• 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.

Made it Home safe

I made it home yesterday in about 10.5 hours which included plenty of rest stops. No rain at all, even though the forecast said I was going to get pretty wet. :thumbup:

A big thank you to the Mo Gang and everyone else involved with this awesome event. :2thumbs:

It was great seeing my SpyderLover friends again.

I'm Home

Got home yesterday (Sunday) after spending the night in Cinci with family. I sure had a good time at Spyderfest and riding with the Ohio bunch was lots of fun. We got soaked on Wednesday but misery likes company:mad:. The trip home was dry, for the most part.:D
Also,
Good riddance to Osama bin Laden, I hope he enjoys his 26 virgins:yes:I guess he'll get a chance to see what "wet-and-wild" means from the middle of the ocean.:clap:
See y'all at Maggie Valley.
 
NorthStar back home

Good 4000 km trip to Cuba and back. A little rain, a lot of sun, and best of all a super get together.

Been to a large number of rallies over the years and I must admit that Spyderfest is hands down the best "ride in" we have ever attended. Helmets off to the Mo Gang volunteers and Cowtown for sharing southern hospitality with us northern folks.

Thanks again for putting on such a special event.;)
 
We rode 725 miles yesterday and 350 today to arrive home at 1:30pm & much drier and less windblown than our journey there. Sign me up for Spyderfest 2012!! Incredible event. thank you
 
pauly1 and I made it home safe :) What a great event! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! to everyone involved!!!!! :thumbup: :firstplace: :thumbup:
 
We made it home safe and sound, today around 2:30pm. The only rain we hit was a we were leaving Hannibal, MO after having lunch with SpyderAnn and Boots, rode in the rain for about 45 minutes then the sun came out! However when we woke up in Waterloo the next morning is was only 32 degrees and as we headed north to home it only got to 35, but no snow! What a great weekend! Thanks Cowtown and everyone else who helped put SpyderFest together and the great people of Cuba for hosting us.

Just walking in the door. Left yesterday morning around 9:00am. Took I-44 south to Rolla, then south on highway 63. Had heavy rain all along 63 and ran into a washout of the road in Black Rock. Road was one lane. While we were waiting on the other lane to go I was talking to a highway worker. There was a crosswind of 60-62mph. It almost took our helmets off. BUT the spyders ran great in the wind. It was 51 degrees and rained all the way to West Memphis.
Thanks to Len and John the new shocks made a world of difference. They changed my shocks at 12:05am Saturday night after the dinner. THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Rhonda and myself had a fantastic vacation. We met alot of great people.
I would like to thank all of the people who made this event possible. Looking forward to next year. I am selling my rainsuit.......I will never ride in rain again,,,,I will never ride in rain again......LOL...
 
Made it in about 6 pm. Rode 2385 miles. It could not have been any better, THANK YOU to every one involved. Ken Craft
 
Made it home Monday night. Tina and I took 2 days to come home--- stayed over in Springfield Illinois and then on home from there. Not great weather on the way home -- but no rain to speak of....:thumbup:

Great time with everyone as usual....:thumbup:
 
HOME is a loooong way away...but the joy is here and now!!!

Had a great first day's ryde...thru the backroads from Cuba...started out with 1 layer of underarmor and raingear...sun all the way...beautiful countryside to ryde thru...Got to Macon, MO..needed fuel...local also filling her car..asked where to eat...she said right over there..that is where all the locals eat!!!! Said that ones the right one...got there...oh oh floorboard loose...like realllllly lose....parked went in little restaurant that you would never know was...little brick house that looked like it needed just a FEW repairs...hand printed sign says lunch only/cash only...inside it was out of a grass roots story...old chrome sets for tables..still allow smoking in an area...maybe total 10 tables...locals talking and eating...this couple said hey you ryde that thing out there...said I did got ready to sit at a table and they said come join us...how totally delightful they were (tried to convince the Mrs. that 88 she was just the right age for Spyder ryding...offered to give her a ryde!!!). Told them I needed to do a little "fixing" on my floorboard as it had lost it's nuts...oh my more than this old farmer could handle so the stories started about castrating!!! Anyway he says heck walk across the street and ask for Billy...he can fix anything. So go over and here stands a young (44) guy by a motorcycle...I say you Billy...he says no just getting bike inspected. Find Billy he is one busy dude (must be another Scotty!!!)..I said no rush not driving her this way..back over to eat & visit..soon here comes Motorcycle guy..name Darrin...start telling stories..he says heck Billy is busy I'll borrow some bolts & nuts and fix your floorboard...which he proceeded to do...amazing people. Such friendliness, hospitality and down right good folk....this has been my experience coming to Spyderfest and now heading home. Thought I could make it to St. Joseph for the night but a few miles out of Chillicothe I noticed that Ms Spyder wanted to move left or right on her own...whoops noticed driver like spacing out...NOT a good sign...so looked for first exit with motel and said done for the day...tomorrow looking like I will run across Kansas and then turn N...weather will make final decision for me.
Loved, loved, loved meeting and greeting at Spyerfest...:yes::yes:
 
Made it home 9 last night. Mostly overcast weather coming home. Actually ideal conditions for riding. Had a great time and met great people. Realy looking forward to next year. :thumbup::firstplace:
 
I loved Spyderfest, I met some great people, learned more about riding my Spyder and good food. I arrived a little early and had to leave early. The trip back was great until I got to Arkansas and kept hitting detourthro to flooding. What should have been a 275 mile ride ended up being 425. Not a bad ride but sad to see all of the flooding.

We live on an island on the Mississippi river by Memphis and we are not flooded yet but the water is projected to reach all time highs.:dontknow:
