• 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.

    We are a comfortable (for us) 96 degrees here in the desert. Today's high will be 105. The overnight low will get down to 86 at 7AM tomorrow. There is a good breeze of 5-9 MPH with gusts to 14. A few high thin clouds but nothing to bring us any precipitation. Stay safe..... Jim

    Your Weather News @ August 2024

    The ongoing excessive heat warnings should end after today's 110 degree day here in the desert. Temperatures for the next 10 days shouldn't be much above 105. The overnight lows look to be in the low 80s. I know those temperatures are hot but there is a very big difference between 110/90 and...

    Currently it's 110 here in the desert. There is little to no breeze. I can see a couple big thunder clouds off in the far distance, but no rain expected to get into the valley. The overnight low will be 88 degrees. It's too hot to do anything outside. Even in the very early mornings the...

    Got home to the desert today to 113 degrees! The forecast is for a few sprinkles late tonight. I enjoyed my 26 day road trip out of this oven called Arizona. It's going to take me a few days to get re-acclimated to the heat. I haven't had the need to pay much attention to staying hydrated...

    In Panguitch, Utah tonight. High today is 83 and the overnight low will be a chilly 40. Bright sunshine all day. No rain in the immediate forecast. Panguitch is at an elevation of 6,600 feet. My old body tires easily in the heat and altitude. Stay safe..... Jim

    Currently in a little town of Manti, Utah. It's bright and sunny. The high today will be in the mid-80s. Not bad for an elevation of nearly 6,000 feet! The days of my road trip are quickly coming to an end. Today I'm taking a side trip through Capitol Reef, Escalante, and Bryce Canyon...

    Currently in Montpelier, Idaho which is located at the south-east corner of the state. Day number 23 of my road trip. It is a cool 55 degrees and heading for a low of 51 tonight. We are experiencing heavy rain, thunderstorms and, at times, wind. Saw a couple Spyders on the road today and...

    Gold Canyon Az to Lake Stevens, Wa

    So glad to hear your Spyder is fixed and back home. I'm on my 23rd day of a road trip and currently in eastern Utah. I stayed near you in Mt Vernon for 5 days visiting friends. Originally was going to go over the North Cascade Hwy but the road was closed due to fires. Heading over Stevens...

    So many complaints about the Spyders. Anyone with no problems?

    Personally, I think you're asking for information in the wrong place. A Cam Am forum will give you information about individual experiences. But not unbiased overall market data. I think you should look at reliability for motorcycles at places like Consumers Reports. That will give you...

    My road trip has taken me to Sequim, WA. located on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. Currently it's 58 degrees. We have a thick marine cloud cover that will burn off a little later. Humidity is currently 85%. Todays high will be 70 and mostly sunny by this afternoon. The wind is...

    DID Make My Mind up! - Big D's Mighty Red Baron has Arrived!

    Congratulations on your new Spyder purchase. Just be patient. Spyders handle differently to other bikes. Many (most) of us who've been 2-wheel riding for decades find the first few Spyder riding experiences less than satisfying. Lots of information on this forum about riding techniques that are...

    I'm still on a road trip and still in Mt Vernon, WA. (State). Currently it's 80 degrees and heading for a high of 83 today. Humidity is 60% which makes the air feel sticky to me. We don't often get sticky air in the Arizona desert. There is a thin marine cloud cover that is slowly burning...

    I'm on a road trip and currently at Mt Vernon, WA. Temperatures in the 60s and it's been raining or drizzling all day. It's supposed to get dryer by tomorrow. For me, this is a welcome relief from the desert heat that I left in Arizona. I am enjoying revisiting places where I spent my...

    Any idea of Long term costs? What sort of mileage will things need replacing?

    Of all vehicles I have owned over the last 60+ years, my Spyder had the very highest expense/value ratio...... By far! But it did bring a lot of pleasure when it wasn't in the shop. I sold it one week after the warranty expired. Draw your own conclusions.

    Random thought for the day

    I don't see anyone from my generation in the 2024 picture!

    Your Weather News @ July 2024 Edition

    On Monday I reported there were monsoons in the area but that no action made it into the valley. Turns out to not be quite true. News reports indicate there was pretty good rain and wind in the northern part of the valley. The reporters hunt high and low for a downed tree or power pole and...

    2020 Stinger Trailer fish-tails while empty - anyone else? Ideas?

    Just looking at the trailer... Most of the weight appears to be behind the axle. In addition, you have a very short tongue. Perfect recipe for fish tailing. I'd bet you don't have even 20 lbs. of tongue weight with the trailer empty. Good luck. Jim

    Currently it's 93 here in the desert. Humidity is 33 % and there is a very slight breeze. Today it will be a little cooler than we've had. It'll only get to 105. We are seeing some minimal monsoon action in the evenings. A few rainy and windy periods but nothing major or long lasting. Last...

    Burning Pain in Shoulder Blades - seating, handlebars, or helmet? Any ideas??

    If you haven't already done so, have your bike laser-aligned. Unconsciously fighting a poorly aligned bike can result in what you describe. Good luck.....

    How Wet have you ever been on your Spyder??

    At one time or another, I think we've all been there. Coming into Flagstaff from the north looking for our motel for the night. I was on my Spyder with my wife (at that time) following me on her Goldwing. We were going dead slow in a frog choker with a couple inches of water running down the...
