Coming out of Winter

[jaherbst]

Well I see my "three wheeler " friends are starting to come out of the woodwork or should I say snow and ice. Posting is up a lot the last few days. Tell us what you have done to your "Spyder" today and the new rides you have planned for the summer.

Me, getting all my motorsports toys ready. Spyder to California in April, Spyder to Colorado in June, BMW to the National MOA in Salt Lake City UTAH in July. Can Am Maverick SS to the Dunes west of Yuma, AZ in August and Spyder's in the Red Rocks at St. George Utah on the Spyder in September.

Changing oil, filters and checking tires. How about you?

See you in St. George...enjoy all the other places this summer and be safe out there....

[Bob Denman]

It's still a bit early here for us...
But I've got farkles in my garage to add; and more of them on the way!

I am looking at another week or so till my 2 block country lane and driveway are done with ice and snow. See ya then.

I got the Spyder out a few days ago and rode it home. Cleaned it up, ordered Seal floorboards and got on the list for arm rests. Now waiting for a bit warmer temps, snow to stop, rain to stop. We are in that time where we can get rain snow mix or snow or rain. All of this stuff is in the forecasts this week. No real trips planned yet. I got the Spyder in late October and want to get in short shake down day trips to see if anything needs attention.

It is also early for me, this morning there was 3.5 inches of (White Fungus) on the ground.

Add that to what we got last week. Spring is a long way off! Deanna

They are forecasting rain/ 40's. WOHOOO!!

I was hoping to insure on apr 1st, but this morning was still -6c on the way to work. so will be waiting a while longer.... i got a about 10 - 12 farkles to put on once it warms up....... just a waiting game now.

I have been riding all year round, but I did change my oil a couple of days ago. Gotta put my 2 new front tires on, probably next month. Plenty of tread on the OEM's but I want to get a good set of car tires on Cocaine so I really destroy the twisties. Talking to a couple of my crotch rocket buddies to go riding and one actually said he was afraid to ride with me. Says I go too fast for him in the turns.

from the looks of the temps the 24th , will be 50`s for a low , and mid 60`s high , ride into work and a longer ride home ! { hey jack , did you purchase oil change kit , from a local dealer , or off the site ? I am getting close too oil change myself }

[Bob Denman]

We're looking at 40 degree temperatures, and rain at the very end of this week, and into the beginning of next week:

That'll clean the crap off of the roads, and re-start my riding season!
(had my bike out back at the end of February... BRIEFLY! )

[Trbayth]

Got a couple of farkles myself waiting to be installed. Was hoping to ride to the Spyderquest meeting this weekend but forecast is for rain so I'll probably be caging it.

This is how they make me feel.

[AeroPilot]

Oil change on the RT and a couple of nice rides last weekend. High winds today, snow tomorrow, maybe some 60s on Saturday we'll see.

Looking forward to weekend rides and Red Rocks in September

From local dealer. I get some what of a discount depending on items bought. If I were to order the oil change kit it would be from Baja Ron.

I have about 3 farkles to put on spyder. Deanna

[Bob Denman]

I've already added three... have one on the bench, and one on order...

[al0vely]

Farkles waiting to be installed - lights from TricLED, FOBO, decals from Wrap My Spyder, and BRP idler wheel kit.

Tomorrrow ... temps may get to 70 and I will ride for the 2nd time in 2017 if the rains hold off.

Also ... keep looking at Lamonster's pictures he is posting of all the fun in Houma, LA with ENVY.

I am JEALOUS, still a while for me , with all the snow on the ground and freezing temps. They say patience is a virtue, but it seems to be wearing thinner and thinner every freaking year.

Geez Jack.....You need a social director!

[cyclekid58]

Got the Orient Express serviced, oil change, fuel and air filters, checked tire pressures. Took out for rides a couple times, but we get one day of sun then another week to 10 days of rain. No farkels in the immediate plans as I spent the last 3 years doing that. No rallys planned this year due to medical issues and surgery some time this year, Next year it's either Spyders in the Redwoods ( due to be back in 2018 for alternate year with Red Rocks) or NorCal, will decide when info comes out. Will do riding this year but no big plans at this point.
