• 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.

ooooooh noooooo

Weather?

Having done a couple cross country solos, and ridden a DL1000 Suzuki for three hours in 30° F on my way to Houston, I do not get overly concerned about weather. Looking forward to testing Spyder in snow....LOL

This morning we saw 26° F while walking the dogs, easily accommodated with my riding outfit....Aerostich one piece suit.

Will watch this thread... nice to see the Carpenters....
 
Studded snow tires and let the good times roll. :roflblack:

My dealer tried just that in winter of 2008. He rode the Glenn Highway one time. About 25 miles for him. Nope--he ain't going to do that again. You can go--but you are not going to stop very well on black ice. And then there are all those out of control big pickups and SUV's. :yikes::yikes: There is another that rode in Northern MN on some very scary roads--to me. I rode those same roads in winter and no-way would I drive a :spyder2: on them. But--that's just me. From my safety standpoint--I park it when it gets icy and stay parked until the ice is off the roads. And--I am one of the earliest to fire up in the spring.

Big SUV's

Yup, when the contest is being waged, and some less than intelligent driver of a FWD monster, raised in the South, but claiming to be an expert driver in all conditions (with his twenty-five minutes of experience in snow) for sure, this is the reason to avoid the Spyder in snow or ice.
 
December 1st: I rode my Spyder today!! :yes::yes::yes:
It feels just like stealing time; from Mother Nature, and Old Man Winter!! :roflblack:
