First long ride with laser aligned ST

For sure that storm that blew through yesterday was a real frog-strangler. And, it's not common to see that large a temp drop although it does happen occasionally. Glad you made it through OK.

I sort of figured you would be out on the road this weekend for your trip and was praying for you for safe travels. Glad all is well and that the Lord watched over you.

Tent

I have been caught in the rain a number of times as we all have, but most of the time can find a bridge or some other shelter. However, once while on a trip I got caught in one of those butt tightening storms with no shelter to be found. After that I brought one of those tents that can be erected in 1 minute (you can truly do it in less than a minute) and keep it and a couple of chairs in the trailer all of the time. Thankfully we haven't had to use it yet, but it makes us feel better by having it in there. Rudy

Glad you made it OK and a great read......I had these at Spyderfest 2013 and you know how the weather was there .........on-line @ Walmart " Celsius " ice fishing gloves in outdoors & sports part # DNG-M......for you I would get the X-L..........they are like a Divers Wet suit Your hands will get wet However they will warm up ( immediately) and stay warm because the water doesn't transfer (just like a wet suit for Divers).......I told others here about them and so far those that bought them have reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally liked them........Right "Murphy B.", and they are only $12......A lot less hassel than putting on heated grips......Mike....PS, the gloves can be sent to any Walmart you want for free.....

Thanks for for the post, never heard of these.

I wonder if they have them for paws?

Hope we had a part of letting you live to tell this tale..I have a little metal angel in my Spyder that says never drive faster than your angel can fly...but that wasn't this situation.. your problem was the weather " which shows no mercy to anyone" . Sounds like you might have had a little meet and greet with the lord...but it was not your time...you will live to tell more tales...Your a tough road warrior that's what pulled you threw..be careful on the road and see you in Daytona.

I also have this in my glove box of the :spyder2:

Praise God for watching over you.

Adding to the Laser Alignment Procedures

I rode down to Spyderpops before our meeting in Springfield. I had a close look of the procedure and I must say it is a very precise measurement tool. After Harvey and I aligned my :spyder2:, we went out for a run and the difference was there. Turns were even easier to negotiate with, and on straight roads it felt smoother. However, the first sign was rolling the :spyder2: out of the shop: it felt smooth! The best proof was on my wife's RS: we always had a hard time moving it around the garage, and once it got aligned, it wanted to roll away on a flat surface!

Worth the price! I love it that after each time Lamont and Harvey did an alignment at the Branson hotel, the customer would ride off to test it, and ride back with a smile on their face like if they have just bought the :spyder2:! :firstplace:
