• 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.

201X mileage as of today

A personal record!

Only 1670 miles... and I am ready for winter to be OVER!

I rode to 5615 miles in 2010... minus 1670 = 3945 miles! In my 16 years of riding, that is a personal record! Usually capped out around 2400 to 3000 miles per year.

I love my Spyder!!!
 
Although I've already responded to this thread, as of yesterday, Friday, I had my 12,000 mile service. Other than the normal oil change, all that was done was (2) spark plugs and a little extra coolant. All else was good.

Bottom line is that I've had (knock on wood) 12,000 miles of trouble free enjoyment.

Aint it great??
 
Hey, Bro, no big deal. :doorag:

I haven't been on here in a while, so you might not remember that I don't post anything serious. Ever. :joke:

Also, anybody who has ridden with me knows I seem to not be able to ride the Spyder unless its a torrential downpour, or 20 degrees outside, or a 40mph crosswind, or snowing. Or that one time I picked up a pizza to go when it was minus 25 and I put the box in the front trunk vertically and drove it home.

I guess I just don't measure my fun (well, yeah--and pain) on it in terms of miles on the odometer.

If I had to, I suppose I might ask myself how many great places I've been on it, or how many awesome people have I met while riding it or because I own one. Or how many people have invited me into their homes (or I have had in my home) and workplaces because of it. Or how many #$^%&-ing banners (and Sharpies) I drove between two countries and signed.

Not to mention how many hours entertainment I have gotten reading posts here since August of 2007.

Well, there's a nice storm churning outside now. The 22 inches that fell last week has sintered a bit, but now we're getting some nice cosmetic snow:

...so I have to sign off, warm up the Spyder and take a ride tonight.

Yeah. I live in the purple area:roflblack:

Advice from an old man: Enjoy your ride. Don't count the miles.


AHAHAH, that is a good outlook for sure, we will have to have a advice session at spyderfest.

Ha!

Still snowing here...How 'bout by you, Scotty?

(And we are only into the third week of winter! :gaah: )


you winter starts mid december? does the snow fly then or does it just get colder then?
I know you guys got blasted with snow this year in the northeast.

Well, TECHNICALLY it starts in December, but the nasty came a while ago. Earliest ever with the snow was Halloween here, latest ever is usually Mothers' Day.

Still, I am not allowed to whine too much or those Michigan folks will start telling their "walked to school five miles uphill both ways in the snow in July" stories...:roflblack:

And then the Alaska spyderlovers will laugh at all of us lower-48-ers and call us all little pussycats.

That's only the Yoopers. We Trolls are more civilized. :joke:

Scotty may be civilized but I'm not. Lol. You are right to fear we Michigan folks John. Lol
