I took my Spyder out of hibernation yesterday for about 50 miles and today over 100 miles. Today started around 30 and the day ended around 56. Some really nice riding. Will put Spyder back to bed tomorrow.
If you take your spyder out of hibernation again put some miles on your spyder for me. We have had unusual weather up here in Vermont,, it has been warm, rain, But we got a snow storm on Thanksgiving Week-end, and got 18 inches of heavy, wet snow. Deanna

It was sunny and a warm 24° today so I took Salsa to work. At lunchtime I went to Cycle Gear for motorcycle stuff then Chipotle for food. Folks stop to have a lookey-loo at the Spyder. The sofritas and fixings were delicious!
Setting out soon for our annual New Year Day sunrise at the beach, temp is now about 35F, not the coldest new year but close. Pics to follow.

Traditionally, in these parts, motorcycle riders do a New "Years Day Ride" just to kick off the new year on a positive note.
I didn't see any posts of Spyder Ryders doing this. It's a pretty big thing in the Motorcycle community. We rode 125 miles today and didn't see as many bikes as I have in the past.
What's going on, it was a sunny day with temps in the 50's.

I did a short, 76 mile ride to go buy my wife the news paper... i left the house in Easley, SC, and headed north on Rt. 25 in Greenville to the North Carolina boarder... made a turn at Exit 1, and headed south on Gap Creek Rd, through the back roads - aka: horse country... the crystal clear air filled my lungs with a drug only God can produce... it clears the heart and soul and of course, the brain, of all of lifes negatives... i stopped twice to view the horses in the pastures, and watch the water flow gently in the Saluda River (should of taken my fishing rod with me).... my SPYD3R & i enjoyed our ride.... WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE...

I did about 50 miles today, mostly with a GWRRA Club, Chapter F from Fairborn, Ohio. they have doing longer then I have with the, mine started 2007. New Years day or close to it as possible. We started one year at 15. Local TV station, channel 2 even had us on the evening news with a positive comment about starting the new year out right.
Have fun and be safe

Rode again today around the metro area 90 miles.
Stopped at Hyatt's gun shop, they advertise as the largest in America??? It is comparable to a kid in a candy store for a gun enthusiast.
Also stopped at a couple cycle gear stores. Ended the ride with a few miles of cool rain. The Spider's sure do handle wet roads easily.

Took the Spyder out for a quick run to the hardware store, followed by dinner about 20 miles away.
Heading towards dinner we stopped and got a few photos of some still remaining Xmas lights outside a gated community.
After dinner, under a bright moon and clear skies, we rode along the Atlantic Ocean on A1A towards Palm Beach.
Made the stop at our typical Ice Cream Club shop. Nice Goldwing was there adorned with a lot of red LEDs, pretty sweet overall. Ice cream shop was packed with people, majority were tourists or snowbirds. We joked at how busy it was in early January, but in the middle of summer there is a fraction of the people.
Still heading North on A1A, we hit the main road to head west, back towards home.
You have PMS! (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome)[/QUOTE] LOVE THIS SAYING, so true tho, and am still so jealous of the other SPYDER'S living the dream and still riding. Like a few other riders asked, put on a mile or 2 for us. Thank's and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The sun was finally shining, mid 40s, getting up to the 50s, time to get the bikes out and hot up the engines. We decided to go to a biker bar on Hempstead Highway. It has bar in front and food behind. Every time we had rode past, it was crowded with bikes.
So we bundle up (anything in the 40s is cold in Texas) and head out down the highway. We get to the bar, Jimbo's Roadhouse in the front and Back Door Pizza And More behind it. Where's the bikes? Only trucks around the place? Hmmm...
We discovered amazing Italian/New York food. Oh my word, we need to go back to try more of the menu. Yummm.
Afterwards, I walked up front to the empty bar and asked a biker looking guy where everyone was. "They might show up later when it warms up a bit"
Guess we're not bikers?

Very Happy Ryder... '09 Phantom and a '15 F3-S
If you don't slow down, they can't catch you..
If you don't give up, they can't win.
What a long strange journey its been.
left the house this morning at 9:30AM & 33F degrees.... 100% sunshine... and rode off to Hiawassee, GA to have lunch with a bunch of other SPYD3R riders.... after lunch and chit-chat, we all rode back home... it hit 59 for a high... 199.9 miles round-trip..... nice... clears the brain of all the cobwebs....

It was almost 50 here today so we had to get out and ride a while. Stopped by the store for some food for our CMA president's family. He lost two sons due to an icy road in a 4 wheeler one vehicle accident early Saturday morning. They were both in their 20's. So it was a happy, sad ride today. Logged almost 50 miles.
Made it to 45 degrees in central Ohio yesterday. I installed my X-Grip RAM mount, crampbuster, and passenger armrests. When I was done I had the choice between washing the Spyder or riding the Spyder. The wife said let's go riding.
I guess the Spyder will stay dirty for a few more weeks.
Leaving in the morning for a 6 day ride to CA. Meeting friends from Phoenix, Oceanside, and Mexico at a little town named Julian. Visiting and RON at Borrego Springs, Oceanside , San Diego, El Centro.
Temps to be in high 60's to low 70's.
Arizona and Southern Cal are wonderful this time of year.

Did both here, washed the RT then rode it to get it dirty again.
It needed the bath, last ride ended in a good rain storm and it went through some mud puddles getting home.
