• 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.

Getting really excited about our next big adventure. When Joan and I got married at Bikeweek in Daytona it wasn't really a ride for us even though we did some riding we spent more time in the truck.

In a few weeks we will be taking off June 1st and heading from Springfield MO to Valcourt Quebec to meet with the Road Warrior guys that are doing a ride to the Florida Keys with some disabled vets. Joan and I both love our vets and are really excited about this ride. Here's where we will be and when and we would love for you to jump in the group along the way and show your support for the vets and BRP as they are loaning them all Spyders for the ride. Looks like we might have a group for riders from Quebec joining us too. That's going to be cool. :doorag:

    Joan and I will be splitting off from the group from there and I plan on showing Joan around my old stomping grounds. I'm going to take her by Wheels Through Time so she can meet my friends Dale and Matt Walksler. From there we will ride the Hellbender to the Dragon and then ride the Rattler to Johnson City where we will stay the night. In the morning I think we will ride the Snake and then head back toward Springfield. Joan will be on the 2014 RT-S with trailer and it will have a new look as of today. I'm pulling off all the Route 66 wrap and doing something really cool, or at least I think it's cool. I hated the last wrap I had on it. Joan will be able to pack our gear and we will swap bikes as I'll be on the F3 and she love riding it.

    If you want to join us that would be cool. We can't stop and visit because we are on a time constraint but you have the routes so looks us up.

    If you want to join the vets on the last leg here, the link to that. http://www.roadwarrior.org/events

    It's going to be a great riding season :doorag::doorag:

THIS RIDE

:yes::yes::yes: :clap: :clap: :clap:......Dee & I will be looking forward to joining up with you in N.H......The Vets cannot have enough support and THANKS for all they have given..............Have you picked the road you will be on from Gorham to Concord NH...........Mike :2excited:
 
We're looking at the section around Bear Mtn, to Harrisburg... :yes::ohyea::yes:
(I might be the guy with the keyboard nearby... :roflblack:)
 
I am looking at meeting in Bennington VT, since we will be at Americade, but the map does not show this like the text say's.
 
The timing works great for me to meet you at Bear Mountain and ride most if not all the way to Harrisburg.
 
Great ryde..!!

My daughter is in Harrisburg to bad I'm not. Ya'll have a safe trip and enjoy the vets and your travels...:2thumbs:
 
YOUR ROUTE

:2excited:.....I ride in NH mostly....and if you intend to hook up to the " KANK "....I know of 9 miles of riders HEAVEN that will connect from Rt.302 to the Kank......It is a road that is Soooooooo twisty it's closed in the winter ( THEY WON'T PLOW IT ).......it's mostly posted for 35 mph....but on the Spyder I've had a ball at 60 mph.......It's called " BEAR NOTCH RD.".......since it's on your way I wouldn't miss it.........If you try and find it on Google maps you will have to get down to very high res to find it ......just west of Bartlett NH ( 302 ) to Passsaconaway NH ( on the Kankamangus Hwy ).....................PM me if you need more details .......Mike ....................PS, this may rival the " DRAGON ".....No BS :thumbup:..................PPS,.....You do not want to go through CONWAY NH ....It might take you an Hour.....The tourist traffic there is EPIC ......taking the Bear Notch Rd. avoids Conway without deleting 90 % of the " Kank "

I must not be hitting the right button; are you coming up Rte. 17 from Bear Mtn to Monticello, and then taking Rte. 42 South toward Sparrowbush & Port Jervis?
That is just about in my back yard... :yes:
 
hi

Would love to join u guys from west palm beach to the keys. What hwy number would be taken from kissimee to the keys so my wife and i can join up. Let me know. Thanks
 
2nd day route?

Would like to see if I can make it for June 6 for at least half of the day. Problem is that map doesn't match description for that day. Bennington, VT is not on route shown.

Thanks!
Once I remembered to blow it up; more detail came into view! :thumbup:
I'll meet you guys in Monticello; I assume that you're getting off at exit 104... (it avoids most of the Town)
42 is a real nice road... I'll figure on riding with you to Scranton. :D

(Have you considered a short detour to the Hawk's nest, on Rte. 97?)

This is a Wintertime video, but I'll tell you that the Delaware river is JUST on the other side of the guardrail on the right hand side...
