• 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.

Looking forward to meeting up with you for dinner on the 6th :). I know Murphy Brown and Don have put a lot of effort into getting this together and it appears this will be the biggest Spyder gathering in the North West. Thanks to all involved I getting this together.

Has the local media been notified? They may want to come by to get a few shots for the paper or even the local TV news. If we have as many bikes as it sounds like we will have this will be an impressive sight!

Don, can you send me the files again for the route on the GPS. I saved the one you sent me before but I can't seem to locate it now.... (old man syndrome) lol.

One of our Spyderlovers sponsors, (Life Style Honda out of Mt. Vernon WA) may be joining in as well FYI... Kevin will be riding a new 2014 if so.

Thanks again Karol and Don, and if I missed anyone, please include yours self,lol.

Be good, ....... or be bad...... just be there

A GIANT "Thank You" goes out to Karyl

Just returned from a fabulous weekend at the HOW! And my wife and I wanted to particularly thank Karyl (Murphy Brown) for all she did for us. The food, the people, and the band were all very tasty. And the hospitality was 'over the top'. It didn't go unnoticed how hard she worked to put together the premier Spyder/motorcycle gathering of this century. The Saturday ride was very well organized, and I never in all my travels have seen such spectacular head turning scenery. The Keller ferry ride was a particular highlight with much of the deck filled with a rainbow web of Spyders!
My only fear is that, when riders read this, they all travel to Central Washington next year and make this small gathering unmanageable.
Thank you again Karl!

Thank you so much for a wonderful event! The fellowship is the key ingredient in these gatherings! Just a first class event, and many thanks to Murphy Brown(Karyl.) Everyone's help and contributions were just fantastic! The food was great, the band was hopping, and Karyl's home is just spectacular! We were thrilled to be invited, and can't wait for next year!
