• 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.

    After being on the bikes for most of four days we decided it was time to stay off them for a spell. For our last full day we joined Doug and Lisa on an ATV adventure. There were two ATV rental companies in Hill City. Doug made the arrangements for a four seater model. The company had maps of...

    We woke to great weather once again. Mid-September in South Dakota can be iffy on the weather but we were fortunate to be blessed with mid-60 degree days. Riding jackets in the morning and light jackets in the afternoon. Today we were going to spend several hours riding and enjoying the...

    We rode Needles Highway to our next stop, Mount Rushmore. We planned the day’s itinerary to catch Mount Rushmore in the evening so we could see the night show. It was late afternoon when we arrived, so the shadows were starting to get longer but there was still time to sight-see. There is a...

    Before we left Custer State Park we stopped at Sylvan Lake for lunch. This is a beautiful lake that has been featured in several movies. We had brought sandwiches, chips and cookies with us and we devoured all that we brought. We had a short hike around the lake which was good for our legs...

    We finally found the Bison on the south side of the park. Rangers had moved them into a large herd in preparation for the culling of the herd. The Park can support about a thousand Bison. Each fall around 400 are culled and sold. This was going to occur about two weeks after we left.

    We arrived at Custer State Park and toured the Visitor’s Center to learn about the park and Buffalo (Bison) management. We eagerly jumped on the bike hoping to see wildlife but the wildest thing we saw for a while were Prairie Dogs. Eventually, we came across the wild donkeys that also inhabit...

    We had arranged a big travel day the first day in SD. We began with a great ride on the Iron Mountain Road as we made our way to Custer State Park. This road is a twisty, turning road that motorcyclists’ rate as one of the best in the country. On a Spyder I must push and pull instead of...

    The sun had set by the time we arrived at Hill City, SD. Our home base for the next four days. We had a little trouble finding the place and had to back track a bit but discovered it was in a perfect location. Right next to a winery/brewery. We were able to walk next door to sample their...

    No, my wife was not the wildlife. My picture of the mountain goats on the roadside was too large and I am needing to resize it. We had to make at stop at Wall Drugs. It's a bit kitschy but required nonetheless. I also took a shot at taming a jackelope. sorry, portrait again.

    We ran across some wildlife, which was not acting too wild.

    Since I was riding a 2013 RTL, I had to map out gas stations along the route to be sure I didn’t run out of gas! It was windy. Even a few farm aromas graced us. We stopped at the Badlands National Park. The weather was perfect as you can tell we were no longer wearing our jackets. The...

    Looks like the forum still only likes landscape pictures. I will be testing how limber your neck muscles are. The second day we included sight-seeing stops on our way across South Dakota. First stop was the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. Inside was a gymnasium and concert venue. The...

    We successfully dodged the rain and stopped in Omaha, Nebraska for lunch. The rest of the day was supposed to be sunny so we shed our rain gear and had lunch at Panera’s. Later that afternoon Carol and I noticed how Doug and Lisa were going faster and faster and soon pulled out of sight. We...

    This is a trip I made back in September of 2018. Pre-Covid seems so long ago. After completing a trip with Doug to the Outer Banks of North Carolina it was time to tweak the thought process a bit for the next trip. This time we would invite the wives to go along with us. Lisa had traveled...

    highway pegs for a RT ??

    I had a 2013 RT-S which has the floorboards but my highway pegs helped immensely. Being able to change my legs and pressure points on my rear kept me in the saddle. I now have a 2020 RT Limited with more expansive floorboards so I don't know if I need the highway pegs on the newer model or not.

    My New Spyder Trunk

    Looks good! I have a RT622 trailer but I may consider adding something like this when I have a "tweener" trip. Too much stuff for my current storage but not enough for my trailer.

    Looking for large Cargo trailer

    Harbor Freight has a Haul-Master trailer that is 96 inches long and weighs only 250 lbs in it's basic form. Room for modifications. The weight will fall within the Spyder's limit but I don't know how it would do towing such a LONG trailer.
