    Default I'm a Spyderchondriac

    Every time I read a post about a problem I start to worry that I have the same problem with mine. I get especially worried just before a big trip and for that reason I will not read any posts that may exacerbate this condition before I leave for Maggie Valley on Tuesday.

    And with that happy thought I have 1,000 posts on this forum. Does that make me a forum-a-holic?

    Yup about the forumaholic. You are going to find more negative posts than positive posts--because the forum is a place to vent and get help with issues.

    The ones you don't hear from are the ones that are likely going on big trips and having to much fun to mess with SL.com.

    I try and use the "issues" posts to make me aware of things that others have experienced, so that if it happens to me I can hopefully recall the "fix". Other than that, we just ride. Can't worry too much about something that hasn't happened.

    I initially think/react like Spyderanne and then slowly come around to your thought process Dudley!

    You and your cross country trip are in the back of my mind as I prepare for my cross country trip next fall.

    Another "forumaholic" here... I too try to soak up and retain as much information as possible for that one time that I might actually be in a position to help either myself or somebody else out of a tight spot...
    (Although I'm thinking that either the belt is moving left or my left front tire is a half-pound low... )

    If you are pulling to one side, it isn't the belt's fault. Low tire, steering sensors out of synch, or bad rear wheel bearings are common causes.

    Funny thing is I have been sorting out issues with my Spyder this past weekend, and still have 1 to correct before heading out of here on Thursday morning. I haven't had the time to post what has happened, and may not ever post it.
