    But every time i go to any one of these places when i return to the house my Spyder shows more than 25 miles higher!!!

    Do you think it could be the alignment???

    All helpful suggestions will be totally ignored.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this, as you can probably tell this is a boring day.

    If you send Joe out for ice cream; it's just easier to go along with him for the resulting 283 mile ride!

    In my experience, not only is the mileage far higher for these short run than one would expect, but sometimes the Spyder fails to visit the intended destination at all. I keep bringing this this to BRP's attention, but they give me BS about "rider error". I would consider yourself very fortunate that you even go to these places at all.

    Putting on all those extra miles is going to affect your up coming trade in value. See you at Spyderfest.

    Joe,
    Don't forget: Most accidents occur within three miles of home...
    I'd suggest that you move!

    Since you just got those nice granite counter-tops; perhaps try just changing your house numbers!

    I have a similar problem with my RT. The two and a half block trip to the mail box usually adds 75 to a 100 miles every day to the odometer. I always come back in a good mood though.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    I used too and still do to this day attribute it to POOR TRAFFIC, or an accident. Had to go the long way around, too get home quicker. 2 hours later pulling into the driveway and damn, forgot the milk. Out we go again. Oh well, no more excuses for the season as the SPYDEE in hibernation, till probably April/may or even later in this part of the world...
