A week of 80's for us.

The Cicadas are coming, the Cicadas are coming, the Cicadas are coming. According to the map, looks like we are going to be ground zero.

We had both the signature light and the bump skids on our F3L's.

The signature light was more for show but not good for nighttime lighting.

Come back as often as you want to reminisce. We still have a good group of people to talk with. :yes:

An answer from the "other side."

I used Kenda's on all but two tire changes. Both "other brands" never got tested out in full because I sold both machines before the tires wore out. I have...

:welcome:

Just an additional thought...

And they have maintained their reputation from day one. :2thumbs: :firstplace:

Severe weather in the area. Yesterday, the storms passed through parts of NW AR. The storm line missed us by one county. More of the same today, but the storms are further north and west and look...

Nice tradeoff. Nice looking Miata. :firstplace:

Come back once in awhile. You know you will miss us. :yes:

My 02. Riding solo with a partner is great. You can stop where and when you want. Things seem to fall apart when you join up with someone that sticks to "their way" of riding and it sometimes is...

Another group of "cooler" days. Low 70's. I guess that I am finally getting acclimated to the Southern Midwest. These days 70 feels cool. I am even liking those lower 80's as my favorite...

I used to like the Rand McNally paper maps.

We bought a new Garmin for the trip from AK to AR in 2019. It sent me down a wrong road in Iowa and took me 20 miles out of the way before I caught...

Where can I get me one of those ??? :roflblack:

Sadly: a sign of the times. No problem for some places to take your money, both on the trade in and on the sale of a new machine. Have policies in place that encourage you not to come back for...

Use KBB or NADA blue book for a guide.

You will see trade in price, private party price, and resale price. Trade in is always on the low side, while retail is on the high side. The price to...

Teaching some people to drive can be a real issue. Personalities kick in and stuff happens.

In your case, let someone else teach her the basics. :bowdown:

Hoping you can get the information you are looking for. I am guessing it was a "Premier" edition 2008 GS.

:welcome: It is nice to hear from a member that was here before I came on (2/2010). I...

Right On RS. :yes:

I have been there and seen the Bonzo's lining up to "pet the kitties." :roflblack:

Glad I have not seen an actual attack. That could get ugly for sure. :bowdown:

Wow! What a ride!

A very capable rider, but not my style :bowdown:

I did like the "brakefree" light on Martin's helmet. I had one of those on mine and this is the first time I actually got to...

You probably won't get slammed. The posting rules prohibit that. :bowdown:

However...you will hear some opinions that you may not agree with, if, you are a Tri Glide proponent.

The subject...

You did not miss them. There were none. The only time I ever followed a dress code was at the annual business meeting for a company I used to work for. It was "business meeting, business attire." ...

Very true. 70 degrees was about as hot is it got in Anchorage. We did move to the Southern Midwest. It does get hot down here in Arkansas. Our first year here (2019) we went to a rally in OK. ...

I had one of the early SM (2008) and early SE (2009). We lived in Alaska and had no overheating problems that we were aware of. That was one accessory that we did NOT add. :yes:

Off topic: But...

Cowboy boots are another article of clothing. I always wore engineer or wellingtons when aboard any motorcycle or Spyder. They offer some protection but are not foolproof. I...

I have a "dead" left foot from the ankle forward. I had to give up playing the steel guitar because I could no longer work the foot pedals with my left foot. The SE transmission on the spyder was...

Cat Defense works. Any critter that is dumb enough to make it in the house is destroyed before they get off the doormat. We have four units ready and waiting. And then there are the two garage...

I used to be a leather merchant. I worked with it for 29 years.

For real: A hide of chap leather, (one half of a whole cowhide, called a side, usually about 24 sq. ft.) will make one pair of...

Most Spyder owners are not the biker gang types. I have several vests. I have a couple that I consider "show" vests. I have not worn them in several years. I have them packed away in a cedar...

Bottom Line:

Keep it friendly and don't forget the site rules about posting. :bowdown:

I put a Corbin seat on my 2008 GS Spyder. It even came with a built in gas door. I always thought it was necessary to replace the OEM Spyder seats. I did it on six out of seven Spyders over a 15...

This discussion will go "round and round" depending on the current readers.

I have made my comments earlier on but will reiterate one more time.

Early on 2008 when I purchased one of first...
