to Port Townsend, touring around town waiting for a ferry to Coupeville. Crossed the Deception Pass Bridge and down to Stanwood for pizza at Jimmy's, then on back to Lake Stevens. 233 miles and two ferries. Left at 8 this morning and got back at 7:30 this evening.

Took a picture of my grandparent's home in Port Angeles, where I spent a lot of time as a kid in the 1950's, as we lived a few houses away.

It is now the "Captain Joesph House", a retreat for Gold Star families.

Port Angeles, I liked it there the few times I visited. The winters were mild, as were the summers. My X wife's aunt and uncle lived there. He was a crusty ol' fart, but for some reason, he liked me. He was a fisherman. He knew where to catch the fish. They owned a camp ground that was adjacent to Olympia Nat'l Park. Great time there.

I applied some leather cleaner/conditioner to the seats for the 1st time. Man, did they need that!

Picked up a new/spare key for the bike and will have it "cut" to the bike tomorrow and then programmed @ dealer.

Updated bike's Connect to 4.1 and restarted the system a couple times and checked/changed a few settings.

All is good!

Went for a ride south on CA 101 to visit my Brother. We talked bikes for awhile and then went out for some Tacos in Fortuna Ca.
Came back to camp and cleaned off 4 days of bug carcasses on the F3S.

Your camp site looks like it's tucked into the woods nicely.

Well kinda. Its just outside of town at a Moose Lodge in some ancient redwoods. The house that we raised all of our kids in is about 300 yds away lol.

Fortuna is all right. Home to the "Lost coast" and CC Radio...

I spent my last year and a half in the USCG at the Loran Station at Point Arena (1967-68), so I was up down the coast a lot. May 2024 I did Highway 1 North of San Francisco to 101 and on up through Oregon on 101 on the bucket list repositioning ride on the Hooker from AZ to WA. Aways wondered about the Lost Coast. Highway 1 from the Coast to 101 at Leggett has to be one of the most curvy roads of all time.

Wash and wax for Pearl ... was sooooo dirty

Ordered Xpel film from wrapmyspyder.com on Friday, and I should have it by Tuesday. Amazingly quick shipping time across the country from the US to Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

Your the BOSS! Good dog, awesome motorhome, and a sweet F3-S. In that order!

Don't forget the beautiful scenery.

 

[bluesmike]

I... went for my FIRST RIDE! I've had my '12 RT for a year. Long story different post. I need to get used to the power steering. I haven't ridden in 30+ years and my old Norton didn't have power steering.

Congrats on your ride!

Just be aware tho, Spyders don't really have 'power steering' so much as 'power ASSISTED steering', and the 'assist' bit scales down somewhat the faster you go, so that you don't spear off into the scenery at speed! That's definitely not a good thing to do!

Just Sayin'

Attached the back passenger rest to my 2016 RT-L. I assume it fell off when I hit a bump, because the last dude I had service it isn't a stickler for details.

 

[Jim's_Spyder]

I spent many hours changing plugs, checking the air filter, and removing dog food from the air intake on mine. Damn mice!
