I hit 80,000 miles in exactly five years, just putting around in the local four or five counties. Not too bad I guess, for an old fart with no place to go.

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.
How is it possible for some of you to get all that mileage on your Spyder

She's too busy riding, to do the Math. :bowdown:
Yes there is a lot of wisdom on here. Some are really full of it, and others not so much.lol But ask the question and there will be a answer. Just kidding guys. Love you all.

Ah, we'll accept cumulative mileage from all your cycles... Though the OP was asking about Spyder mileage... but we've all strayed at one time or another....<:sour:

Was wondering when that subject would come up. :roflblack::roflblack:
My posted statistics in signature are Spyder only. The two wheel stuff is just extra gravy and I keep track of that for my own personal. I put 3,500 miles on my new Vulcan between June 30 and shutdown (late October) last year--lots of Spyder miles too.
Wait till somebody asks a question about what states to fill in on a map? Then the fight starts. :roflblack: :roflblack:

AKSPyderman, I only show Spyder states in my map, after 20 years in the AF, If I did all states I've rode in, I'd need a world map...two (different) of my cycles have been to Europe and the Philippines thanks to our tax dollars at work.
I used to have a map. It showed all the states I rode in. If it was just Spyder, I would only have AK, HI, and two Canadian Providences. No map, no issues. :roflblack::roflblack:

Her spyder is a commuter car so its on the go 7 days a week when the temp is above 40 and we took it to florida last year just the milage back from key west was about 2000 so 20,000 in 13 months was easy this year we have no vacation plans or trips to sturgis so i would think about 15,000 for the year.

Geography has definitely played a role in how many miles I get to ride. We lived in Florida for a while and in two years cranked out almost 33,000 miles on our RT. Now back in Maine I'm lucky to get 6,000 a year. Down south it was just a different life. Bike nights. Group rides. Long 300 mile days. Up here in the north it just seems harder to find the time or the weather to just hop on and go.
But I can definitely relate to the spiritual comments I'm reading on this thread. Smelling the different trees. The salt air. There's just a feeling we get that's hard to explain. Also love reading about you guys and gals in your 70s and 80s. Ride on everyone. And keep writing!

Then you need to update them to "4.5 miles per post." :roflblack:
Or is it just this long winter causing a temporary discrepancy? :dontknow:
Not many Here
The wife and I love ours, we purchased our 2013 RTL in June of 17 and had 3500 miles on it in 4 months we stayed local and have some good twisties in the area. As others have said it is the smiles, just yesterday we did a short 60 miles of smiles as the weather warmed up enough. We had our midlife crisis a little late but hope our health holds out also as this is so much fun we just wish we wold have done it sooner

Age restricted...NOT
I spent that the last 2 months in America’s Friendliest Town, The Villages Fl. Joined the Villages Spyder Ryders club and rode with several retirees on several different rides. Each and every one had nothing but SMILES AND SMILES on all the miles ridden. :clap::bowdown::yes: Age was not a concern and many looked far younger than the calendar proved! Ride on!
