• 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.

Snowed In - Really

We left Salt Lake City around 11:30 this morning hoping that the bad weather would be gone. No luck, made it to Fillmore, UT where we stopped for gas and were regaled with pictures of the mayhem taking place on the Interstate about 20 miles south of here. There is a lot of snow and slush on the road and several semis crashed in the southbound lanes. Crazy weather. We had a cup of coffee and decided to check in at a hotel rather than ride through it. If it was just me on the Spyder I might consider it, but I'm pulling a trailer and Joe's on two wheels. Better safe than sorry.
 
:D As much as I'd love to chuckle over this... I can't! :shocked:
Hang tough!! the weather will clear pretty soon!! :thumbup:
Besides; It's 75 and sunny here today, and I'm too sick to ride! :gaah:
 
Smart move on your part for staying over night, today it was 60's , and sunny and awesome today to ride, BUT I was inside all day WORKING( do the work thing)

Dee,
We need some bigger letters, and a little bit more contrast... :shocked: nojoke
You have a beautiful voice; don't whisper! :D
 
Take Care on the way home..........and safe travels........
(Remind Joe he owes you a vacation, for all the work you did at Spyderfest)
 
Have to agree..!!

always better to be safe than sorry. Weather can go either way and very quickly. Relax enjoy the layover then move on when its safe...:thumbup:
 
So Fillmore, UT is a wide spot in the road. The lady at the hotel told us there were two choices for dinner, the restaurant at the hotel and a Chinese restaurant at the other end of town. She said the Chinese was good so we went there. There were 3 tour buses there and one open table so we went for it. The Chinese were all taking pictures of the Spyder as they were leaving the restaurant and one guy even had the nerve to sit on it (I ran him off) The place cleared out and before they got all the tables cleared another bus pulled in.
 
good that ya got a room...be safe

I am not a dirty FC and I ride in the snow.
don't get me wrong with joe there its a wayy bigger risk and if its not a race then they made the right choice, even though I am sure joe could do it, he is damn good at the riding of the motorcycle as the restaurant they were would have said it.

It was 31 when came home last saturday morning. Joe and ann come up here and do some alignments!! you can stay here and work out of my garage, there is no laser alignments on the west side of the state.
 
Comparing experiences, I was told that driving in the snow with the trailer (loaded) is an advantage because it keeps the rear wheel on track.
However, if it is hard on 3 to do it on the snow... I can't even imagine on 2.
Best choice was to check in and wait it off!:thumbup:
