What did you do to your Spyder today?

Don't blame you.

@Dasmoetorhead,

Lately, all we have been getting is rain, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and strong thunderstorms. Some days it is dry, then other days it has been raining.

I don't do tornadoes. We had one once in Salt Lake many years ago. I'm not very keen on those things.

Hadn't ridden my Spyders or 2 wheeler since returning from the cross country trip on 6/10. Plans for a ride on Saturday got postponed due to having to pick my daughter up from the airport and doing some car shopping with the wife. This is all after picking up windows for my daughters home renovation. Sunday was spent with the wife, kids, and grandkids after church. I asked them if anyone wanted to go for a ride. The only one who was receptive was my oldest daughter, who wasn't dressed properly. They left about 8pm and I had to get out. So I took the F3 out for a 10 mile loop around the block and parked it for another day. Maybe things will work out this coming weekend.

This newest to me Spyder RTL did not have the little compartment door in the top case. It had a wrap around goodie bag holder that I removed. So today I made a DIY door. Velcro was already there in the compartment from the thing that I removed.

Rode down to visit my Brother & and talk shop. Beautiful day but a bit cool at 58°F.

Pics up the high school yesterday. 55° this morning and I’ll head out to feed my daughters dog while she’s away. Then prolly a ride out to Hampton Beach. Any one want to go? Sorry no pics! Still figuring out how to do thumbnails. (I got yelled at by the site police)

On the 21st of June I celebrated 3 years of owning my F3S, and I like and enjoy it more everyday.
Here she is on the day I rode it off the showroom floor.

I use https://www.resizepixel.com/ to down size pictures to 500xXXX. You then click Attach File in the block with the paper clip. You will get a picture with it's name and the work Insert... and a trash can on it. Click insert, then Thumbnail. The picture will insert into your post and block with it will below it. Just click save or post reply if you at replying to someone or a thread with a photo. And yes I have a few wipe lash scars for failures to insert photos correctly.

Taking a ride up to Glasgow Kentucky today, it sounds like a nice little town and I've never been.

Tuesday we jumped on the Spyder to head for Paducah KY for a Bob Evans run and an over night stay. Weather was nice but turned out hotter than forecast. It was good to get back home yesterday, but the Spyder did just fine on the trip. Oh and we tried the seat cushions that have been all over the internet ( gel honeycomb), don't waste your money.

Dang!!! I’m out of town today, otherwise I would have hounded you to meet up. Hope you enjoy the ride, and let me know if you’d want to meet next time.

When I 1st put the new EBC rotors & double sintered EBC brake pads on my F3S it seemed it took forever to get them bedded in. I was beginning to wonder if this upgrade was even worth it. But after a few rides it became quite clear that the Spyder was stopping better than ever and ZERO front wheel shake when braking hard.
The original rotors were warped at around 5000 mi. It was probably my fault for getting them way too hot coming down the " Snake Hwy 421" too many times going fast while trying to learn the dynamics of the Spyder. After that, I started slowing down a bit, but the new parts handle the heat real good. Never had another problem. That was 11,000 miles ago.
I'm wondering if the stock rotors are junk to begin with. I've never had rotors warp so quick. Actually Ive never warped rotors before. And from what I'm reading. I'm not alone.
Just my worthless tid bit of information.

Das,
How do the EBC Pads/Rotors look after 11K? How much pad life left, and are the pads chewing up the rotors? How are they on brake dust. I need new pads (9,900 miles) and am waffling between just doing OEM pads or upgrading to the EBC kit.
Thanks in advance!
