• 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.

miles on spyder

Thought it might be cool to post your mileage as of today and then we can check this post at the end of the year and see if it was a good riding year or not. :doorag:

43,672 miles on a 2008 RS

I have about 3,000 on the two RT's that I've had but that don't count till I get one that I'm going to keep so my RT mileage is 00000

Bought my spyder on 02,23,2010. It is a 2009 sm5.
Didn't ride much in the spring as I went to the hospital for a second knee replacement on the same knee. Then after I could get around, I started riding. Put on 4378 miles as of Nov when I put it to sleep. Hopefuly this year will be better than last year health wise. Happy new year to everyone.
 
41,120 miles as of this morning.

I had about 18,869 on last year.


The snow storms screwed me out a few miles.

2010 milage

I have had my new RT since June 12th 2010 and have 5,100 miles. Winter has set in so that's about it untill around April. However getting better with the Spyder RC. The dogs don't like it much yet.
 
no miles - only kilometers
20.000 kms on my 08 GS
10.500 on my RT (bluedream)
(would be 19.000 wonderful miles)
 
Every time someone asks "So how many miles you got on that thing?" I reply "A hundred. Done all in rain and snow."

And then I sit back and allow them to explain to me how much better it is if I would use up my Spyder quicker...
 
2010 RT-S delivered August 25, 2010 - 3,966 miles.
2010 RE-AC delivered December 14, 2010 - 1,616 miles.
 
Had to go out and look. 2010 RT-S SE. I rode it home from the shop on December 23, 2009. As of today it has 16,100 miles on it.

when you are as popular as you are Lamont you will get less I am sure because everyone is talking you up and with the events I am sure it drags down the miles.

Your miles are a standard to go by for sure, thanks again for the idea of this thread, I did forget exactly what I had last year.

I was just explaining the opposite of what you say to people I work with that either don't ride or have a harvey danielson in the garage that they are "keeping the miles low on for the resale on their 95 stock sporty"

I said that I must be poor or from being raised that way to have something that costs 20k just sit or only have a handful of miles on it.

I do understand that there are real life factors that relate to this like kids, wifes that don't ride, normal jobs and not wanting to ride in the rain, wind or on cloudy days but I can not say that you can use a spyder up running it.

I see people on here with 1500 miles that have WAYYYY more problems than I do and I run it arguably too much or too hard.

From my limited experience with all toys you drive IF you let them sit they will go to crap more than the daily driver. I know this sounds silly because moving items wear and you have a chance to crash as soon as you get it moving but that does not change what I have seen.

Maybe its because I didn't buy mine to pull the tarp off it and say "look at quick before it get dirty" I mean thanks to lamont I DID win a award at a spyder show with the death machine.

Everyone that rides I consider a friend on the road and more so if they are on this site but friends can disagree and I think thru talking about disagreements is how people really get to see someone else's perspective.
