• 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.

Kind of miss all the posting. Numbers have dropped off dramatically. I would assume all the Spyders

except for the Lower Lower 48 are "snug as a bug in a rug". How many are fortunate enough to be able to

ride year around? How many trailer there Spyders to the Lower Lower 48 to ride?

I guess the others will just have to settle for Ice Fishing and Snowmobiling.

Not much to read here at six o'clock in the morning with my first cup of coffee. Just can't depend on those

disputes and overly strong opinions anymore to :yikes::yikes: wake me up.

Keep posting and stay in touch with your Arachnid Buddies!

It has become a fast read in the AM but should pick up after those hibernating come to grip with the fact. Or have we solved all the GTO issues.... :roflblack: :roflblack: Go figure and we give them 3 hours to warm up..... :roflblack:

:agree: We miss hearing from all of our friends! Tell us what's going on in your lives (even if it's not Spyder-related), and we'll have more to talk about! :thumbup:

What plans do you have for this Thursday?
We're having Thanksgiving Dinner at home, and Sonny-Boy and his Ladyfriend have been given the task of baking an apple pie! :D
 
I'm still here and riding. I will ride all winter as long as the roads are clear of ice, snow, and salt. That's what they make heated gear for :clap:and heated seats and grips! :yes::yes::thumbup:
 
Rode this past weekend, trailering mine to Fla on Fri for a week of fun in the sun.:yes:
 
I can ride all year, but typically choose not to when temps are over 105. Additionally, my current job often prevents riding as much as I would like due to the unpredictable schedule and frequent requirements to work through weekends. :shemademe_smilie:

My Cuz, Chuck in Zanesville Ohio just turned over 100K on his 2014 RT! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: Amazing!
He is still riding... we are too (we're a little further South; in Texas) went out for a ride yesterday, a little chilly at 66 degrees though, LOL. :clap:
Y'all come on down and RYDE!

Still riding , we can ride most of the winter providing we keep our rain gear handy. Had a great ride this weekend to the Coast and had my chowder and clam strip fix.
We have made the Polar Bear Run, New Years Day the last two years, started out in the 30's but it was dry.

Well I keep mine licensed and insured all year,however I do not like to ride in the rain, so October and November have been very wet, so only out on my Spyder 2 or 3 times. Hopefully December will dry up a bit so I can get back out for a few local rides at least.:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
And in case you're wondering......yes, I will disolve/melt in the rain.:roflblack:
 
Funny, I was thinking about exactly this earlier this morning. I seems to me as well that there has been a big decline in postings recently. Maybe folks just don't have much to say these days, or have run out of things to bitch about. But cheer up!! Very soon the dreaded "white snot" will arrive here in the Northeast and me can bemoan how long it will be before our Spyders come out of hibernation.

What's the best bang for the buck in heated riding gear?

Ron is a site sponsor. I bought my Gerbings back in 2010 when they used to have a 2d's store....but many have raved about the ones that Ron sells, plus he is one of Spyderlover sponsors and gives great service and deals on most things for our Spyders...:firstplace:

It would be nice to have a more even climate up here. Too hot in the summer & far too cold in the winter.

Winter riding is a mute point as, by law in Quebec, we have to have snow tires on our 2 & 3 wheeled motorcycles from Dec 15 through to March 15 if we want to use them on public roads.

I would guess that many have a bunch of other hobbies that get in the way of fun! Here on the NW Coast I ride all year long except when it's pouring cats & dogs. Then add in ATVing on the dunes, Fishing, hunting (got a nice bull elk), Ham Radio, making a cider press, painting window trim when it's dry, and most of all so far I haven't had one problem with my 2015 ST in 4000 miles since August. The forum is a great resource and even with the occasional "ranter" it is all good sources of information for me. I thank you all!!! And wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving !!:yes::yes::yes:

I just returned from Death Valley . perfect weather! Two spyders. My 2015 RTS has 22000 miles . zero problems. Komho fronts. Vee rubber on rear will not last as long, half worn out at 10,000 miles. New brake pads at 19,000. F4 tall wide windshield,. Replaced my last gold wing at 256,000 mi. I am only 89. Just ordered a f3 ldler pulley to put on with Joe s bracket. I do my own maintenance. I read spyder lovers every day. My wife rides with me a lot.she,s only 85. Went to the Long Beach motorcycle show yesterday. I love the new f3 limited.

If you have ever seen squirrels gathering nuts, you can imagine what it is like for a Minnesotan getting all of the outside chores done and equipment properly serviced and stored! Glad we had a bit of an extended fall, so we did get a couple of freebie rides in. For now, the bike is stored and I am becoming more like a hibernating bear.

Time for a bit of interior cleaning and painting.
 
Have also noticed a decrease in posting by some. I check a couple times daily and find myself mostly reading these days.

We go through stages where newbies get jumped on and sometimes are made to feel unwelcome. Then there are stages of infighting which I am guessing scare some off.

It always seems to turn around after a slow spell. :popcorn::popcorn:
