• 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.

That would be awesome to have someone to ride down with!!! We are staying in Sedona. We will be leaving on Friday the 27th and taking 99 down and stopping over in Las Vegas for the night. Check in is at 3 or 4PM on the 28th and the ride is on the 29th.

If you are really interested in riding down with us, shoot me a PM and we can work out the details. It would be cool if we could meet up in person ahead of time as well. We live in Pittsburg which really isn't all that far... about 1 1/2 hours away.

Let me know. :2thumbs:
 
IT'S ALMOST TIME!!!

I am working on the final route and have done some tweaking.

We won't be able to make it after all, we'll be riding through Glacier Park in Montana that weekend. Sorry.

Mind you, if they don't catch that escapee from Arizona real soon, that plan may change also. :pray:

Have a great ride and stay safe.

Ah.... no problem. We'll be up near Glacier sometime next year on the Spyder. :doorag:

Hope all goes well. Have a great trip.

Will definitely try to make it. Probably ride up to Flag (from Tucson) Sat.
Maybe we can get Mad Matt from Kewlmetal to meet in Prescott? Maybe worth a pm in case he doesn't check the AZ link?

Hope you can make it.

And that's a good idea. :)
 
Sounds Great

Spyder Girl,

Sounds Great! We will plan on joining you, not sure exactly where we will hook up yet, TBD. We eat at Buffalo Wild Wings all the time. Our Wednesday evening bike night is (was) in the parking lot there. That's a great choice.

This is a great ride. I have done it many times since I live in Prescott, we go to Williams for breakfast, then Flagstaff, then Sedonna, Jerome, Prescott Valley and back to Prescott.

In fact Lamont has done this ride with me last time he was in town.

Looking forward to this one!

Matt

FANTASTIC!! I am so glad you can make it. I have done the ride on the Spyder through Oak Creek Canyon but didn't make it down to Jerome or Prescott the last time we were out there. We were staying in Flagstaff and rode through on our way back from Phoenix.

Looking forward to the ride. Glad I am getting the :2thumbs: on choosing Buffalo Wild Wings as the place for lunch. I've never been there before so should be awesome.

Are we going to have a problem getting a somewhat large group into the place to eat?? Maybe we can get a head count on who is coming. :dontknow:

See you all in a few weeks!!!! :ohyea:

Sorry we're going to miss you. Have a safe trip to CO.
 
I made a res. at the Motel 6 (near the start) for Sat night. 'bout the lowest rate, "newly remodeled", and area looks ok. If anyone is around Sat eve, give me a call if interested in dinner/pre-lube. I should roll into town late afternoon. (520)490-6946
Will probably take the "back route" up from Tucson through Globe, Payson, etc. in case anyone is riding up from southern AZ.
