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.

Great to meet you two as well, hope you get some info on here that helps you out.
I was in duluth and should have hit up sledhead on here, made a land speed record in duluth yesterday and was over in fargo area today.
made 85 miles in 46 minutes from Detroit lakes to dirt town, 113 in hubbard co is one of the best roads for spyders along with jay cook state highway. I mean if you have alot to live for I would not take them too hard though.

ND Spyder
don't live in Minnesota, (West Fargo, ND) but we ride a lot in Mn on our short trips. Just got a 2010 RTS-SE5 with the 622 trailer (orbital blue), hope to make longer rides into Mn and Wisconsin.:chat:

Its getting a little cold here in Michigan too. Joe and I rode today it was sunny and 50. The sun makes 50 feel more like 60. I've only used the low setting on the heated grips, I don't want to wimp out and turn them on high just yet.
Seth do you put snow tires on your Spyder?

that is awesome I didn't ride anywhere but to work last week with that crazy wind and rain and thats not even 15 miles total trip. I would like to get back down there but with deer hunting going on and such it cuts into my riding time. I am kicking around going to sirra vista AZ this jan/feb trailering down to NM and riding over if anyone wants to go . be about 10 days, got a place to crash for at least 4 people total.
No, the problem was the front tires create so much drag is you are stopped in more than 3 inches of snow that you do spin, I am sure if I found a snow tire it would work but that would only get me about 5-10 more days of riding. The spyder works great on tar with a "little" ice so you have to pick and choose what you want to do. Me being in a wheelchair "kinda" limits the days I go out with the snow and all.
come on up and ride or see how cold it can get. it was only 29 degrees here last night if would only get down to 0 this place would be a ton more conducive to riding. that and it was summer again on march 1st.

MN riders
Seth; It is a little early for me to return to MN. Weather here is in the 80's but will cool down to the 70's by the end of next week. We will stay here until the nights a too warm for sleeping. This coming week-end I plan to drive to LA area and go with my daughters boyfriend riding on PCH. He said it will be a easy day run of 5 to 6 hours. He just purchased a 2008 :spyder2: with my incouragement and seems to enjoy riding it. Right now he is adding a GPS ram mount, finished the satellite radio and iPhone hook up. I added some more lights to mine as Hwy I-10 if full of trucks at night and I prefer to be lit up like a Christmas tree to make myself more visible to them. We are 50 miles each direction from any type of town so I have lots of opportunities to ride the highways. Another friend here in the park has a 2010 RT so we find any excuse to run to the store. Hopefully will have the opportunity to meet others:ani29: in MN this summer.

Do I count? I am about 20 mile east of Stillwater. One of those border jumpers. I just baught a 08 about a month ago. I just got to take it out on my maiden voyage. Pretty gutsey to buy one and have never road one before. I read alot about Spyders before I spent the money. Final result is ,"I LOVE IT!! It is definately a toy. Fun as Hell!! Hope that someone in the area arranges some sort of get together ride this summer!!:2thumbs:
