• 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.

Long Way Round

If you would like to watch a really great motor cycle touring documentary my I suggest `Long Way Round'. This is about two Englishmen going from London to New York on two BMW touring bikes. We are watching it on NetFlix and it is done in several hour long episode's. It is extremely interesting and very entertaining. Hope everyone will watch this and enjoy it as much as we have.
 
I saw the program my iPad with Hulu Plus this past year. It was great! Too bad our Spyders can't go thru some of the places they went. Looks like they had fun but grueling trip at times.
 
Some screen shots from the movie. Relaxed riding and trying to ride in deep loose dirt.

Watched it a couple years ago. Nice to have money and a support team but I don't take anything away from their accomplishment.

The sequel a few years later is Long Way Down. From Scotland to South Africa. Equally as entertaining (for us) and challenging (for them) as the first one.
 
1959 Chevy

Hi John P, that is a good looking truck, and hope you go to SPYDERFEST 5 in April

It is a 1959 Chevy Apatche step side long bed. I built it back in 95 and have had a great time with it ever since. Don't know about spyderfest this year, I would not drive the truck down any way. Plus I'm having to much fun on the spyder. But I'm glad you like the truck.
 
Slight correction ... 2 Scotsmen (they would not take kindly to being called Englishmen). I thoroughly enjoyed The Long Way Round. They've done another adventure you can see in The Long Way Down. It takes them from John O'Groats, Scotland to the Southernmost tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas, and then on to Cape Town. Regards, Dan

I took your your advice and watched both of them. Very entertaining and they were able to see some incredible countries wild life and meet some wonderful people along the way. A must see series!
 
Just watched the first series, Long Way Round. What a great show. I don't watch a lot of tv normally, but since I'm on vacation, I watched the entire 9 episodes on one day. (Don't judge me....) looking forward to seeing the next series on Netflix.
 
YES

We watched both adventures on Netflex. Enjoyed both, but liked the Long way around the best. A Must See:2thumbs:
