• 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.

Spyder is a Babe magnet

Had a great time with some old friends in Maggie Valley this weekend. These are guys and gals that I've known from way back when from our Valkyrie club. Most of us have moved on to other bikes now but our friendship is still strong. We meet every year and it's always a good time.

The Spyder was a hit this year and I wouldn't be surprised if this was a Spyder rally next year. ;) I let whoever wanted to ride it take a spin around the area. I wasn't sure if some of them were ever going to come back :dontknow: but they all had a good time and I was glad to share my new toy with some good friends.

As alway there was a crowd around the Spyder at all times. One of my buddies said he couldn't get turned around because he was being stopped by folks wanting to know all about it. :D

There were a couple of folks that even pulled into the parking lot just to get a closer look. This little gal was so cute I could hardly take it.:p



The ladies really took to it but there were a couple of the guys that looked at it real close too. :doorag:



This is my friend PIBIT. This guy is a real rider, he comes down to just aboat ;) any event we have all the way from Canada. I've know him since 2000 when we met at a Custom Valkyrie Bike show in Asheville. He still has his Valk but he said his Harley came with the girl so he couldn't pass it up. :congrats:


I wasn't feeling that great this morning so I took a nice easy ride though a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway that I hadn't been on before. It dropped me down on to 441 and that will lead you right into Gatlinburg where the Spyder Rally will be. It was a nice easy day and I did about 160 miles or so. :doorag:




For some reason I just had to stop and take a picture of this sign. :yikes:



By the way I guess I put on about 500 miles this weekend and I love my new risers and the Ride-On stuff seems to be doing it's trick. I have very little vibration now in the bars and my hands never did go numb and my shoulder didn't bother me at all. I think I'm just about ready for my long trip next week. :doorag:

I hope some of my BigBikeRider friends will login here and tell their stories and maybe post some pics. :chat: I guess I had a good group of Police around the Spyder while I was in my room. I think they liked it. :2thumbs::spyder:

So, that's what Paint-it-Black-in-Toronto looks like? Girl and HD... what a deal! Sounds like you had fun.

Ah, the good old days when...:clap:

:2thumbs: :2thumbs: It was great to see you at Maggie Valley. Had a chance to talk to you (actually ask ) about all the additions to the Spyder. It was fun watching all of the riders coming back with a smile from ear to ear. Believe that there will be a few more Spyders running around Maggie Valley next year. I'm planning on riding mine down with the wife, just didn't have some of the parts needed for a long ride, like high risers and back rest. I had a great time with my wife, Julie, with me on this trip, her first major trip and she plans on being there next year. It seems that this annual meeting gets better each year, a great group of folks just relaxing and having a good time. To me it felt like it was just yesterday that we had seem each other. My best to one and all for a great time..... :yes: :cheers: :cheers: :bowdown:
