• 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.

Deadwood 3 Wheel Rally Video

It was a great week! We got a ton of pics too, and some video.....just not smart enough to put it all together...LOL:bowdown::bowdown: Gotta love that Iron Mtn Rd., and Spearfish Canyon, and VanOcker Canyon, and Needles Hwy.....and......etc....etc...awesome part of our country for sure. Thanks for the video:clap:
 
Rick, did you create tracks of those rides??? We missed it this year due to family events here in MN, but I might be headed out later with another Spyder Ryder....
 
Thank you, thank you....

That is the most we have seen of the Deadwood event and I for one am really happy you went cause otherwise we would see little if any...:bowdown: those are some great videos. For those with no time I have to say you do see alot in a short period of time....:clap:

Thanks! I went up there with the intention of doing a few videos. Brought a lot of my gear, and just did it. The hardest part about doing it is, well, forcing yourself to do it! Then, complete it. I've done hundreds of training videos in my field, so I have it ready to go.

I did, but my GPS crapped out on me while we were out there, (had to buy a new one) and unfortunately I didn't save them to my TYRE page....dumb move by me!!! Anyhoo, if you go out there, just grab one of the many maps of the area highlights. Pretty much every establishment has a packet of the maps at the front doors for folks to grab. The map lists all of the most common attractions as well. The best roads and routes are highlighted very well for people to travel. They do a great job in highlighting the nicest roads to travel. It's an awesome area for day trips!!! South Dakota has got a great program going for their tourism industry. Hats off to them for that. Not a bad road traveled either. :bowdown::bowdown:

I see on several segments of the video that the camera is staying steady with respect to the road so you see the Spyder wheel bouncing up and down. Is that because you use some sort of stabilizing camera mount, or is it built-in image stabilization of the camera? The Spyder itself doesn't stay that stable, or does it?
 
Deadwood in 3 minutes

Great job on the video's. Thanks so much for sharing with us. I was out there, but looks like we seen different things.
 
Deadwood Great Location

On Monday night we got back from our Deadwood Rally trip. This was the best 4 days I've ever spent on a bike. We put about 1000 miles on my RT seeing Deadwood, Sturgis, Badlands, Custer State Park, Needles highway, Rushmore, Spearfish, Spearfish Canyon, Devil's Tower, Rapid City, etc. I enjoyed the vendor presence, particularly the Squared Away folks as they kindly checked my alignment. Fortunately my alignment was fine! Anne and Joe were great to meet personally after "hearing" them here on SpyderLovers. We didn't spend much time at the rally, but it seemed well run.

Even more 'impossible' angles here! But... look up camera "gimbal." No GoPro. Those are TOO wide angle without modification.

Agreed! I rode a lot, but I spent a lot of time with the rally activities. The booth sponsors really need support. I bought a new louder horn from them and a new sexy exhaust from SpyderAttitude1.
 
Good video except the very last.

Tehrlich, I enjoyed this video right up until the very last. Then you had to get my ugly mug in it. LOL. I am the one that you said that I sure could take the curves and twistes good. Thanks for the pics and vids.


I have a couple of complete videos from The Deadwood Rally.

Benny Hill would be proud!
