My brother and his family are in town through that weekend but I should be able to make it.
The last 3 times I filled the gas tank, when I started the bike back up there were no bars and the gas light was on. The first time it took about 5 minutes for the bars so start building back up to...
If I would have check the posts I would have been there. I'm sorry, I was wiped out from being in this beautiful weather all day.
I am not a mechanical person AT ALL. I do computer work but I hate any kind of auto work, plumbing, construction, electrical. I call the experts.
I did the risers myself because I was determined...
A Spyder backpack might be cool, I just may have to bring someone down there. Also need to pick up an oil filter, change is due soon.
I'd love to go but I don't think I can get off work on the 30th. Been at new job 3 months and they fired the other guy last week.
Just another reason I'm happy I left the Great White North. I've been able to ride every day since moving here. Temp Gauge hit 39 yesterday morning on the way to work and I didn't see 1 other cycle...
There is a good chance my wife and I will be there for the event. We will be riding down from north of Tampa, if anyone wants to meet up along the way and ride together.
My wife and I have been in Dade City for about a month now and would love to meet up with other locals for some rides. I'm not missing the winter up north, it was a bit chilly (41') this morning...
I am originally from Michigan but as of tomorrow (10/4) will be moving to the north Tampa area. I hope to meet alot of the local Spyder lovers as I have met many in Michigan.
I wanted to create new thread but you guys helped me out. 90% done deal that the wife and I are getting ready to move to the Tampa area. I'm just waiting on the "official" offer. Start date is...
I have heard the noise at lower speeds but can't say for sure if it is related to MY problem.
I had the issue with the brake squeal and the parking brake sticking ALSO I noticed that my mpg was...
I got my 3" risers today (very fast shipping) which will be an addition to the 1" I had installed. I will hopefully get to install them tomorrow.
I came from a Vulcan so the cruising position,...
I agree to be careful on ordering from any online store let alone a "camera and electronics" store but I wouldn't label "all" of them suspect. I have ordered items from some of these stores before...
I did a quick search to check prices because that does sound like a good deal.....

We had a guy with our dealership that drove up from south of Indianapolis, John I think. I didn't ask how many miles but he said it took him about 5 hrs.
Thanks bjt, I just uploaded everything that was on the camera. I have to go through and get rid of some of them.
Winners at the picnic were:
Highest mileage - 8,7xx
Farthest distance...

Agreed with Rando....What a fantastic time. Now I know what I have missed in the previous get-togethers. The food was top notch, the Sea-Doo's were a blast. My wife and I made plenty of new friends....
My :bowdown:wife and I hope to meet many of you tomorrow at the BBQ. I don't know what we will be wearing except I know I won't be in a speedo like daddydarko.
1998 to late 2000 I was living in West Palm Beach, Fl. I didn't keep up with much going on up here that's actually the first I've heard about it.
The wife and I are going to head up within the...
Right now it appears the weather will be close to perfect for sunday but that can always change.
I received 2 phone calls last week from a marketing group out of Colorado promoting the event, I...
If it's already raining I take my Jeep, I still have not picked out rain gear yet. When I do I might :dontknow: take the Spyder.
22 miles to work - 10 freeway the rest 45mph backroads with lots...
I installed the rear rack and also had problems. Besides the installation directions, 2 of the nuts attached to the slide in plate where angled so the bolts would not go in :cus:. I eventually got 1...
When I was considering doing the UP ride, someone at work had made the comment "YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE ACROSS THE MACKINAW BRIDGE ON YOUR SPYDER?'. I thought it was funny at the time....maybe not...
My co-pilot (wife) and I will be there. It killed me not to do the UP ride with you guys. I still haven't been past the bridge.

I ran into the Marketing Manager from Motor City Power Sports in Bloomfield Hills, Mi yesterday and he informed me about a BRP / MCPS (Motor City Power Sports) sponsored event.

When I checked my oil level I had just riden home from work on it. I checked it...added 1/2 a qt, let it sit for about an hr, went back out and ran it for 30 sec or so...checked it again and had to...
Thanks sabunim5 I will check the airbox. I know now I need to check the oil level more often. My dealership is backed up a week for Spyder work (so they say) so I'll be changing the oil myself.
At 3200 miles I've been noticing my mpg decreasing so I pulled the Spyder 1/2 into the garage. Checked tire pressure..okay, pulled the side cover off and pulled the oil dipstick out...NOTHING. ...
