• 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.

Ryde to Maggie Valley Owners Event

JC, good to hear that you and Carol will be there after all; we will be in the Microtel about 1 pm on Wednesday. we've been up here at Lake Norman (above Charlotte) since last week and had a storm on Sunday evening, but weather looks better this week. Went to see Tony Stewart's garage and Joe Gibbs garage today and we are heading West about 10 in the morning. Ryde Safe
 
JC, it's sure been a roller coaster ride for you and Carol but glad to hear you're going to make it. I still have my fingers crossed for you guys, given all of the changes in the last few weeks. The Florida Xpress leaves out in less than 6 hours. Mike and I have ended up in a cabin in Murphy lent to us by friends of my brothers. Psyched!!!! See you guys Friday for sure then! Ryde and be safe!!
 
Great ride for our group up to Clayton Ga and then into WEstern North Carolina and the Blue Ridge Parkway.. We couldn't resist some hotdogging on some of the curvaceous NC highways.. Fun Fun Fun
 
Just an update on some late spyders coming up from FL. We pulled out at 5:30 This morning. We had rain till I-10. We thought we were going to have it good from there, then we ran into heavy smoke till almost to Tifton GA. After that we had good weather. When we stopped just south of GA line to get some food and gas up and guess what we seen another spyder and trailer. Turn out to be spyderhusband and Sue. We rode together to Clayton GA Arrived here 5:15.We will see you all in MV tomorrow. One other thing Carol got her windsheild yesterday and I put it on for her for the ride. We rode 475 Miles for her first long ride on her new RS. I must say I'm Very proud of her for doing such a good job. This is the first time she has driven any type of bike or :spyder2: long distance, shes grinning ear to ear and is ready to ride tomorrow. JC

Now that I have been elected to be the new photogragher here is a couple pics of today. The photo with Carol with the one finger up is her first 1000 miles.

We had a nice ryde today with 9 spyders. 220 miles, of wonderful riding weather on some of the greatest roads including the TOG, Foothills Parkway, and Blue Ridge Parkway.
Thanks to all of my trailers, as I now rank them as experienced riders, and some were newbies---but no more!!!!!! GREAT job gang.

WE'RE JEALOUS :2thumbs:

Glad everyone is having fun and riding safe. As things worked out it's good that we didn't go. We're leaving in the morning to drive to Atlanta for a couple of days of work. Pretty important stuff so it's good that we're able to go. Only downside is we're taking the van! :gaah:

Great pic's Johnny, thanks for sharing. CJ sure looks good her her new :spyder2:

Did you all see that The economy is so bad that African television stations are showing 'Sponsor an American Child' commercials! ?
Well, some of us have to WORK for a living :gaah: and I hate to miss these awesome times you guys are having. Fortunetly I will let a gang of Harley riders hang with me when I get to go up in September for a week, but it just wont be the same without all you Hoolies!
 
Beautiful pics John, thanks. Sure glad everything has gone so well for everyone. One of these days I'm going to quit "helping HP with one more project" so we can ride with you and not just sit in a motel in Cordele, GA looking at all the fun your having. We're happy for everyone. Tomorrow is Sunday and I guess everyone will be heading home. We will get to Atlanta tomorrow and spend a couple days working, but we get to spend time with our daughter too so it won't all be work.

Please be careful on your ride home.

Mike

Carol, you look sexy straddling that roadster! I'm sure it has something to do with the picture taking techniques of the photographer too. :2thumbs:

The weather was superb, Lodging was great, could not have asked for a better vacation. Best time ever in our book.

Great Pics Mary, thank you
 
Thanks for sharing your great pictures with us Mary. Glad you and RL, and the group had a great time, and got home safely.

Mike & Sis
 
Thanks Mary, we sure missed being there, but loved the pictures. Hope to get to ride with you soon now that Sis is healing well. We're going to try some short rides soon and see how she does.
