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.

I am reading this while trying to decide on selling my car and buying a Spyder as my main form of transportation ( wife has a car).
Since Sat afternoon we have had 8+ inches of rain and it is still going. I don't mind the rain did a lot of riding in the rain when I owned a HD Road Glide but I was 14 yrs younger.

Never skipped a beat
Drove from Hill City (near Custer SD) to Cody, WY. with an hour stop/detour to Devils Tower. The '14 RTS never skipped a beat and got about 40 mpg running 70 to 75 mph for hours on end. My wife was/is quite comfy and is a great passenger. But it's a long pull for a couple of 70 year old's.
The firearms museum here is not to be missed.

We're returning from the Spyder Homecoming and are spending tonight in Rapid City after riding through the Badlands, Sturgis, Deadwood and the Nemo Road. This area is spectacular, especially since we did the boring ride through Fargo and Sioux Falls.
Tomorrow, it's Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse and on to Golden, CO.

Cody to Rock Springs
The winds ( both side and head on) were bad- --- but the :spyder2: handeled them just fine . Got 34.3 mpg at 70 mph. Stunning vista's and canyons. The 2014 RTS never skipped a beat and of course generated many ?'
Off to Elko NV. Tomorrow.
The Buffalo Bill Center of the West is 5 museums in one and is not to be missed if you're with in 500 miles of it. Cody is a nice little town. Eat where the locals eat------- Grannies restaurant is good down home cookin'.

Lived There and loved it
I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB for 5 1/2 years. (1967-1972) Loved the area even in the winter (younger then). I was able to go back in the late 1980s. But would love to see it today. You need to go to Wall Drugs. It is famous. I love to tell the story when my dad came to visit. We had a friend that owned a place in the hills called Trout Haven (it is still there). There were two large stocked trout ponds on the property and Tom would set my son at the pond to catch a few fish for the restaurant . Well my dad caught 5 inch trout , while my son caught one that was about 18 inches. We took a picture of my dad and my son with their fish. Tom loved it so much that he used it in his ads for years.
RIDE SAFE AND LONG.

Yah, it is really nice there (South Dakota / badlands / custer / rushmore). We visited on an RV trip back east years ago and looking forward to doing it again, this time on our bikes. Sorry we had to miss the trike event this year...hopefully they will have it again.
Thanks for the reminder. Yeah, that's a must-see.
'THE wife' .... jeez, Louise!
Better than 'A wife' I reckon...
Anyway, yeah, that's beautiful country and great motorcycling roads.

The fuel efficiency of the 1330 is really quite amazing. We pulled a trailer through mountain roads on our last trip and got over 40mpg (but not at 70mph!) I'm happy with this bike!

We are headed back to Deadwood for the 3-wheel rally in July. Lots of Spyders attending.
Our NISR (Nebraska Iowa Spyder Ryders) has a group going this year. There is so much fantastic riding in that part of the world. Needles Highway, Iron Mountalin Road, Spearfish Canyon, Sturgis, etc., etc., The list goes on.
This is our 4th year in a row and will keep going back with the Good Lord willing??
