• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What did you do today?

Past couple of days....

Sunday the hubby and I rode out to Pearls BBQ in Micanopy. Best BBQ for miles.

Yesterday, after work, we rode down to a restaurant in Ocklawaha on lake Weir called Eatons Beach. Casual semi open air restaurant with decent food and a great view of the sunset.

It was getting dark when we left so I got to try out my colorful remote lights. What a great time. I'm so enjoying my Spyder.

Went for a state inspection today. 2nd year of owning the Spyder.

7600 miles...failed inspection. :mad:

Needed front brake pads. :banghead:


Only good good news was it only took me 15-20 minutes to replace them and the dealer had them in stock.
 
Trip to Fire Lookout in California

Rode a short 50 miles up to our highest peak in Marin County (Mount Tam) and visited the fire lookout. It doesn't look like much, but the view of the San Francisco Bay Area from here on a day like this is spectacular. This is from 2600' up. And yes, I could see some of our fires up in Northern California.

I played hooky from work today, cleaned carpets, exercised and now I'm waiting on my husband's motorcycle (Guzzi Stelvio) to arrive that he bought last week. This evening, I hope we'll be taking it out for a ride and then tonight...self-defense class. Busy day...I need to go to work to relax! :roflblack: Yeah...right.
 
Took the beast for a ride, she's been a bit neglected since I got the spyder, so differant jumping from one to the other.

Old Abe and frost bite

From a few weeks ago, but took a ride that included the highest point on Interstate 80 at 8,640 feet!

Boy do I remember that stop off. I was driving out to visit a friend in California and it was 11 p.m in September. I thought I would stop and take a quick nap ( too cheap to rent a motel room for 3 hours of sleep). When I woke up it had snowed 3 / 4 inches and it was about 20*. I didn't have a jacket as it was September and I was going to California for 2 weeks. Old Abe had ice on his beard and I was very close to freezing to death. Now I bring along warm cloths and a wool hat / gloves.
 
First mountain ride on the Spyder

Yesterday I finally got a chance to take the :spyder2: on a real ride. Previously all I was able to do was ride it to work and back. Decided to ride Ortega Highway, a ride in Southern California that is very popular with motorcyclists. All the mountain curves let me start getting used to riding the curves. Looking forward to more rides.
 
Sunday ride

Rode around the hills s-e of Melbourne, Vic, with a whole lot of trikes. Stood around the pub for a while. Great fun.
