• 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.

Put my Spyder into Hibernation - Oct 2016

Today I put my "spyder in" for it's long winter's nap, :gaah::gaah:. I have a 2014 RTS-SE6.

During the winter months I will figure out what trips, and places to visit, and what farkles I will add to my spyder.

I have 2 trips/events that I will be attending next year. They are Homecoming in Valcourt,Quebec ( June 2,3,4, 2017,) and Spyderquest( Sept. 6,7,8,9 2017). Stay Tuned!

I will stay in touch/and post on this site.

Sorry to hear that, Deanna. I do know all about it though. I lived for 52 years in a climate that meant parking the bike in the middle of October, and digging it out again the end of March (if you're lucky), but now I live on the Westcoast of Canada so I stay licensed year round, but all the roads out of here are mountanous so all riding over the winter months is just local. Have a good winter, and maybe someday we'll meet up on the road.
 
That Sucks

It isn't even Halloween yet.

There is still a chance for some good riding here in Vt. We rode 90 miles yesterday, My RT is never really put away, it's always pointed towards the street. Last year we rode in Nov, and 70 miles on Christmas eve. :clap::clap::clap:
I know it is early, but I got to do what I got do. Deanna

I know it is early, to put the spyder into hibernation but I got to do what I got to do. Yes, I do hope meet you on the road someday.

Last year I also put my spyder in hibernation at the same time. Deanna
 
lot of time left.

Last winter being mild rode every month but february. Just to say i did lol

Can retire in january not sure i will. still enjoy what i do SOMEDAYS :shocked:
 
Nah...not yet. Not until the salt gets spread on the roads for me. I can dress warm, but I won't ride in the salty messes they make around here in southern WI.
 
Yep, this time of year really sucks.

We will be putting the bikes away in mid November. Still hoping to get some last minute riding in.

See you at both events next year. :thumbup:
 
My condolences to those of you who have to hibernate. :( Here, if the roads are clear of ice and snow, I'll dig out the ski jacket and snow pants (or snowmobile suit) and the winter gloves and go for a ride. Even if it's a short ride to the coffee shop to warm up it's better than PMS (parked motorcycle syndrome).
