• 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.

Minnesota SpyderLovers October 13th Ride

We had a great turn out considering the weather forecast: 14 Spyders and 4 motorcycles! Much to the dismay of Seth and a few others we didn't make it to Duluth to visit Aerostich (that is back on the ride list for next year for sure) but we did have a good ride. We took Les's favorite back roads to Askov where we stopped at The Little Mermaid Cafe (named after the story by Has Christian Anderson) after lunch we headed back to Mora via more of Les's backroads.

This was the first time we have had any Spyder issues: 1 flat tire (fixed), low rear tire (pumped up) and another issue with a Spyder that was remedied and got the Spyder back to Caswell Cycle (where it will stay!) after two years of rides this was the first time anyone's had trouble...not too bad!

Because of the "troubles" I zipped up front to let Les know and when we got going again I got to sneak in between Les and Tommy to play up front - hit some corners in the 80's and 90's (wheeeee!) That was FUN!!!!

Here's the link to the photos I took on the ride: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/album.php?albumid=2408 if anyone has more photos send them to me and I'll add them to the album.

Butch was the winner of the poker hand and scored a new BRP jacket from Caswell Cycle. Tommy Jensen (aka fireplug98) won the drawing for a new Minnesota Spyderlovers t-shirt! As a special gift to all the riders Caswell Cycle gave each of us a long sleeve BRP Spyder t-shirt!!!!

It's been a great riding season (one good thing about a drought!) and we got some great suggestions for next seasons rides. Thanks to everyone that has joined us throughout the season and let's do it again next year!

Great photo's

Paula the ryde was great. Of course your chocolate brownies are still the best. I had a second one in honor of Seth. BTW, that was a neat trick you used to photoshop a bald spot on the back of my head. Mike
