On Saturday. Not in the same league as a lot of you, but I don't think it's so bad for 190 days.
Actually put about 450 mi on the Spyder on Sat.
To Phoenix and back. Needed to have Desert Dog look at a couple of items. By the way, belt re-tensioning quieted things down, not nearly as much howl.
Had a chance to see how well the Spyderpops air dam fix worked. In a word.....Great! On the open road 3 bars most of the time with some excursions to 4 in the hotter portions of the afternoon. In downtown Tucson, saw 5 bars when stopped in traffic, but dropped when fan came on and got some forward motion. The spyder outside air readings were as high as 107, and were in the upper 90's most of the time. For my vote, it's the best $25 I've ever spent!
First time in many years that I've ridden in severe crosswinds. Spyder was very stable, I on the other hand resembled a 'weeble' on wheels! Felt like a punching bag when I got home.
All in all a good day.
