Anyone still ryding?
I am a little bored, winter blues I think. Anyone still Ryding in Indiana? Does it do well in winter weather, or snow? I found it is too cold for me but I see bikes out. I just keep looking at my and buying parts to put on. At this rate, it will be all fixed up like next week...and then I don't know what will keep me busy. How many days until spring??? I think I'm going to start a countdown.

If (when) the temp gets above 40, I'll be out for a while, but first I've got to put it back together. I've got the tupperware off, cleaning and tightening and generally detailing everything. Installing some mods, too, got an Ear Cannon, really don't want to try it inside.

I think it might get in the 40s
I think it might get in the 40s here late this week, we will see! Sounds like you are doing same thing then, getting mods. What is an ear cannon and the benefits of it? Just thinking maybe it's something else I can get to keep busy.

So we have a count down...
107ish days it is! I want to ride BAD, my brother rode his bike the other day and said it wasn't bad he said "I just couldn't feel my fingers and my helmet iced up." I guess he loves it more than me...that or I got the brains in the family??
So how loud is this horn? What other mods are people doing? I got all kinds of new parts (foglights, the center tail light and the mudflap lights...and some other stuff), some waiting to be put on...got the grip puppies and the cramp buster thanks to you guys for telling me which ones to get! DANG...Corbin doesn't take Paypal....
I saw the RT at my dealer, it was the Black one. I opened up the saddle bags and couldn't get them to shut again...so I sneaked away...

Check at aerostich.com, it's around 130 Db, I guess it's illegal in some states, but it's spill their coffee, soil their undies loud, so it ought to get some attention from sleeping drivers. It's called "Ear Cannon" for a reason.
Not doing too much this year, cleaning up some wiring, adding some 12V plugs, maybe a trunk & backrest, or a hitch.

I'll bring...
Next time we meet up I'll bring earplugs then . If I remember right at the decibel level it does immediate damage to your hearing, could be wrong on that though! I will check it out though...can never have to many safety features on a bike.

Was 50ish here!
It was over 50 here, but I worked. There is still salt on the roads, how bad is that on the spyder? I know it's really hard on cars, and the spyder seems more difficult to clean. Just wondering because I'm thinking of at least going around the block or something while it's in the 40s or 50s.

Aluminum and salt are arch enemies, especially when mixed with moisture. Need I say more? You can't clean well enough or fast enough. I know there are some folks here that ride in the salt. Depends on whether you want to keep your Spyder for four years or forty, I guess. I always wait for dry roads, after a rain that washed the salt away, if I can.

That's what I figured
I figured salt would be BAD. I think it is going to rain tonight and perhaps some tomorrow...maybe that will get rid of the salt and dry up so that I can ride soon.

My SE5 sits quietly in the garage...full tank with preventative, battery charger clicking away as needed. Flat refuse to ride, with salt on the road. And, riding will be stunted for a few months. Next Friday, Kathy and I pick up our two new puppies. That will keep us occupied, for some weeks to come, thus slow any planned riding.

WLFI-TV forecasts some days next week with highs around 50. I'll believe it when I see it. If some days of rain beforehand clear salt off the streets, then I may give it a shot, just to clear out some "cabin fever".

I know I'm ready for a ride. Tired of work then home, work then home. A ride would definately cure my grouchies for a little while.
