• 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.

Official Updated 3 Great Lakes in 3 Great Days Ride

Sorry to interupt the attorney bashing (which I am in agreement of :roflblack:) But, is anyone else going to be sleepless on the night before this trip? I'm going to go thru the motions of going to bed, but I think sleep will be hard to come by. :2excited:

I have not heard back from a couple of people who were thinking of coming with me, so...Solo it is! The spyder has been cleared for take off, gassed, and packed. This is going to be so much fun...Butch said he is majorly jealous, so I'll have to think up a fun trip for us to do this fall to cheer him up. (Hey Joe, you and Butch could do an AeroStich run!)

See all of you Friday on the south side of the bridge! Travel safe, Paula

Paula,
I won't be getting any sleep either, but that is because I am working tonight...LOL Ride safe and we will see you Friday. Tell the boys, they will think of something to do, I'm sure.
 
My wife and I will be leaving in the morning, taking our time since this is her first "trip". We hope to hook up with everyone at the bridge at 330.:clap:
Ryde safe!
 
We had breakfast with RTGene and rode with him for a while. He is in rare form! He spent last night in Ionia he heard they had lots of beds. He wasn't happy when he found out they were only long term _ Ionia Maximum Security Prison.
 
Gene called, he made it safe and sound. Brian and I are getting ready to head over that way and see him and wait on the others. Can't wait to see everyone again.

We are leaving at 7:00 heading to Flint to meet up with the others if you want to ride with us send me a pm or call me at 616-340-9895
 
Made it Escanaba around supper time...now I get to take it easy tomorrow and play by the lake! Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow at the bridge.:clap:
 
Sorry guys.....

RTaz & I will not be able to attend this year. A few health issues have flared up. We really wanted to meet everyone and this would have been the perfect place to do that. Keep posting your rides and we'll try to get to some of them. Enjoy, your gonna have a near perfect weekend!

So sorry to hear that. I hope everything is okay and you heal or get well soon. It sure does look like a great weekend coming up. I am so excited.

We had dinner and a short get together with all the folks staying at the Comfort Inn tonight, Dick and Janet, Jim and Nancy, Ken, and Gene. The group is starting to shape up and it is going to be a good one. Looking forward to the ride tomorrow as well. Should be easy going and scenic. We will try not to stop too often so that we can get to the bridge meet up in a timely manner. It may be closer to 4:00 than 3:30 though with some of these dawdlers that I seem to have picked up.:joke:

We will miss you guys. I hope Bob is feeling better soon.
 
Have fun everyone and enjoy your ride. The weather will be beautiful and I put the request of no rain for you guys. Have some smoked fish at Mackinaw city across from the Harley shop on the main drag. A very nice snack. Above all please ride safely and enjoy. Please post pictures and updates often.

Yeah! Look forward to seeing you. Here is the address and phone for the Village Inn Hotel & Restuarant (906) 643-9511 - 250 S State St, St Ignace, MI.Have a great ride. I don't think we are planning on going into Canada. You need a passport so if you are planning to go be sure to bring yours with you.
 
Great trip

We made it home and sent Gene on his way. We had a great time and am looking forward to making more trips with you all. This was our first trip on the spyder and had an awsome time. Jim and lynda
 
Jim and Lynda,
It was great to meet you and glad you are home safe and sound. Post some of your photos in the thread on the main forum for all to see. We got home about 5:00pm and Brian left for the concert. I am staying home with the dogs. We hit a few sprinkles but nothing bad. The worst was the I-75 south bound traffic back up. We got off the x-way and took the back roads home.

Keep your eyes posted here for future trips.
