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.
Check-in on your ryde home from SpyderFest '15

Finally got in this afternoon after leaving on Monday. We started out taking the back roads home to Phoenix, with the thought that we would extend our vacation a few more days and see the sights. Unfortunately, the weather got in the way, so we stayed on I40 to Flagstaff then south on I17 to home. We didn't see any Spyders, but there were a lot of bikes braving the rain and heavy winds............. sure glad we could watch it all from the comfort of our toy hauler :2thumbs:

Finally Home
We finally arrived at home yesterday about 1:15 pm. Round trip was right around 5,000 miles/8,000km. No record for sure but a good test for the RTS. No mechanical issues.
Our Spyder is so dirty I'm not sure how well it will clean up but we got it to ride. Road through some construction in NM that was nothing but mud because of the rain.
We dodged some really bad weather coming through the south via, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. Our timing was impeccable. We did have solid rain for about 260 miles traveling north from Gallup NM. We had pretty strong wind most of every day and most was a head wind. Yesterday the wind coming through Dry Falls area north of Soap Lake Washington was really crazy. We have ridden through that area numerous times and have never seen it like that. Really happy it was a head wind and not a cross wind. Weather at home is spectacular and we realize how spoiled and lucky we are here in south central British Columbia. Murphybrown shares the same weather as us.
We passed a total of 2 Spyders coming home. One saw us but didn't wave and one waved like we were his long lost only friend. Every where we stopped we seemed to have people interested in our Spyder. Never one bad or negative comment. All curious and positive. People are taking notice of them and it wasn't all "old people" like us. It was humorous to us but several people from the south such as NM had no idea where we were from. One lady even said "how would you even get there from here".
We really enjoyed Spyderfest and are very happy we made the trip and met some great people. The organizers, MO Gang, Pitbull, Lamont and anyone else involved deserve a huge congratulations for putting on such a well organized event.
See you on the road.

Finally, home!
I very well may take the prize for being the last one to get home from SF 2015!
hyea: Drove into the garage a bit after 7 PM, MDT. I took my time coming home traveling a good bit of old Route 66, visiting museums and National Parks, and fighting wind, cold, and rain! Passed up on staying on Rt 66 from Chandler, OK to Oklahoma City and dropped due south to Shawnee where I spent the night while the storms and tornadoes beat up on OKC and moved NE along Rt 66!
I'll try to write more and post pics and videos in the next couple of days.
