• 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.

MEET AND GREET

Dang, 2Gunns and Bruiser are missing this one. Even though I'll be in SC, I hope there are more opportunities to meet.

I really am going to miss not making this, but I'm there in spirit.... take lots of pictures and be sure to post a good group shot. Ryde Safe

NC Meet & Greet

Thanks for the list Sam, it looks like a good turn out. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and going for what looks like a great ride.
:thumbup:

Will be leaving in about 45 minutes.:ohyea: Looking forward to a nice ride if we don't get rained on before we get out of our area. Tomorrow should be a lot of fun!!!!!!
 
I will be there but will not be able to do the ride. I have a trip to Charleston SC to make tomorrow. Look forward to meeting everyone.
 
My wife and I had a wonderful time today!!!!! It was really nice to meet everyone. Sure would be nice if we had people like all of you to ride with in our area.....

Hopefully we can all get together again and take another ride on the :spyder2:. I'll try get some picture posted hopefully tomorrow after we get home. Looks like it may be a wet trip home, but l would have to say it would be worth every minute of it after meeting all of you.


Remember, if any of you ever come over in our neck of the woods you always have a place to stay. We have plenty of room and were only about 40 minutes from the parkway!!

A big thanks to everyone that had anything to do with putting this together!!!

It was a great time today even though it was very hot. Much thanks to SpyderDuck, Catniption, and JoeB for planning this. North Carolina's loss is South Carolina's gain. Hope all goes well with your move this week, Catniption!
 
Wonderful time

Our group had an awesome time yesterday and would love to see more come...all in all at Applebees we counted 18 spyders!! AWESOME!! Kudos to the organizers on job well done. Hubbie (hobstopper) and I had a very nice time and enjoyed meeting you all cant wait to see the pics.

Anyone be interested in a meet and greet in Goldhill? I would love to try to arrange something!

til next time,

MRS Hobstopper
 
Many people suggested more Meet & Greets, so go for it. We would come to Goldhill if the date worked for us. Can you "promise" a little cooler weather?;)
 
Nice to see yer.....ter see yer....nice

'Twas good yesterday, wasn't it....I'd not seen so many Spyders in one place before.
Bein' as I live in Kernersville, the Mt Airy meet will be an up and back thing for me, so is there a convenient meeting place...?

Sorry I didn't make the ride but with the potential of atmospheric prepisitation I decided "No but thankyou."
Did go to that MC gear store on High Point Road and bought Frog Togs and a decent pair of riding pants.
New baby Grandneice is doing very well and She'll be home this eve...(not, though, in my house yet).

I took a good bunch of photos yesterday but my four year old digital Rebel has gone on strike. Checked all I could (no user servicable parts.....) and took it to the Best Buy Guru team who pronounced it dead on arrival. I ended up buying a new Canon but it will work on my telescopes and I can control it from the laptop.
Indy Nascar is gettin' interesting so 'bye fer now.

Really Nice Meet; Perhaps a Breakfast Meet Soon

Surprised to see so many of us, and several close enough to my area that I'm gonna suggest a breakfast meet and ride up towards/into Mts one day soon when the WX breaks a bit. At my age I've become a fair wx rider and the PM temps we're having are too much for me.

If I see what looks reasonable, I might throw it out here on short notice, so keep a watch out. As an alternative, if any of you want to send me your email I can let you know directly.

I'm thinking Winston area, perhaps the K&W cafeteria on Hanes blvd, just off Rt 8, off Rt 52 just N of Winston.
 
We had a great time!! Made it home safely with only one down-pore. It sure was nice to get back home. The highest temperature we saw was 99, and by the time we got home it was 83. Felt great.....Greensboro seems like a nice place, but it sure was hot there. Total trip was 611.8 miles. Already mowed the yard and got my weekend duties done. Think I may take a nap!!

Remember we have room available if any of you ever want to come ride up in our area!!!!
 
I'm in the process of uploading pictures to Photobucket. When they are uploaded I'll post a link so everyone can see them. If anyone wants copies just let me know and I'll email them to you.

Thanks for the pictures and the momories of a near perfect day. look foward to seeing each of you at our next get together.

I've had computer problems the last couple days... haven't been able to rely to post. Looks like you guys had a great timeand I was very impressed at the turnout Can't wait until the next....hopefully I will make that one.
I think the direction this is taking is "right on target".... someone take the lead and schedule a "meet n' greet" in your area. Since we do cover such a large geographic this will help spread it around a bit.

Goldhill would be great (would'nt mind some Johnny's BBQ;)) and a Breakfast meet would be nice as well....no reason we can't mix things up.
