• 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 many miles did you put on your Spyder this summer?

Since the season is coming to a close for those of us further north, I'm curious to hear how much time we all spent on our Spyders since Spring.

Mine was new last year in August and I didn't ride much before the cold set in. I only had 600 miles on it after my first ride (to the dealer) this Spring.

When I parked my Spyder tonight, I checked and total miles is 3830.

So I did 3230 miles in since about May.

I realize that probably doesn't rival some of you, but I'm pretty impressed!

Maybe I'll manage to get in some more good ride time before it gets too cold for me.

I was just down in the cities this last week and it was 85 and warmer, the thermal layer is about st cloud and it is AT least 5-10 warmer down there.

riding season is from december to december we just have to work harder up here to do that.

I just turned 21,000 miles this year I have 41,000 on the bike with a blown engine that screwed me out of riding in feb of this year. It has been the best month of riding weather of the year the last month.

Studabaker bob down there at 80 years old was still tearing around, I missed a big bike show 3000 bikes down there. I wish I could get down there more. and If you are looking for more miles that are fun to go to 52 in zumbro valley off of the 61 or the river road, they are a blast.
 
We picked up our RT on July 3rd... Got 2700 miles on it so far even with taking a month off for foot surgery:gaah: I still figure that we've got a least another month of riding time here though...:D
 
About 3000 miles this Summer. Total 6000 in the first year of ownership. Much better than the 2500-3000 I would do on two wheels most years.
 
Don't know about just this summer,

but in a post on Jan. 05 I had ridden 6,699 miles. I have since ridden another 10,102.
 
May 30th to September 6th - 5800 miles

Over a dozen 150-200 mile rydes around northern California, and my regular 80-mile round trips to work.
 
Think about 5500 or so since May. Let's see one trip with trailer to SITS Rally and then onto Nashville for the Blue Grass Bash and tourist type of things. So Far I have the DPS thing done and glad I rode the Dragon before I had that done. It basically made it easier in arm effort to hit the Understeer point. Lost two fasteners on the Nashville trip and had some intermitant shifting and clutch slippage problems with and without the trailer. Gas mileage ran from 23 to 27 and when I mentioned that to the dealer the shop foreman said that was pretty good from what he heard from others? If the clutch thing ever becomes constant than maybe I will take the trike into be looked at because until then they never see the problem when it occurs and say there is nothing they can do. Meanwhile I soldier along and enjoy time on the trike when possible. Weather due to change here soon so it will go away for the cold winter season soon. Next year if this gas mileage and shifting sort themselves out a bit I will take some long trips across country maybe. Bill ;)
 
Took delivery of 0180 RT in late Dec.09. Weather prevented ridding much at all first 4 months of year (lots of snow). Have right at 12,000 miles on it. Scheduled for 12K service next week. Should add another 2-4K yet this year (weather permitting).
 
Wow, lots of you guys are far ahead of me.

I wish I were farther south and could ride year round.

It was 42 this morning and was just too cold for me to ride the hour + to work despite the fact that it'll be 70 before the end of the day.

I'll give it another couple of weeks before I store the Spyder in the garage for the winter. Maybe it'll stay warm enough and I'll have time in the evenings and on weekends to add to my miles before I put her away.
 
about 1800 on another! about 700 on one! 2300 on another! 800 on another! 2700 on another one! 300 on another! 250 on another! 1300 on another! and about 500 on another! and about 3200 another! and about 300 on another!:ohyea:
 
2,830 miles...in 14 months. Not enough to make it worth while, to keep my Spyder. So, it goes back to the credit union later this month.:dontknow:

its been quite the change up here when the sun goes down was in fargo and had it drop 35 degrees in an hour and a half. its been the best 40 days of riding for the year, no tourists, no bugs and not so many cops.
 
Picked it up 7-10-2010 and gotten in about 2800mi so far. I'll probably only take about 5 more days off this year, so there will not be many more this year. Then home for the Super Bowl.
 
I purchased my Spyder the first of July and it had 1640 on it. The last time I gassed up the mileage was 4578. It really doesn't seem like we have ridden it that much. My how the miles fly when you are having fun!!
