Hope you all enjoyed the owners event and had a safe trip to and fro. The wife and I decided to ride the full length of the Natchez Trace Parkway over Memorial Day weekend instead, since we have...
I have the UltraGard full cover for my RT-S, bought it new last November. Just sent it back for warranty replacement due to extreme fading and failed stitching. The cover started out black, but...
I have the UltraGard full cover that I bought new last November. It used to be black but now it is a very light gray as it faded something fierce. The stitching at the windshield is also coming...
I saw a red RS on the Natchez Trace Parkway over Memorial Day weekend, and I spotted 2 RT Spyders near Birmingham in I-59 headed north on 05/26.
They aren't sure what the weather will be like in 3 days, much less 4 weeks from now.
I really like those flag holders... but once installed, I wouldn't be able to put my cover on the bike.
We will ride over the mountain to Gatlinburg on Thursday or Friday on our own. We will ride the Dragon on our way home on Saturday.
I wear a full face modular helmet and didn't want to look so far down to see my GPS / Phone, so I added a ball to the dash. A short arm and an X-Grip and I was all set. Total time to install was...
The area in orange is where the event will be. Hope this helps. We have reservations at the Travelowes since it was half the price of the Comfort Inn.
...
I would be there but I will instead be at the big Armed Forces Day Car Show in Brent, AL that day.
We'll be at the Travelowes Motel, which is very close to the fairgrounds. I think right next door to the Comfort Inn, but was half the price when we made reservations. Most likely, you will have a...
I don't do anything other than take the key out and put the cover on it. The cover only goes on for overnight parking. Insurance has a $100 deductible if someone decides they want it bad enough. ...
I like many of the farkles and whatnots you can add to the Spyders, but most cost more than I am willing to pay.
The wife and I have a pair of Bell Revolver EVO modular helmets and we love them. Mine has a video camera and a Sena on it, the wife just has a Sena.
More info and pics here:...
No tickets on a bike or Spyder. Would have gotten one when I was young on a motorcycle, but I outran the cop. That was when I was 17 and invincible. Nowadays, I do the speed limit which really...
My camera will record about 3.5 hours on a full charge. If something happens on a ride, I simply reach up and turn the camera off then back on. This forces a new video to begin and thus the things...
The wife and I ordered riding jackets and they arrived this week. The first image is me posing in the Speed and Strength Trial by Fire mesh jacket. My helmet is a Bell Revolver EVO and helmet...

More riding time in April so more riding encounters to show you. Nobody died that I know of, but one of the car wrecks was pretty bad. Neither Cynthia...
I have an RT and added a 12v outlet to power my cell phone. I ran a fused wire to the battery for the hot side and tapped into a ground near the outlet. I installed a dash mounted holder for the...
I like my Spyder just as it came, no need for all that attention getting stuff. The Spyder does that well enough on its own. I did add a GPS mount on the dash and a 12v receptacle but that was for...
It looks like they have been jumping into the water from the dock repeatedly, and their path from the water back to the front of the dock is clearly wet. It is wetter where they are standing due to...
Must... hold... phone... sideways... when... making... videos!
The wife and I set out this morning at 10:00am to go for a ride. We rolled back in the driveway at 6:20pm. We ended up taking a long, leisurely ride starting in our home town of Centreville,...
We are very casual geocachers. We don't like to traipse off into the woods looking for them, but we will go after the ones that are relatively easy to find. I don't walk very well so searching for...
The wife and I have ridden scooters since 2008 and now we have our Spyder. We still have 1 scooter, they're just too much fun to not have one. Anyway, each year we try to do some sort of riding...
Open carry is legal in Alabama... and absolutely no one tailgates you when you have a Ruger Mini 14 slung across your back (I only do this when headed to the range). As for carrying a pistol while...
I use an old Droid X smart phone that is not activated for use as my GPS. I needed a turn-by-turn GPS that didn't not rely on cell service to function, so I downloaded the NavFree USA app from...
I don't know your story, but I can say, it is my opinion, that part of your problem is dealing with Big Number 1. Try Motorsports Superstore in Hamilton, AL. I am in Centreville and I take my bike...
Whatever is comfortable for you is what matters. Some folks may ride straight through, some may stop for a night or two. If you have the time, I would suggest taking a slow ride and enjoy the trip...
I wear a modular full-faced helmet because if I crash, I want my helmet scrubbing on the pavement, not my face.
