• 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.

BR1 IS IN TROUBLE

I am SO glad for you that BR1 is road ready. :clap::clap::clap: Let's hope he's road worthy.
 
Glad you are back up and running.

My Spyder was recently down for 4+ weeks for similar parts availability issues.:banghead: I is now fixed and as good as ever.:yes:

The one thing I try to remember is the Spyder is still a relatively new vehicle so there are bound to be some growing pains. According to my dealer even the Goldwings had their share of issues when they were brand new and it took a while to work them out.

I for one am not going to worry about where I go on my Spyder, I am just going ryde and enjoy every minute!

I hope the remainder of your Spyder ownership is trouble free.
 
BR1 is in the barn, next to Punkin'. I pushed him a little hard on the 50 miles home and all is well it seems. Punkin' said "where have you been for six weeks, sicko". BR1 said I needed a new ECM and a throttle body. Punkin' said "I don't have any of those...but I did miss you". At least you speak English, that ATV over there only speaks Japanese.

More later in "As the Spyder Turns".

BR1

glad red made it home called Kelly again today still no parts for mine of course she wont call and let me know **** ahead of time

dam how long does it take to get a couple bearings seals o rings and a hub
 
I really hope BR1 holds together. I enjoyed the ride home this morning, but it really started to get hot early. I am going out in a little while, plug BR1 into the charger as I doubt he has had a charge since I took him in to the hospital. I will post how it goes...a long ride coming up this Saturday....to Harper, TX and the Longhorn Cafe. If he breaks down in that part of the country, I will be in deep Kimshe. A tow vehicle in those parts is a '56 Chevie pickup with a #10 case hardened chain...more later....I will tell BR1 I forgive him and plug him in....bye for now.

:spyder2:
 
Good luck George. Your neighbor must have been happy when your ride was down, 1 less at the tank at nite?

Funny you ask. Just last week he said he seemed to be getting better mileage as he was not using as much gas recently....I told him it was probably the warm weather...."You get better mileage when it is hot." He said he did not know that.....shussssss

:spyder2:
 
How's it going George? Are you still at the Longhorn Cafe? :dontknow:

Oh, no. My group, the Hill Country Road Riders don't go to Harper, TX and the Longhorn until Saturday. We put out an email to all members each month with a ride schedule, where we are going and where to meet and departure time. We are mostly old guys, long time riders, and some of us have been riding together for 20 years. We ask for a $5 annual donation and have a $5 surprise gift at breakfast once or twice a year...we generally have 12-18 riders each week....we ride 12 months a year....we get along very well...have a ball.

Rode BR1 to the Longhorn Cafe in Harper. Rode him about 200 miles and kept the RPMs up to give him a workout. He passed with flying colors. I am glad that he ran well today and will see how it goes, but BR1 knows he is on a short string and if he can't hack it, he is gone. We will see.

:spyder2:
 
Has Punkin stopped with the snide remarks yet? :shocked:

Bob, I cautioned Punkin' about poking fun at his barn mate. Punkin' is 11 years old this November and getting a little long in the tooth. I mentioned his health could fail at any moment and he should be ashamed of himself. He said, "Okay", but he has been known to lie about his gas mileage and oil change schedule, so I will keep a close eye on him too.

:spyder2:
 
NO doubt; BR1 knows that he's in a heap of trouble... :shocked:
At least he's trying to be on his bestest behavior! :thumbup:
Punkin'; :gaah: Tell him that nobody likes sore winners either! :roflblack:
 
Glad it's all finally behind you George. :thumbup:

Yesterdays gone.... time to look toward tomorrow. Gas & Go......as long as your neighbor doesn't run out of gas and his bull snoozes often . ;)
