• 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.

Nice ride today!

Finally - I think it made it up to 50. We had a breakfast to go to so we rode there. I was passenger - still nervous taking mine out on the highway and still waiting to see if the new dps I got last Fall is the answer so I rode with HDX. Got a nice pic of Roaddog on his new Harley.....

had new dps put in mine after i got back from lamonts... been riding all winter everything seems to be great....
 
That is good to hear! My neck/shoulder has been really bad lately so if it were to act up, I am in no condition to fight it right now. I hope mine and others who have had new dps's put in is the final answer. Just wish they'd tell us that!
 
I had to work this morning, in at 5:00 out at 11:00. We was on the road by 1:00:spyder: up around the lake with snow on the ground. Back in by 4:00 after a brief stop at the in laws. Just before the sun started hiding behind the clouds. Guess we got about 100 miles, all in all a good day.:doorag:
 
Yup, it hit 50 here today too. There is still a lot of snow on the ground though, melting very slowly. We rode our spyders to church this morning, then the grocery store and now I am at work and Brian is playing basketball. And yes we both took our spyders. Kim, it will be nice when you can get riding on your spyder again. I am enjoying mine as much today as when I got it two years ago. Looking for every opportunity to ride.

I'm glad you got to go out for a ride. It was a nice day for sure! I went on a ride myself. There was still snow out where I went in the northeast area. There was a snowmobile snocross event in Barton Vermont which I drove by to see some of the action. I got many looks from bystanders with me on the spyder. I then stopped and had breakfast at this very good diner in Coventry. Anyhow, I had a good ride and logged over 150 miles for the day. This is a picture I took while on the road trip.

Dr appt at 8 a.m. tomorrow, probably MRI soon. I think the only thing that totally bothered me was my helmet - I really can't stand any added weight on my head. Next weekend it might hit the 60's so depending what the doc says, I might try it. I won't wear the big helmet :2thumbs:

Glad you guys are out and about on your Spyders again!

Wow - look at the snow there! But the roads are nice and clear for ya! Nice to have gotten a ride in huh? I can't wait - hopefully winter will be overwith soon. I'm looking forward to trying my new passenger seat bag!

It was a beautiful day here, in the 70s, so we went riding. Had a great ride, nice lunch, and then back to the house. Bike ran and handled great! It was a great day.
 
Kim, I hope you get your spyder on the road too. I haven't had the issues with the DPS so far. I hope it works well for you. I still would like to have a spyder meet & greet up here sometimes with some of the spyderlovers for all who are interested. I'll just have to plan on a time and place.
I won't be riding much this week or maybe for the rest of the month myself. I will be going in the hospital this Thursday for a gallbladder operation. I have some large gallstones which cause painful attacks every once in a while, so I have to have my gallbladder removed. Hopefully once I recover everything will be normal for me.
 
vtrider...

It takes a lot of gall, to have your gall bladder removed.:joke: Seriously, good luck with your surgery. Had my appendix removed, at age 58. Man, I didn't know something so small could hurt so much! Ugh...

It was 52 here today...went on a circle ride of about 50 miles and an hour. Supposed to be 59 here tomorrow...we'll see...:pray:

Good luck with the surgery. Endoscopic, I hope, that's much easier on you. They cut open a six inch slash on me, and that's a bit harder to take, but they had other work to do so there was no choice. We'll say a little prayer. :pray:
 
great to here you guys got out.
Too bad you didn't take your spydie out yet. I just finished up my air suspension & brakes tonight.. Now i need to rebuild my exhaust and im ready.

I hear that the surgeons are so good now days at gallbladder removal that they do them while you Wait :joke:

vtrider, good luck with your surgery. I had mine removed in 1998. Went in at about 2:30 one afternoon was prepped and on the table in about an hour. They cut a inch slit above my belly button, another about 4" higher than that and two smaller cuts on my right side. I woke up in recover the next day and the worse pain was getting out of bed for the first time. I went home a few hours later and they gave me a script for 50 percosets. My brother filled it and I took one and went to bed. Everytime I woke up, I would eat and take another and go back to bed. About 4 days later I felt better and stopped taking the painkillers and a week after the surgery the stitches came out. The best part was being able to eat whatever I wanted and not worry about having an attack. I once ate a hard boiled egg and thought I was going to die.
