• 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.

Finally got to put some miles on today

Yeah.

June 26 to the USCGA.

I'm waiting on our friend to find out about the tour in Stratford, though--That would have to be between May 1 and June 15.

That's good news Kim! I hope you don't see any more serious issues with your spyder and just ride and enjoy it. I'm in the process of adding many upgrades to my spyder. I'll get some pics up once the mods are complete. I'm looking forward to meeting up again for a ride someplace. I still want to organize a ride this summer up here in northern VT.

Sorry, I'd love to, but I'm leaving for NC/TN next Saturday and don't expect to be back until the following Sat or Sun. And Sat May 1 I have to work.

I'm glad you got your Spyder out though. Hope it continues to work out for you.

Do you get out during the week at all ? Maybe meet you and your hubby for coffee ??
 
Smylinacha,

I was wondering, when they were checking out your steering problems, why did they concentrate on the DPS. Did they rule out all the obvious things first?
The way you described your problem, it could have been something in the steering that was mechanically hanging up. Not any kind of electrical failure.
Did they look at all that? I assume they did, but you never know for sure unless you ask.
 
All I know is the tech flew out and they ordered a new dps for it. When the new one came it wouldn't work so they ordered another one and that one worked. that's the part I don't get - the "whys". :dontknow:

Can't wait to see pics! Do you listen to music when you ride? Do you have speakers or anything like that on yours now? I'm looking for ideas but not thrilled w/ drilling holes for speakers and that cranker tank bag looks good. Just need it to be loud enough.

I am psyched for a Northern VT ride!

No sound system yet. I do however want to add an AM/FM radio and maybe GPS in my next phase of upgrades. I do have an auxiliary fuse panel to add any extras like that. I did add my new heated grips and a powerlet socket in place of the rocker switch that I had for my symtec heated grips (those failed on me) so I just replaced them with oxford heated grips. These are powered from the auxiliary fuse panel. If I do add some sort of sound system, I'm thinking of good qualitiy helmet speakers over pod mounted speakers on the spyder. That is unless someone comes up with something that looks like it belongs there at a good price. I have over $3700 in uprades to add on my spyder. I can't wait for it to be complete.

I plan on doing the Northern Vermont ride when the weather gets much warmer. I'll try to get a feel for what time frame is best for anyone who wants to come up and join in for this meet and greet. I do however want to make it simple and fun! I would like to make it a weekend event so we can all go for a nice ride at least for day in the Northeast Kingdom and have a nice lunch at the waterfront off lake Memphremagog in Newport. There is a nice bar and grill there. We can also do a lake Champlain loop through the Islands, South Hero, Grand Isle, North Hero and around to Alburgh and into Swanton and to St.Albans VT and stop at this Place Called Harley D's, which is a Harley theme bar and grill with good food. It's a neat place. These are just some thoughts. I'll try to get more solid plans once I get feel for who is interested. More to come!
 
:2thumbs::congrats: on Ryding the :spyder2:.
I've put 400 miles on mine since I got it back ten days ago and it's been running great!:doorag:
 
Glad your back on the Spyder Kim :2thumbs:

I hope it behaves for you, and hope to see you and HDX soon, and Road Dog and his new trike. We will meet at a doughnut shop.

Mark
 
I have been crossing my fingers every time I open this thread.

I hope the fix sticks :2thumbs:.
