    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

    Default Beautiful Day 24°

    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!

    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.

    Default 2DAY

    I RODE TODAY.... 1 JAN. 2015

    AS I TRY TO DO EVERY JANUARY 1....

    WE HAD 100%
    SUNSHINE, & 60 DEGREES....
    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.

    Default Friday Night 1-2-15 Date Night

    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.

    Great night, fun ride with the wife.

    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?

    Default Unusual January day in Indiana

    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.

    Went on a 50 mile Spyder Blast today. The roadside thermometer at Sheetz read 28deg F.

    A short rip on the Willow Street Pike produced a wind chill factor of 3deg F. (legally shouldn't have been lower than 8deg F) Couldn't help myself.

    C'mon Ground Hog Day. Means winter will be half gone and spring is on the way!

    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.

    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.
