    Default Is there something wrong with my Spyder?????

    Buetifull morning left the house about 8:30 am. Had to go to the store to get cottage cheese for the wife. Left the store and all was well. Next thing I know the wife calls on cell phone and says, Where Are You? I said I'm in Mount Upton. She said what the h*** you doing way over there??? I replied I don't know! This dam Spyder got lost. She said Auh-Huh!
    now it's ten miles to the store, but when I got home there was 93 new miles on the trip meter???? Was it a rift in the time line? Do your Spyders get lost like that? Can't seem to train the dang thing

    Did it get dark out? There is an alternate universe some of us live in. It has to do with the speed of light and the speed of dark. When you are running at the speed of dark, no one can see you until you come out of the dark and you have been warped to another place and time. Happens to me all the time.

    Now it's clear. That must be why that 200 mph speedometer is there.

    I went out to the garage to check the oil - and ended up in Pennsylvania - not my fault, as the manual says the engine oil needs to be at normal operating temperature to get an accurate reading!

    This happened to me last Friday. Started out to go to a town about 150 miles away to get a tenderloin for lunch. Three other states and 518 miles, I got back home Saturday afternoon. At least I got my tenderloin.

    Default Unfortunately no cure has been created...

    It will have to be an after market modification as BRP says that is way to much for their highly ingenious technicians to handle. Happens to mine a lot and I have just come to accept that and roll where ever the red stallion may take me!!!

    Happens all the time to me!!! Went to the Pharmacy to pick up a Rx for my Better Half, 8 mile round trip. Stopped by a friends house to see how his tree house was coming (he is only 80).
    Got back home a couple of hours later and had put 80 miles on the Spyder. Funny how that happens!!!!

    We have a similar problem here in southern Minnesota. From my house to one of our local coffee shops is about 30 miles each way as the crow flies. On a motorcycle of any kind, it seems to be well over 150 miles round trip. We have studied it many times and just cannot figure out where the problem is. We will keep studying it until we find the answer.
