WE ARE ALL ITCHING TO GET THE WHEELS OUT ON THE ROAD. ONLY ONE PROBLEM, ROAD SALT. WITH THE LATEST OF SPRAYING THE LIQUID SALT ON THE ROADS, IT TAKES A NUMBER OF RAIN DOWN POURS TO WASH THE STUFF AWAY. OUR GROUP NOW HAS GROWN TO 14 RIDERS AND A LOT OF OUR RIDES ARE ALREADY PLANNED OUT. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree.

I will be heading to Portage for a meeting on Monday. I plan on riding the Spyder their and back so keeping my fingers crossed for good weather both ways.

It would be nice to get out for a little spin, but the salt remains....I rode around town the other day where they don't salt. Nice to know everything still works as it should. Are any from your group going to Spyderfest? We're heading that way on Wed and looking for a few to ride with if interested. Planning on leaving Wed mid morning, and arriving Thur around noon. No interstates, just decent highways. Shoot me a PM if interested.

THAT WILL BE A NICE RIDE AND HOPEFULLY THE ROADS ESPECIALLY THE POT HOLES ARE TAKEN CARE OF. LAST YEAR WHEN OUR GROUP WAS OUT WE HIT ONE HECK OF A CUT OUT ON A COUNTY ROAD. AS A RESULT OF THIS, I PUT A SHIELD ON THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE THAT HAS RUBBER BUMPERS ON IT. MY SON LIVES BETWEEN EXCELSIOR AND ST. BONI. WHEN I AM UP THERE I ALWAYS GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN ST. BONI TO CHECK ON WHAT IT NEW. HAVE A SAFE RIDE!

IMHO....if the salt is dry , I don't think it's going to be a problem................clean Her after the ride, compressed air will work very nicely.........Mike :bbq:

YOU MUST BE A YOUNGSTER. WE ARE ALL MUCH OLDER RETIRED GUYS. WHEN YOU GET OLDER, YOU FEEL IT BUT KEEP ON CHUGGING. NOW FOR THE CAPS, MY EYE SIGHT IS NOT THE BEST BUT IS FINE FOR DRIVING AND RIDING. SO, NO OFFENSE MY FRIEND.
